The Dirtball, “Crook County”
Published 10:38 am Thursday, December 11, 2008
On his third album for big indie label Suburban Noize, Bend’s Dirtball (aka David Alexander) makes himself at home; “Crook County” features local musicians (including Alexander’s parents), the Mountain View High School jazz choir, and the rapper’s own drumming. But the star of the show, as usual, is Dirt’s rapid-fire, party-friendly rhymes, delivered with jaw-dropping precision.
