DESCRIPTION
Worth The Wait is where Carnage The Executioner, gives the listener a piece of THE PERSON he is and not just the ARTIST he has become. Tales of his wretched childhood upbringing, brutal honesty, and dark imagery pilot this album. The Executioner employs a dense, slightly heavy-metal backdrop to display his shocking lyrical wizardry over. Highly praised by local writers upon its release in 2011, Worth The Wait sets the tone for the sincere, honest and multi-skilled Carnage The Executioner you’re able to experience today.

REVIEW
“…Found no English word I could’t rhyme.” So boasts the veteran rapper at the start of his newest, long-overdue full-length album. By the end of its 13 adrenaline-flooded songs (think: Public Enemy on gallons of black coffee), you’ll believe just about anything he says. The so-called Executioner comes off as superhuman in songs like “Darken” and “I Want It All,” with his rapid-fire flow, clever but rarely cutesy wordplay, and sheer tirelessness — not to mention the stark glimpses he offers of his troubled childhood, which few mortals could survive so well. He barely even shows off his famous beat-boxing skills. That’s because he’s too busy proving he should instead be known as maybe the most skillful emcee in Minnesota. — Chris Reimenschneider (Minneapolis Star Tribune)
