Kool Keith - Tashan Dorrsett

Tashan Dorrsett is Kool Keith’s freshest alias in a long list of pseudonyms.

This album is a departure from his better known sci-fi and fantasy-oriented characters like Octagon and Dooom, and instead offers up a gritty Bronx reality show, starring Tashan as the antihero, the concept described by Keith in his own words : “Tashan Dorrsett is the reality person from New York City with an image of being real and regular, dealing with daily life situations. The essence of urban living to its all time fullest, block after block, the brick buildings, the hot sun... Areas and struggles of the ghetto I myself walked and experienced. You can't live it through television, you have to walk out and touch it like I've done for years. To all the areas that many people will not visit, I will constantly.”

The album is entirely produced by DJ Junkaz Lou, who has worked closely with Keith in the past, as well as with Kutmasta Kurt, Marc Live, Mr. Sche and Tim Dog. His production style augments Keith’s lyric well, a sinister edge complementing the day to day events relayed by Tashan Dorrsett.
