PHILADELPHIA—After years of anticipation, rapper Rosco P. Coldchain finally released his collaborative album, Play With Something Safe, on Friday. The project, helmed by producer Nicholas Craven, marks Coldchain’s first full-length offering since his shelved Star Trak debut, Hazardous Life, in 2008. Fans who have long awaited Coldchain’s next move will finally get to hear him Play With Something Safe.
A Career of Near Misses
Coldchain, known for his gravelly voice and verbose lyrical style, first gained notoriety for his contributions to The Neptunes’ production on various tracks. Despite near-breakout moments, a major label deal never materialized. “Rosco has always been on the cusp,” stated Brenda Scholl, Director of Unreleased Projects at OmniCorp. “We believe this album will finally allow him to explore the vast potential of playing it safe.” The album features 10 tracks.
The 12-year gap between projects offered ample time for reflection. Coldchain reportedly spent considerable time perfecting his sound. He focused on avoiding any potentially challenging artistic risks. This ensured the album would be palatable to the widest possible audience. He aimed for widespread appeal.
Playing it Safe Pays Off?
Early reviews have been cautiously optimistic. Critics noted the album’s adherence to established hip-hop formulas. “It’s certainly an album,” commented music critic Gary Finklestein. “You can hear the influences. It doesn’t stray from the path. This is very much Play With Something Safe.”. The album is available on all major streaming platforms. Listeners can experience Coldchain’s safe bet now.
Coldchain himself expressed satisfaction with the final product. He felt the album perfectly captured his artistic intentions. He wanted to deliver a project that wouldn’t alienate anyone. He achieved this goal. Fans can now stream Play With Something Safe.
At press time, Coldchain announced plans for a follow-up album titled Absolutely Nothing New.
