Van Gogh [PA] by Ras Kass (CD, Dec-2001, Priority Records USA)

Ah, Van Gogh... the long lost project from hip-hop's #1 man on the run... Ras Kass. This album was supposed to be a full-fledged release on Priority Records and was supposed to further solidify Ras' status in the game following his amazing releases "Soul On Ice" and "Rasassination", but with legal problems brewing and label disputes running wild, Ras had to hit the road and this project got shelved. Luckily, as with most 'lost' music, this one slipped through the cracks and can be found here and there now if you really look hard. Don't expect to find it on vinyl because it was never pressed as an official album, but this release definitely has some good tracks on it for true Ras Kass fans out there. A solid 4 out of 5!!
