We got a legend in the house! A man who has spent over three decades in this shit producing some of your favourite albums of all time, and now he’s back to re claim his position as OG Kingpin of this rap game! Let’s go!
So, this is the latest album by The Legendary Traxster, and on this one, he’s the MC and the producer! And with only Tia London as a feature, he’s claiming all 14 songs and the credit for himself, proving to everyone why he’s the top dog around here!
Starting with the production, the aspect that everyone knows will be flawless from his decades of experience. Whether that be from Twista or Do Or Die or any of the other powerhouses he’s worked alongside! And on this record, we hear Traxster bring his prime-level quality and consistency to the beats unlike anyone else can.
Across this album, we have a combination of classical, groovy, and old-school hip hop that comes together in the most perfect mix you could ask for!
The way he’s able to utilise vocal samples and those soulful, smooth, and orchestral sounds and elements is truly extraordinary. There’s no break or flaw in his composition or mix, and mastering it just all flows so effortlessly and beautifully that it definitely outshines 95% of the music coming out this year!
On every single track, you can hear the instruments pop. You can hear the masterful technique and exquisite atmosphere created when he’s done amplifying the score and creating a hip-hop soundtrack that is cinema-level. The heavy bass lines, the delicate piano keys, and those gorgeous notes— it’s all paired with the utmost love and respect for the game that only a goat in the industry could pull off! Can’t praise this production enough!
Now, onto the MC side of things. Just as legendary as his production, so goes his rapping. He’s putting all MC’s on notice by showing them how the job should be done!
When he’s on the mic, he comes through with the methodical pace and approach where every word and sentence can be felt, and every breath matters to the overall story of the song! There’s never a wasted moment when he’s spitting bars.
He has a deep and powerful tone, accompanied by a precise flow and killer lyricism that provides a conceptual effort across the whole album, with every song telling its own short stories and making you feel like you’re there in person in every scenario he’s talking about.
The fact he didn’t incorporate any features just makes this record stand out even further as a showcase of how a true artist handles and operates across a project! He’s already one of the greatest producers of all time; he’s here to steal the rappers’ day job too!
As expected, a fantastic album front to back. No skips, no filler, no bullshit. Just 32 minutes of heat! You definitely have to check it out!
