So far he has the tools vocally, and pockets a flow as well as c L smooth.
Which means vocally this artist is almost near excellent and you can hear an attention and attempt to be a great vocal artist in rap. So that is a positive of listening to this material overall as a listen. In an era where there is no attention to this overall vocal quality.
Yet suffers from the same attention to detail rhyme wise and supplies no technical skill to and it loses any ill factor on the break. Which kinda locks it into the nostalgia arena and the confines of that flow style era is.
if you never take any real care technical skill wise on the break. If he produces enough of a draw somehow to get larger features in other genres. The different bpm's will expose this and it will result in a full exposal outing for this artist when asked to do larger work. As far as nostalgia pieces it works longplayer wise, as a listen.
to extend the series of records that were made in the sweet spot of cl smooth produced pete rock.
So someone looking for more rock and cl in their shortened. we would later find out strained relationship only produced an ep and two LP based moments that feature the classic troy. [if i remember exactly right, it has been almost twenty five years since I first heard of Pete rock pardon me I don't wanna google to fact check this,...brain fart possibly]
Which is the overall series vibe of records this LP spawns off of. Which it does a good job of. Yet, if this artist wants to move to larger arenas to draw as a headliner. He will have to upgrade his technical base to get a higher ill factor on the breaks. To keep a listeners attention outside the realm of being a nostalgia based act.
As this style of rap does not resonate and has a disconnect with younger listeners.
who will not waver on their listening choices and eventually this reaches the inevitable cross road as a draw. Which is where this technical issue will have to be addressed and should.
as it would aid in a return listeners
re-investing in later projects although confined to a nostalgia period act.
