Allentown, PA, USA

Basically, Gerardo is a stiff rapper and his cadence is reminiscent of the genre's infancy.

Once you’ve heard his hit, “Rico Suave," you've heard everything Gerardo has to say.

Contagious, radio-ready hooks and insinuating grooves compensate for occasionally clichéd lyrical content.

While the rhythms and samples are disturbingly similar to Gerardo's first disc, his lyrics – almost all based on his experience a as male sex symbol – are hilarious.

To his dubious credit, Gerardo keeps things at a numskull level, reaching his low with "Here Kitty Kitty," in which he equates women with felines.
