I'm a huge Phonte/FE stan but their sound has grown stale to me over the past year or so.
I was really disappointed in Nicolay's latest City Lights album. I only enjoyed half of the album. I don't know what happened. I have revisited CSAH and that album didn't hold up for me. I'll wait on more concerned to let me know the temperature of the rap album. I have less than 10% interest in it/ Phonte at this point.
The singing stuff is cool but since they can't seem to touch (want to touch) that LIAB sound, it ain't for me. I know, I know, they don't want to do the same thing twice etc. etc., I don't care. I want music I can groove to and the recent material isn't hitting.
