Seattle rap legend Sir Mix-A-Lot has returned to the rap game with Daddy’s Home and a considerably more mature attitude. Mix-A-Lot, best known for his crossover hit "Baby Got Back," has been branded a "one hit wonder" by many mainstream outlets, but as those from an older generation will recall, the rapper had success with his releases before and after "Baby Got Back." With early influential releases like "Swass," "My Posse’s On Broadway" and "My Hooptie," Daddy’s Home is Mix-A-Lot’s sixth album, the first the rapper has released in six years. "I grew up. I’m still funny on some of the tracks, but at the same time, I didn’t want to make a record and be talking about 15 cars and who has the biggest d*ck," Mix-A-Lot told the Seattle Weekly. On this album, the rapper says that he updated his skills. "Guys that are still like ‘I-like-big-butts-and-I-cannot-lie,’ it’s like, g######, there are some guys still doing that. When I did it in ’92, it was sarcastic—it sounded old then." The rapper is also expanding into other genre’s of music. He recently collaborated with rockers President’s Of The United States of America on a yet to be released album titled Subset and is producing various rap and rock acts from the Seattle area.
