The words "white rapper" bring one of two people to mind: Eminem or Vanilla Ice. Left in the dust is Georgia native Bubba Sparxxx. But his recent album Deliverance, with production help from Timbaland, just might have enough "spark" to make him a white rapper to remember. \nA former high school football star, Bubba Sparxxx busted onto the music scene with his first hit single "Ugly" in 2001. No one has really heard from him since, but the time off has given him time to produce a quality album.\nDeliverance is all about the beats. Any album with songs produced by Timbaland will make even the most prudent of people tap a foot. \nSongs like "Comin' Round" and "Jimmy Mathis" have a unique blend of old Southern-style harmonicas and banjos topped off with Bubba Sparxxx's dirty South rapping. His Georgia accent, comparable to the sound of Outkast's, fits perfect with the fiddle and cowbell background music.\nNot all songs on the album sound like a redneck convention of Southern rappers, though. "Like It or Not" sounds jazzy while "My Tone" has a rock feel to it. Each song on the alum has its own unique sound. \nThe resemblance to Outkast is strong. So if you're a fan of the ATL duo, Deliverance is an album that will surely stay at the front of your CD case.
