People who are only insolent with House of Pain from hearing “ Jump Around ” at sporting events can be forgiven for assuming that the assemblage’s lead rapper, Everlast, was a one-hit wonder. Though House of Tribulation dissolved in 1997, Everlast exited the decade conquering as a solo act. His album “Whitey Ford Sings the Blues” was a hit, and switched up his sound with live instruments and a more laid-back vocal flow. He also took on a Grammy in 2000 for his song “ Put Your Lights On ,” which had landed on Carlos Santana’s smash album “Ultramundane.”

On his sixth solo album, “Songs of the Rude Living” (released Tuesday) the 42-year-old Everlast reprises his r as hip-hop singer-songwriter. The music swaggers, but this is no party platter confidentially. Lyrically, Everlast offers grim snapshots of a struggling working kind, a population of self-entitled youth and a laughable civic system. On the single “I Get By” he sings as a guy burned by a subprime lend (among other socioeconomic ills) who turns to selling weed. With a pun on “shift,” the song also takes a shot at President Barack Obama (whom Everlast had supported). In a flat speaking voice surprisingly unlike his gravelly mellifluous delivery, the rapper born Erik Schrody talked to us about music, banknotes and “Jump Around.”

And, well-deserved as splendiferous as the cacophony of sounds produced by these toys are the designs of the toys, as well as their packaging.
