Gripping vocals, shredding lyrics and a hugely controversial single are the meat and potatoes of Tiffany Cheri Price’s debut effort, Against Da Media. A melodic, compelling R&B/Hip Hop album capable of leaving fans shaking, guys with their jaws on the floor, housewives quivering, and hip hop-kids feeling hip for a second or two, Against Da Media is as pure and emotional as it gets. With songs of joy, pain, struggle and triumph, Tiffany Cheri Price is able to combine the rawness of Mary J. Blige along with the sounds of Keisha Cole. All while crafting a tightly produced, hook-laden R&B album appealing to indie, R&B, and Hip Hop fans alike. To put it another way, Tiffany Cheri Price’s Against Da Media takes you to a time when the bling has ended and real life begins. The premises has been vacated, and you’re left to clean up the mess, wondering how you ended up in this situation, reminiscing of how you need Betta Dayz to help in a crazy world, and how life doesn’t seem to be coming up roses at the moment. Though, even with a dark, moody atmosphere looming overhead, a bit of sunshine cracks through the clouds and promises that tomorrow might, just maybe, be a bit better. And the day after that may find you shaking the dust off and picking yourself right back up. Here is an album that hides the optimism, but has plenty of it. This is the album you always crave after the dark times seem to be setting in. This is the genius of Newark, New Jersey’s Tiffany Cheri Price who now resides in Atlanta, Georgia which has always been her second home for over a decade. <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/Tiffany+Cheri+Price">Read more on Last.fm</a>.
