Serengeti
Noticeably Negro
2007

Noticeably Negro is Serengeti's charismatic abstractions, wry storytelling and observations on racial identity and society. It's a new direction for Serengeti; while still excelling at infectious tunes like "Bubble Bath" he has moved into more spacey beatscapes like "Bubble's Place". Long-time Geti collaborator Midas Wells crafted the melodic, gritty beats that ground Helias' echoing Atari-esque scratches. Serengeti is joined on the mic by MF Grimm, Juice and others. This is as "underground rap" as Serengeti gets, crunchy and lo fi with the Getiking swaggering on the mic like a postmodern bard drunk on TV and raw deals.

"Serengeti builds his verses on descriptions, similes, and seemingly random cultural references, an amalgam that straddles the line between subconscious connections and utter incoherence."

"through weird rhymes, odd rapping cadence, and brutal honesty, [Serengeti] is propagating his uniqueness every slighted glance of the way."

"abstract connotations and spaced out sonic landscapes, following a more underground blueprint than the pop orientated mainstream rap of today."
