88 Keys "the death of adam" album (DAPP News)





























The Death of Adam is the debut album by producer and rapper 88-Keys. The album is scheduled to be released November 11, 2008. In addition to Kanye West, The Death of Adam features Kid Cudi, J*Davey, Redman, Bilal, Phonte of Little Brother, and alternative rock group Shitake Monkey. The whole album is narrated and DJ'ed by 88, he takes you play by play and inside the twisted mind of the author of this hilarious and brilliant concept album.

"The entire album is about the power of the punani, if you will. The album follows the story line of my man Adam who passed away and basically how he died. It all started off with him catching a boner one morning, morning wood, and his life starts to spin out of control from there"

“I thought, “What gives me pleasure?” So I thought, Polo clothes, blue label of course, give me pleasure, when I’m out coppin’. Making beats bring me pleasure. Money. I’m like, “Boom! I know what gives me pleasure! Pussy!” So as soon as that thought came into my head, I’m like, “Okay. I’m scrapping all the other beats I had made for my album so far, and I’m starting with this one. This is the first beat for my album.” And I just stayed on it.”

The albums lead single, "Stay Up! (Viagra)", features 88’s best friend and executive producer of the project, Kanye West. In a recent interview 88' stated that despite his friendship with Kanye West he never explicitly asked Kayne to get involved with his project:

"I really didn’t approach him at all. Him and I, we’re best friends, so he’s kinda been there almost every step of the way. So just me playing him the album, he was diggin’ it a lot. He liked it a lot. He definitely brought something to the table as far as the story line is concerned. He actually helped me rewrite the story, trim the fat off the album and then he gave the story a brand new twist ending that was so genius."
