It's Cold Out Here opens with floating airy chords and affirmations to "open eyes" to the fact that "we need love." But the CD soon comes down to the streets for a cool beat mix and Geraty's skilled raps. A good emcee has impeccable rhythm, coordinated enunciation, and something meaningful to enunciate. Geraty is a crafty social commentator with a gospel perspective and a talent for purposed prose. Many of his subjects are earth-y and troubling, but Geraty's take on them is kingdom-y. The record's music and stories are compelling and bouncy. Some songs are weighty, some are light, practically all are interesting and satisfying. Even a good thing can wear thin, however, and twenty tracks may be a bit too long for this project. Mostly a strong effort.
