M.C. Ren (born Lorenzo Patterson) joined
the list of NWA members gone solo in 1992 with Kizz My
Black Azz. It peaked at number 12 and eventually went
platinum despite being thoroughly unplayable on even the
most underground radio station. The follow-up Shock of
the Hour briefly topped the pop charts, but didn't have
lasting power. On both releases, Ren has showed
surprising facility and fluidity as a rapper, but the
rhymes haven't been anything special though, nor the
beats. MC Ren's third solo album, The Villain In Black, appeared in the spring of 1996; it disappeared from the charts shortly after its release. -- Ron Wynn |
