ISSUES aka Bobby Criminal

ISSUES has been featured on CT's Hot 93.7fm and KISS 95.7fm. He's the handsome, drug smuggling, hustler that your baby-mama listens to. He has toured nearly the entire East Coast, has a loyal following, and gets what he wants ??? Why you ask, because he writes hot shit and flows it effortlessly over some of the tightest home grown beats you've never had. ISSUES is currently in the studio working on his 5th full-length release, which is scheduled to drop in the spring of 2010. The album will be called, "High Pathetically Speaking." His latest album "Classy As Balls" has been getting great reviews from critics and was hailed "classic ISSUES" by his loyal following. Stay Tuned. (Jan 2010)

DISCOGRAPHY



"High Pathetically Speaking" (2010) was a fun process to make. This mixtape has a bouncy, lyrical edge to it that any hip-hop fan can enjoy. Over 40 tracks were made for this album, and it was trimmed down to a final 12 tracks, for your enjoyment.



"DJ Secret Presents: got ISSUES?" (2010) is a compilation album put together by DJ Secret. This includes a mix of ISSUES tracks from rare and unreleased, to the best of. This is volume 1.



"Classy As Balls" (2009) is an album about Life, Love, and Relationships. Its the classier side of ISSUES. If you dont like it, fuck off.



"The Fixtape" (2009) is a mixtape of street hardened, truthful tales of drug abuse with a hard hitting "Boom Bap" sound.



"F.M.L." (2009)is a joint album with fellow Connecticut emcee Willis. To sound cliche, plain and simple, this is an album for the streets.

Rehab (2008) L.P. from CT's up and coming recording artist Issues. It mixes street hardened shameless self glorification with the unlikely counterpart of self-destructiveness and dramatic story telling, all on top of a, to say the least, "cutting edge" arsenal of beats complete with samples from rock greats "Pink Floyd" and major movie classics such as "The Godfather". The beats range from epic to playful, in-your-face to thought provoking, and the lyrics are never predictable or in accordance to the style of song. In a day and age where desensitization is commonplace, Issues "Rehab" is a deviously delightful dive back to the feeling we all had the first time we saw South Park and asked ourselves; "how the hell do they get away with this sh*t?"



"NuLife: The American Dream" (2007) is a NuLife crew album. NuLife consists of emcee's ISSUES, NorthStar and Willis. This was 2007's top selling Connecticut album.

Issues is a writerhis style is his, having battled with addiction for years.he's no studio gangsta, hes no backpacker, hes not a lovesick chump he's someone that has been writing for years, and is a chameleon on the mic; you put on a party song, he'll have ya witta cup in ur hand, you wanna hear a story, he'll paint pictures like Dr. Suess. He can flip metaphors with complex vocabulary in one linethen come simple with the next. HE DOESN'T FUCK WITH THE CONNECTICUT HIP-HOP SCENE. He keeps it in the fam.NuLife
