BEATS
> A white rapper who acts white Years of listening to rap music produced HOT KARL, suburban America and HipHop\'s bastard child.
> When HipHop began its attack on mainstream culture in the mid80s, it started to influence kids for whom the music was never intended. Shows like Yo MTV Raps and national tours from RUN DMC brought rap music to uncharted territories never thought of during its birth on the streets of New York. This is when the suburbs discovered rap music. And so did Hot Karl.
> His debut, \'Your Housekeeper Hates You\', included appearances by REDMAN, DJ QUIK, FABULOUS, KANYE WEST, MYA, SUGAR RAY and DJ CLUE. Once INTERSCOPE informed Karl that his CD could not be commercially released due to \"scheduling conflicts\" and alleged complaints from another rapper on the label, Karl asked for his immediate release.
> We now find Hot Karl preparing for the 2005 release of his debut album, \'The Great Escape\'. Karl has succeeded in creatively combining his upbringing in the affluent suburbs of L.A. with the rap music he grew up listening to.
> While Karl draws influence from rap music, \'The Great Escape\' is a pop album that was built on the postmodern concept of appropriation. Karl has taken the witty wordplay, social commentary, humor, and irony of rap music and interpreted it in the context of the suburbs.
> \'The Great Escape\' features guest appearances by MC SERCH (3RD BASS), REGGIE WATTS (MAKTUB) and ALI ABNORMAL plus production from 9TH WONDER, SHE WANTS REVENGE (JUSTIN WARFIELD and ADAM 12), ALI DEE, MAYRU and JAMEY STAUB.
