  1. The narrative matters on this album, and as always, newcomers should hear Dennehy first. But Cohn is one of a kind, and he don't stop.

    Taken together, the 11 tracks on Kenny Dennis feel like chapters, and combine to create a work as accomplished--and entertaining--as a well-imagined graphic novel or confidently told short story.

    More memorable are the tracks where Serengeti simply inhabits the role and goes the direction it takes him.

    Kenny Dennis is definitely a type, but he's a type that feels real enough to want to hang out with, even during his downer moments.

    The Kenny Dennis LP will reward those who are already familiar with Dennis’s backstory and Serengeti’s previous releases. Although this makes it somewhat exclusive, you can read the character’s biography before diving in.

    The Kenny Dennis LP is an intriguing piece of character led alt-hip hop. It will baffle some, but if you stick with it the reward for your patience is Serengeti’s keenly observed portrayal of an enigmatic, idiosyncratic and ultimately charming character.

    [Cohn reprises] his thick, often indecipherable Midwestern accent, but with spot-on timing and flashes of surreal wordplay. [Aug 2013, p.104]
