Music reviews of Death of Frequent Flyer
Music Review: On The Short List {4 Stars}
Rating: 4 Stars
I'll admit it, I'm not too fond of most female rappers. I usually write them off after about one verse. It's not that I'm sexist or anything like that, but most of the time I have trouble relating to their subject matter. It's usually the mainstream rappers like Kim, Fox, Brat, Shawnna, etc... Well, after hearing Psalm One for the first time, I think it's time I rework my theory on female rappers. Her flow is on point, her topics are things I can relate to, and she's hella funny -- basically, you have to respect her talents. Her voice reminds me somewhat of Rah Digga, but with a little less bass. Her topics have more range than just jewels, sex, jerkin' dudes for their cheese, etc... And it's that very reason that I simply can't get enough of bangers like "Rapper Girls" and "Death of Frequent Flyer". She can swing from topic to topic and not miss a beat. She collaborates with Brother Ali on the solid "Standby" and rips the bouncy "Beat The Drum." Even listening to her ride the beat on "The Nine" and "Rap Star" made me crack a smile. I guess what I'm trying to say is females like Psalm One are a rare breath of fresh air. She doesn't even need the "female" qualifier, she's simply a dope emcee. Period.
As far as flaws go, there are a few joints that fall under skip material. The production on "Macaroni & Cheese" is forgettable and the disjointed "Mountain High" is pretty boring. Another problem is that the production doesn't shift gears very often. Otherwise, I think the rest of the album is great.
The Death Of Frequent Flyer is definitely one of the best releases of 2006. Not only is Psalm One on my short list of tight female rappers, she's on my short list of dope rappers, period. I recommend supporting her by adding this album to your collection. We need her around to show aspiring female rappers how it should be done. I, for one, will definitely be looking to buy her old material as well as any future releases.
Standout Tracks: Beat The Drum, The Nine, Let Me Hear, The Living, Sworn Habit, Rapper Girls (My Favorite), Standby feat. Brother Ali, Peanuts, and The Death Of Frequent Flyer feat. Thaione Davis

Description of Death of Frequent Flyer
Southside Chicago native Psalm One has been reppin? the Windy City on the mic since 1998. A cross between Lauryn Hill and Devin The Dude, Psalm stands ready to follow in the footsteps of fellow Chi-town greats Kanye West and Common, while taking her place next to up-and-comers like Lupe Fiasco. The self-proclaimed quirky B-Girl and former chemist ushers in a new breed of "Rapper Girl" with the release of her Rhymesayers debut, "The Death of Frequent Flyer." Psalm toured with People Under The Stairs in 2006.The Death of Frequent Flyer, Southside Chicago native Psalm One's second full-length, shows off the rapper's full talents. Born Christalle Bowen, Psalm One has been recording and performing since '98, both solo and as a member of the acclaimed Nacrobats. Frequent Flyer is righteous but not too preachy; her delivery's smooth while the jams are already screwed, slowed down. She can sing almost as well as she rhymes, which is always a plus. Unsurprisingly, she's more than once been called a cross between Lauryn Hill and Devin the Dude. Her work is addictive and incredibly smart, so it comes as no surprise that Psalm One is a former chemist. Frequent Flyer is easily one of the most engagingly laid-back hip-hop records of 2006. --Mike McGonigal
