(Spanish Moss)

I can’t lie, this is an album I didn’t know was coming but one that’s got me completely hyped? Why? Because this man is one of the most eccentric and incredible beat makers I’ve heard in a minute! 

One that never ceases to push the boundaries and let his creative side fly, and on this record, he reaches new heights! Let’s talk about it!

This is the brand new album by producer AbbotJackson. Across this new project, he comes packed with 15 new tracks, 34 minutes of run time, and the likes of 

– Jared Archdeacon 

– Red Amandala

– Ian Mitchell

– Yahezkul Fanfan

And with this incredible roster of men, we have a tape that’s equal parts smooth and angelic and also mesmerising and powerful!

The production is the main focus point on this record as we have 13 of the 15 tracks as pure instrumental tracks, and they hit harder than most tracks WITH MC’s on it. 

What he does here is highlight and bring forth aspects such as

– Soul

– Funk

– Jazz

– RnB

– Hip Hop

– Ambient

– Spanish Guitar

All together into a holy matrimony of sounds, samples, influences, and cuts to create a divine album that is sure to take your mind and heart away into a dreamland where stress and problems don’t exist!

This album feels like a continuously flowing river that never breaks course. It’s a fluent score of harmonic beats and delicate instrumentation that will keep your mind stimulated and your breath taken away!

I actually found it hard to write this because every time I went back to listen (for review’s sake), I found myself re-captured in the album’s bliss, angelic nature, and hypnotic energy. 

For a better example, I want you to think of Knxwledge on the ‘NxWorries’ tapes in the types of magic you can expect on this project! This is definitely the type of album built to be played in album form to hear the chronic synchronicity he’s formed from the first to last beat! It’s absolutely magical! 

As far as the two tracks with MC’s on them, it. It definitely provides a small break from the rest of the album, but in that break, it amplifies the music with the talent on top of it! Of course, Red is no stranger to Abbot, and the rest match the energy of the record and also help bring it to that next level with their own styles and personalities across the songs!

Man, for a record I didn’t know existed until the other day, this has to be one of the standouts for September. It’s organically beautiful, it’s crafted with passion and masterful technique, and provides a level of ‘Mythical Art’ that you just don’t hear nowadays in the underground! Definitely worth checking out!
