(LOEFLYYY)

Talk about work ethic! This man is still fresh off his incredible album with BoneWeso, and now he’s back with another (for now) Bandcamp exclusive of a record that he recorded and mixed all by himself! It’s always exciting to see an artist’s progress, and I can tell you firsthand this one is worth looking out for! Let’s talk about why!

This is the brand-new album by MC and 23 Incredible artist Nyeusi Loe, and this time around he’s accompanied by producers:

– Soul La Flare

– RSNZ

– NOFACE

An absolute killer of a beat team. Each of them I fuck with heavily, and to see them on the same project? It’s like the underground Hip Hop Marvel ‘Defenders’ team! A gritty, tough team not to fuck with! 

Now, as I’m sure I said in the review for ‘YUNG LAZARUS’, I feel Nyesui showcases a more smooth and mellow character in the 23 camp. He has a certain type of ‘serenity’ to him that others don’t. 

He has no need to spaz on a beat, shout, or put on an aggressive edge to make his points; he’s confident in his lush and clean delivery that makes every word felt and each bar land that much harder!

Across these 10 tracks, we see him in his wheelhouse with his sharp lyricism, his fluent manipulation of words that he makes do gymnastics across the instrumentals! From his bar structures to his vivid pen game that make you feel like you’ve personally stepped into his mind and felt the exact situations and circumstances he’s rapping about. Again, that’s when his calm demeanour comes into play; it makes what he says feel that much more surreal and immersive!

You can tell (even with his more relaxed rapping) he does inherit a bit of that iconic ‘splash style’ you can hear him shooting words and sentences across the beat in any way he feels most comfortable! He doesn’t conform to a specific way of doing it; he does whatever feels best in the moment, and that coupled with his passionate voice makes for a killer performance that I can’t put down!

Also gotta shoutout to my main man -Datkidbravo for his dope verse! He’s always locked in, never one to miss! -Obijuan also killed it! Great choices for the record!

As I mentioned above, the producers on this list are insane! I know from studying his past discography that he has quite the extensive history with -RSNZ, and cats like -Soul La Flare and -NOFACE have been staples in Jackpot Records & Al Divino works, and so it’s only natural they’d be accompanied on 23 projects, and they do (as usual) a phenomenal job on this one as well!

Across these songs, we hear a combination of smooth, soulful, and atmospheric hip hop that has subtle nods to 

-Funk,

-Jazz, and more. You can always be reminded this is their production as throughout the tracks they add those recognisable adlibs of gun sounds and trademark phrases and words! But it is the type of production that you can sit back, relax, and just sink into the score they’ve set up! It’s a beautiful expression of art!

If I had to describe the ‘feel’ of this album, it would be this. A gorgeous walk through a forest on a nice sunny day (after a thick blunt), the instrumentation stays divine and ever so harmonious, but there’s always that tweak of experimental hip hop vibe that all three of those producers are known for! 

So I shout them out for showing restraint in the execution of these beats, but they still throw in the sprinkle of noise/brash inspiration into the production, which gives it that flare and volume to the track!

I love how stripped back yet powerful each song is. These guys specifically are masters at talking a few layers and creating cinema. They don’t need a thousand aspects to make a banger, give them a handful, and they’ll sonically feed the culture for months! 

Considering this album is a ‘name your price’, you have no excuse not to go grab this and spin it! This is easily worth $25, but now it’s up to you how much you can pay! So go to the link below, purchase the record, and experience the vibe!
