(RESIN)

It’s always exciting to be able to discover a new artist, and in this case, it’s a new duo featuring the likes of rapper ‘ANWAR HighSign’ and ‘DR QUANDRY’ on production. Together, they make ‘The Fortunate Ones’, so let’s get into it!

This is a 10-track record, and from the first song ‘Glue’, you could hear how intricate and unique this project was going to be. The production done by ‘Dr Quandry’ is as captivating as it is original. There are so many elements involved, such as:

-Ambient

-Soft Rock

-Lo-Fi

-Hip Hop

-Soul

-Jazz 

And with all these influences coming together to make a project that’s equally smooth, beautifully soft in nature, and vibrant in aesthetic. Each new instrumental that I heard had me feeling that much more at peace, relaxed, and happy. Not in the sense of ‘boring’ or elevator music type but more slow and steady with elegant elements to make this record feel purely angelic. 

In the rapping side of things, ‘Anwar’ complements that beautiful production with his own soft-spoken yet engaging cadence within his voice. His penmanship is strong, his flow is immaculate, the way he can spin his bars with ease and grace that very few people can match.

He sounds like he’s one with the beats, as if he’s closed his eyes and letting his soul and heart speak for him, and it’s an absolute treat to witness.

This level of collaboration is rare to find these days. To have such chemistry, fusion, and synergy is unbelievable. You couldn’t find a better mix of people if you tried. This is the kind of album you’d play if you wanted to have an out-of-body experience or help relax yourself after a stressful day. 

As this record combines the elements of Smooth with elevation to help produce this one-of-a-kind album that I can guarantee wouldn’t be replicated anytime soon!
