Mor-D Cash rakes in the Gs with new Canuckin’ album

Rider’s street cred has just gone up.

After a two-year hiatus from the world of music production (because of the planning and overseeing of Rider’s reconstruction), President Mor-D Cash has returned to his hip-hop roots and completed his epic EP, Canuck Yo’self.

Canuck Yo’self drops on Thirsty Thursday, April 20, and will blur the lines and change the definition of the modern rap album. It has industry insiders abuzz to be the next big thing. Mor-D Cash gets more props for his masterpiece of an EP than Jermaine Dupree got when he was dating Janet Jackson.

And the mad crazy Canuck gives respect where respect is deserved. Canuck Yo’self includes a version of “Ice Ice Baby” in tribute of pioneer and rap demigod Vanilla Ice. However, Mor-D Cash refused to stain his hands with any cover or sample like P. Diddy did. This version of “Ice Ice Baby” has him spitting brand new lyrics like “You kids paid for my bling, your tuition is around my neck/Aint nothing but a G thing, so write Rider another check” and the chorus screams “the more money students pay, the more problems the school has.”

Despite his name, demeanor and position at an expensive private school, Mor-D isn’t all about the cash. He lets out his true feelings about the hip-hop world, and his views cut like a sharp icicle. In the song entitled “Mean Streets of MTL,” all about Montreal, he puts the ATL and LA gangsters in their place. “They be cryin’ bout running from the po-po/Try running in boots and a scarf through the snow-snow.”

One song does stand out above the rest on Canuck Yo’self. The masterpiece is bound to be the first single and will soon dominate the WRRC charts. “Eh to the Izzo” has been pinpointed by every rap mogul from Russell Simmons to Rick Ruben to Suge Knight to be DA SONG of the summer. “Eh to the Izzo” will show P. Diddy, Eminem, Jay-Z and Lil Jon how a rap single can really bring down the house. With rhymes like “Touch my ice and I be up in yo’ grill/I’m a crazy-a$$ mountie/You know I’m fo’ real,” it is bound to be the anthem of 2006.

Among beats that will make your head spin, Mor-D Cash’s words hit you harder than your pimp does when you don’t choke up his money. “Drop it like it’s Freezing” is an ode to the poor Canadians who suffer through cold nights in the ghettos of Toronto. The song might have a cold theme, but the impression it leaves will burn through your soul faster than a crack pipe. It really makes you feel for all those young single mothers, who have hungry babies lying on the floor, and were forced to turn to a dark life of curling for extra money to get by.

Canuck Yo’self even shows off Mor-D Cash’s soft side. The last track finishes off the EP as a slow love ballad. Flava Flav, Star of VH1’s Flavor of Love, was instrumental in helping Mor-D Cash get his true feelings out. The ballad is entitled “Smoking Canadian Bacon” but isn’t at all about the meat. The R&B love song seems to recount the tale of a special lady who left Mor-D Cash. In a sensual voice, the Canuck sings about how “her booty knocked you down harder than Niagara Falls.” The last song of Canuck Yo’self goes even deeper into Mor-D Cash’s heart, explaining how his former love gave him a “slapshot to the heart” and got “freezing cold feet before leaving him.”

The album is the most complete compilation of rap styling ever seen by the American public. The 411 is Canuck Yo’self will do to Canada what “Nuthin but a G Thang” did to California and “Who is Mike Jones” did to Houston. Just buy the Canuckin’ album! Mor-D Cash wants a new basketball arena and maybe even a Ziggurat.
