CD Review by Jala

        Only one word can describe Marc Marcel 3 Days and Waiting CD: FIRE!  All the tracks are hot!  So, where can I begin?  3 Days and Waiting was released under the name of QwaZim, Marc's middle name and his original stage name.  He was introduced to the poetry world as Marc Marcel purely by accident.  He vowed one day he would put out a product under the name of QwaZim and finally he did.  We all should feel so honored.

        Unfortunately, not all poets were blessed with the gift of battling, and not all poets are what we call "Fire Poets.”  Nevertheless, track 18, “QwaZim vs. Marc Marcel”, proves how talented this brotha is. It takes major skills to battle against yourself and win.  I don't know who I was feeling more—Marc or QwaZim.

        "I Wanna Drive" is another one my personal favorites.  This piece gives a new meaning to the idea of being dedicate to your craft.  Every word that flows from this poem truly expresses how QwaZim loves his art—inhaling and exhaling poetry.  His words are a gift to every soul that has ever been lost and tormented.

        Not everyone can handle the truth and the truth can be very ugly; so if you can't handle the heat, stay out the kitchen.  Marc apparently isn’t afraid of the flames as he gives a heavy dosage of truth serum with track 13 “Masturbate” and track 15 “Attitude Problems.”

        But don’t forget about “4 Minutes @ the Hairdresser”, a track that will definitely make every woman fall in love with Marc for his passionate words; but at the same time, this track will cause those same ladies to reevaluate while taking a closer look in the mirror.  Then "Classic Love Song" will definitely have you fantasizing about things I can't describe in this review, but ladies trust me when I say you will love track seven. It will leave you wishing you could be that song.

        QwaZim's CD covers every topic: from missing children, politics, God and even reincarnation. This is one CD that you absolutely have to have. You can purchase this CD from Marc at any venue where he is performing. You can also purchase his previous CDs, Gun Powder and Never Look Back, and his book “Saint Thomas” from www.marcmarcel.com.  

        So you’d better check this brotha out—and soon—because, in the famous words of Marc Marcel, "Thats what's up, suga."
