{"product_id":"21-and-up","title":"21 and Up","description":"Photographer: Chad Griffith.\u003cbr\u003eSouth Carolina MC Lil Ru's serpentine path to his debut 21 \u0026amp; UP almost approaches Joe Budden levels for hardships and derailments. After label madness, uber-strip club jam \"The Nasty Song\" made the rounds for over a year as the record was pushed back further and further. Ultimately released in August 2009, the record is an interesting mess. \"Nasty,\" a bass-heavy ode to strippers' charm, is featured, but is a bit of a misleading introduction to the album (other than Ru's clear and overwhelming affection for naked women dancing in blacklit rooms). While that song is a typical apple bottom jam, catchy but cookie cutter, much of the rest of the record is practically experimental hip-hop. Ru describes his sound as a \"gumbo of crunk, snap, and other popular Southern rap styles,\" and that isn't mere Dixie whistling. Like his fellow Lil, Wayne, there are moments of pure genius.","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47440190603551,"sku":"602527115801","price":10.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/4f09aaa7a1ebccc0665b4183f9afafe6.jpg?v=1777893320","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/21-and-up","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
