How the Music Critic Score works
Kenna's biggest problem, disregarding the multiple delays that accompany his releases -- although the two may be related -- is how to categorize his music, and therefore, how to market it. His debut, New Sacred Cow, was dropped from Interscope before being picked up by Columbia, and was a hodgepodge of hip-hop beats and synthesized pop riffs, propelled by the production efforts of the Neptunes' Chad Hugo, Kenna's friend since high school. And though the critical reception to the project was warm enough, sales were low and Kenna was sent on his way, labelless.
