Chicago rapper Rhymefest will release Fever on 10th July - the follow-up to debut single Brand New released in February this year.
Produced by No-I.D, Fever is a scorching single that features a high-pitched Spanish senorita singing the classic Peggy Lee line �You Give Me Fever�. With its catchy hip hop beat, strong ascending trumpet hook and loaded witty lyrics, Fever is set to be a hip hop anthem for the summer.
The self-confessed �wacktose intolerant� MC made his mark in the hip hop world for co-writing rap song of the year Jesus Walks with Kanye West; for which he won a Grammy. Grinding on the scene since the age of seventeen, he has also built a reputation as one of the mightiest mouths in Chi-Town with his sharp-tongue and infamous Eminem battles. Who won? Rhymefest, of course.
His long-awaited debut album Blue Collar is set for release this July and features collaborations with the likes of Mario, Carl Thomas and the late Old Dirty Bastard � the latter on Build Me Up which is a hilarious ghetto take on The Foundations Build Me Up Buttercup and is sure to set a few hearts alight.
Blue Collar produced by both DJ/producer Mark Ronson and No-I.D is one of the albums to watch out for in 2006. Known for his sharp wit and gritty sense of humour, Rhymefest�s fresh approach sets him apart and brings a new vibe to the hip hop world.
�The entire concept behind my project is to fight the wackness that rap has become,� he says �There are enough people trying to be gangsters without me going that route. What we need right now are rappers who are entertaining.�
Rhymefest is certainly that. The single Fever is released on July 10th followed by the album Blue Collar on July 17th.
