The Only Solution
The Only Solution is the fifth album by Cold 187um and his first and only album for Psychopathic Records. Released on October 22, 2012, it is a concept album, focusing on the story of a hired killer, the "Psychopathic Assassin", as he performs his job and pursues revenge against his uncle, Black Swan, who had murdered the Assassin's father.
In 2009, Cold 187 um was invited to perform at the Gathering of the Juggalos, but because of his mother's cancer, he declined the offer. However, he later agreed to develop a project with Insane Clown Posse's Violent J. After releasing Only God Can Judge Me on another label, Violent J proposed that Psychopathic Records release their project, and Cold 187 um agreed to tour with Insane Clown Posse and Twiztid to promote the project.
Psychopathic wanted to develop an album that would combine the talents of Cold 187 um and Psychopathic in a way that would appeal to Juggalos, the label's fanbase, and establish the rapper to their audience, as he was well known for his efforts in gangsta rap, but not previously established to Juggalos.
Additionally, Cold 187 um felt that in order to sign with Psychopathic, he had to create material that would be different from what he produced for his own label, West World Records. During the tour, Cold 187 um and Violent J created the character of a hired killer, and developed the concept of the album as a long-form story. After the tour, it was officially announced that Cold 187 um had signed with Psychopathic.
The Only Solution is a concept album which tells the story of an assassin as he develops from a young boy into a hired killer, the "Psychopathic Assassin", who is hired by "The Company" whenever someone "needs to be taken care of". It is prepackaged with a comic book that corresponds with the album's story. Within the storyline, the album's character is identified as "Cold 187um" and "Hutch".
The story begins with Hutch being brought into the business by his father and uncle, who brought Hutch along during "hits" because the targets are more vulnerable when a child is present. Hutch commits his first assassination at the age of 10. At the height of their success, Hutch's uncle, Black Swan, murders his brother out of greed, and Hutch swears to avenge his father by seeking revenge against Black Swan.
The rest of the album's storyline focuses on Cold 187 um in the present day as he performs assassinations of several people, including Father Duckets, a greedy, corrupt preacher, Willie Brosco, who stole money from Cold 187 um's employers, Larry Longhorn, a corrupt judge who proclaims excessive sentences to the plaintiffs that face him, three despicable criminal brothers, and the corrupt Senator Jones, as well as pursuing Black Swan and seeking revenge for his father. The album's storyline concludes with the Psychopathic Assassin's son stating that he is happy as long he is alive and free, a sharp contrast from the Assassin's view that the world is "dangerous" and "full of snakes".
While developing the album, Cold 187 um hand selected instrumentals from 12 previously released songs by Psychopathic artists, including Dark Lotus, Anybody Killa, Twiztid, Blaze Ya Dead Homie and Insane Clown Posse, on the basis of which instrumentals would be appropriate for story-based songs which would form an album-length storyline. Official promotional materials termed the album a "deluxe mixtape" on the basis of this production style. The album's storyline was developed by Violent J, and Cold 187 um wrote all of the lyrics based on this story.
