i met citizen cope outside the old 930 club in dc about 8 years ago. he gave me a cd. it was good. i saw him playing in the backroom of some dive bar down the street from me a couple months later and he was intense. then i forgot about him. until i saw his name headlining a show at the Ramshead Tavern in Annapolis recently. i was suprised to see his name. i went. i was mesmorized. speechless for the entire set. i bought his cd at the show. i can't stop playing it. its in my car. i keep driving past my destinations because i don't want to stop listening. its real good stuff. its got a lot of feeling. like i said before, and let me say it one more time, its real good stuff. check out this guy play if the opportunity arises. i'm buying a few more copies to send to some friends to spread the word. he's got another cd coming out in september. i'll be first in line to get it. and keep driving.

I first heard Citizen Cope through an AMV and the song was Appetite. When I found his CD (The only copy at Best Buy, Ever)I bought it and when I listened to it, I realized that I had just bought the greatest CD ever. Citizen Cope is some seriously soulful music. He means every word he sings. And Salvation is just damn good. If you like or hate anything, it doesn't matter, buy this CD. It is beyond good.

I give it 5 hookahs! This CD is a rarity, in that every single person I've played it for has enjoyed it, and I can still play it a year later. It is conducive to laid-back conversation, with its low-profile blend of funk, blues, jazz, R&B, hip-hop (and on and on)... Citizen Cope is magic music. The tracks do not scream "Look at me! Listen to me!" but, rather, "Look at You. Listen to You."

Growing up in the maryland city of baltimore, you encounter A LOT of gooood local music, whether it be soul, freestyle, ska, alternative, punk, or the ever famous baltimore reggae scene. With all of this, our own Citizen Cope has succesfully tackled almost all of the genres he's marinated in, living in baltimore. He was first heard on WHFS, a local station in Maryland, and upon hearing him myself, i KNEW i had to buy the CD. I just want to thank the record lable that gave this guy a chance. He has a lot to say about the hardships one faces growing up in the rougher side of the city, and thanks, Cope for the Pimlico reference (even though it was addressed in a story about a man abusing drugs and caught up in the gambling scene) Much love to our "local yocal" Citizen Cope. I suggest that anyone buy this record, who knows maybe youll learn a little bit about our lovely city of B'more!!! Big up!
