Once again, I find myself returning to Len-Dor, the man whose EP I just covered not even 24 hours ago, but with an album that previously dropped before that one, I had to see what it was all about, so here we are!
This is the latest collaboration project between Len-Dor and producer Pro Logic. Together, they release 10 tracks with features from
-Shua James
-Fraction
-Shark the S.O.B.
-Righteous
-Dox the Doctrine
Now, what’s cool about this album is it’s Len’s production debut on tracks ‘Love’ and ‘The Score’, so the opening and finale tracks, and I gotta say I was surprised with the sound trajectory after coming from the EP as it was my only exposure to his latest; that’s the results I pictured, but I was wrong!
This album features absolutely slick, smooth, and sensual instrumentation with luscious notes, rich chords, and deep notes that make it feel like a soulful or funk listening experience fused with that traditional hip-hop blueprints to combine to make a record that’s groovy on the outside but crisp and raw on the inside. The best of both worlds!
Considering this is his first time producing, he does a bangin’ job! The album starts and ends in a great way and shows off his capabilities as a beat maker! It’s not bad or awkward or sticks out in any way compared to Pro’s work, so that’s definitely a plus in my book!
Once again, on the MC front, he kills it! He comes packed with that witty wordplay, that surreal/introspective lyricism, and his fluent flow that could make the waves in a river jealous! Smooth as butter.
Whether he’s on smooth tracks or experimental ones, his skill on the mic and his solid enthusiasm and passion for the game remain the same! He doesn’t miss a beat; you’ll never catch the man staggering or losing his rhythm; he’s got his feet planted in the beats, mind on his words, and his soul in the music.
As mentioned above, he ain’t alone this time, and the people he recruited do a wonderful job at maintaining the pace and energy of the record and providing great chemistry with Len-Dor, which gives the listener quality and entertaining back-and-forths on the track!
Another solid front by the main man. Whether you want to talk about the production, the features, or the bars by Len-Dor, each aspect was done with mastery and technique, and I gotta respect all of it!
