(The Final Call)

After Ransom’s strong start to 2025 with ‘Cabrini Green’, he’s back again this time with household name Dave East, and together they make this album ‘The Final Call’, so let’s talk about it!

10 tracks with a 37-minute run time. This project has a handful of features such as:

-Jay Electronica

-Method Man

-22Gz

-Abby Jasmine

-Jadin Alexander 

Obviously, a world-class list of names, and on the production equally so with the likes of: 

-Vdonsoundz

-MadeInTyo

-Bernard B.W

-The Real Prophecy

-Flashy Sunrise

All these high-class names bring with them their trademark larger-than-life, high-class production style, and it sounds better and more lively than ever.

From the opening track ‘AUDUBON BALLROOM’, with that melodic and somber soul feel, we hear the direction the album is trying to convey, and I absolutely love it!

The fusion of the various sounds and inspirations is masterly done on this, then I’ve heard in a minute! We have so many different styles such as:

-Soul

-RnB

-Hip Hop

-Ambient

-New Jack Swing influence, and the fact that each track is crafted so colourfully and vibrantly makes me so happy to hear. Each track sounds cinema-quality and fits the bars so well, you can tell each producer on deck didn’t take their roles lightly for this album and made sure to give the very best of themselves, and I respect them heavily for that!

Now, when you have two powerhouses on the track such as Ransom and Dave East, you would expect nothing less than the best, and that’s exactly what they give of themselves! Putting to the side for now the A+ list guest list accompanying them, this duo has some of the best chemistry you could ask for. 

The bar switching is smooth, the aura is strong with both, and they both provide strong lyricism and penmanship on the tracks. Not only that, they stand toe to toe with some of the hardest rappers out, such as Method Man and Jay Electronica.

Overall, it’s no surprise that this album turned out as dope as this is. The production is soothing and flawless, and the rapping is top-notch and up there with some of the best out! Fantastic duo and fantastic album! Don’t miss out!
