(Library Of Sound)

You know sometimes an album names itself so perfectly that I don’t even need to add anything to it. This project does indeed sound like 

‘A Library of Sound’

This is the latest album by MC M-Dot and Producer Confidence. Together this duo drops 13 tracks featuring the likes of 

– Alexander Padei

– Kore

– Big Shug

– Royal Flush

– EMS

– G-Dot 

Now, after my first few listens when talking about the production, I noticed that the producer Confidence, in keeping true to his name, dropped a heavy variation of hard-hitting, grand, and classical interpretations of Hip Hop that is sure to be having real Hip Hop Heads bumping all night long!

That intro track, for example, ‘No Bail Out’, sets the tone perfectly with the mixture of those jaw-dropping vocal samples mixed in with those classical instrumentation and old-school boom-bap feel to create the idle interlude for the album!

From there, the album only gets more creative, interesting, and dynamic with tracks like ‘Rollercoaster’ which features that short snap pattern of those robust drum loops combined with those vocal snippets in rotation to create what feels like an old-school prime ‘Common’ beat made by Kanye!

Throughout this whole album, this man finds 13 different ways to articulate, evolve, and adapt the current wave of Hip Hop sound and make it his own! I guarantee you, you won’t find sounds the way he’s making them!

Obviously, we can’t talk about this album without mentioning ‘M-Dot’, the man of the hour! This man brings that classy and dynamic production to a different universe with his rhyme patterns! He’s like a man uncaged, a man who has finally been able to let loose and a man who is most dangerous when he’s in his zone! 

I loved his verbal arrangements over this album, everything from his sharpened wordplay to his extensive vocabulary to his swagger over the beats. He’s in a class of his own and he knows it!

To me, he came across as a man who has a strong introspective mindset with a heart of fire and a will forged of steel and lyricism for days! He’s the kind of guy to have the whole room

go quiet to listen to his every word, bar and verse because of his immense articulation, artistry, and ability on the mic!

Overall, this album was the definition of DOPE, two men and company coming together for a solid, no-nonsense Hip Hop album that is sure to impress everyone who listens to it!
