This is the much hyped debut from former Hollywood Undead vocalist Deuce. The split with Undead was ugly with both sides telling the tale differently. The ex-frontman recorded his solo effort in late 2011 and the end result is "Nine Lives", an album less rapcore and more hip-hop. I think I liked the pairing with Undead more with the metallic delivery yet this debut still has quality songs like "Let's Get It Crackin'" and the addictive rocker "America". Lets hope Deuce gets more strings and distortion next time.
