Qwel? A Typical Cat? He may be a group member, but the intensity of "The Rubber Duckie Experiment", his second solo, speaks volumes on the irony of that name. His intense lyricism & skill on the mic are renowned to be among the underground?s finest. But don’t put Qwel in a category with any other MC you’ve heard. "The Duckie" speaks its message loud and clear as Qwel states in the liner notes - "It’s not gospel music - It’s revelation music". Swarming, rugged production laid down by the hands of Dwight Lightnin, Meaty Ogre, Jackson Jones, Maker & Qwelly Belly himself serve as landscape for Q’s cynical view of life as we know, or do not know it. This follows up 2001’s critically acclaimed "If It Ain’t Been In A Pawn Shop, Then It Can’t Play The Blues" LP with nuclear fallout. The fat & happy rubber duckie squeaks.
