Chris Crack Effortlessly Glides On Soulful ‘Good Cops Don’t Exist’ LP [Review]
Source: Skyler Durden / SD Chris Crack requires several listens before the brilliance of his gift resonates. He isn’t overly concerned with heady concepts, at least not by way of pushing such angles via his music. Instead, the Chicago rapper and vocalist does something few artists master which is to welcome the listener to experience his world in real-time and his latest release, Good Cops Don’t Exist, achieves that feat. A prolific rapper with a Sears Tower-sized chip on his shoulder, Crack uses his unique vocal instrument – something of a mix between a sneering snarl and wisecracking conversational bent – to great effect. Much of his music works from an impulsive yet soulful space and what never slips out his reach is the memorable impression he leaves. All across Good Cops Don’t Exist, ...

The league and its players didn’t miss a step either because both games delivered when it came to competitiveness. BUT honestly, everyone was wondering exactly how social justice matters would be tackled before the start of games. Prior to tip-off of both the Pelicans vs. Jazz andLakers vs. Clippers games, during the national anthem, players, coaches, and even the officials all kneeled while locking arms in solidarity. LeBron James, who is one of the leagues ...
