The Lacs - Keep It Redneck

Label: Backroad Records
Year: 2013
Genre: Country Rap
Recommending Person: Wes Strange

I imagine this record was not put forth with the intention that it is Wes's favorite album. However, I imagine that the Lacs are just going to be the beginning of a trend that I will easily avoid in the future. 

I'm just wondering who they believe to be their inspiration. I have to imagine that some is Kid Rock, I hear a lot of it in the eponymous song "Keep It Redneck", and also some Bubba Sparxx. You may be wondering what a Lac is? According to the band members it stands for "Loud Ass Crackers". 

The most surprising thing is that there are actually a few ballad like songs on the album. I would never expect anything of the sort. Unfortunately, there are also skits. The skits on rap albums are rarely funny and The Lacs continue that hip-hop tradition. The album isn't that great, but I was expecting less than what I actually received. 

Fun Fact: Another name for Country Rap is Hick-Hop.
