A8021
Serengeti
Dennehy (Lights, Camera, Action!)
2008



 		buy from itunes buy from emusic
Back in 2006, Serengeti released the album Dennehy on another imprint. However, the production of the album did not remain true to the rapper's concept. It was marred by missing tracks, had tracks that did not even belong on the album, and to top it off the order of the tracks was incorrect. In the re-release, we follow the lives of the characters as they grow and find meaning in the least likely of relationships. Serengeti's musical glows with the humor of a John Hughes film based in a working class Chicago beset by drugs, class and racism.


Based on the original screenplay written by Serengeti, the 2008 re-release of the Dennehy. album recasts the songs and characters into a surreal hip-hop musical (a la A Prince Among Thieves). It features the quintessential Chicagoan Kenny, the Emo Kid, and the stories that inspired the album’s cult following. Including seven previously unreleased songs, new skits, as well as re-mixed and re-mastered versions of the original songs, this is Serengeti's definitive vision of the album.

WhatUpThough
"His storytelling on this album is amazing albeit ridiculous, with an attention to detail and pop culture (most notably Chicago sports figures) that is equally incredible and comical..."

Eardrums Shall Fail
"The album coalesces a big chunk of Chicagoan reality, fictional emo kids, ignored youth, stringing them and their quirky stories together in a vivid representation of the times we call modern."

Impose Magazine
"unflinching in its frank depiction of adolescence, strained relationships, and class differences. ...should earn Serengeti folk hero status within hip-hop’s underground a la M.F. Doom."
