After going through 5 emails in a row of super bad music, it was very refreshing to come across Natural. This dude is real, no bling, no frills. A straight-up hip-hop kid, and ’20 Something’ is a great introduction to his album also of the same name. It’s a retrospective of his own life and upbringing, and is personal enough to keep it interesting. It’s also extremely relatable if you’re a 20 something currently moseying along the road of vagueness and ‘errrr, what do I do now?’.
I’m currently spinning his record as I type this so I’m not going to lie and pretend, and write a review of an album I haven’t finished yet. I will say though, a few songs in and I can already tell this dude is as open as they come. He is what he says, and says what he is. I’m a fan of the production and instrumentation on ‘Postcards’, and ‘Go To Work’ is my life.
Give the video a gander, then give the album a spin.
