B.L.E.V.E.
B.L.E.V.E. is the debut studio album by Kansas City rapper Kutt Calhoun, released on August 10, 2004[1] through the label Strange Music.[2] Among the featured artists beyond Calhoun were Krizz Kaliko, Tech N9ne, and Skatterman & Snug Brim.[3] Rap Reviews greeted the album positively, giving it a score of 7/10 and writing "Calhoun has represented his hometown [Kansas City] admirably on B.L.E.V.E. and seems on the verge of blowing up bigtime. All he needs is more exposure, a slightly tighter selection of beats, and one big video on a Viacom owned network."[4]
