With a whole host of dope releases hitting the inbox this week and review requests coming out of my ears, Chris stepped up to help us out here at HHL&T and here’s what he had to say about Baron Samedi’s ‘The Sewermouth Sessions’….
After last years ‘Ghost Network Vol 3’ introduced me to Baron Samedi, I had been waiting for his next release, and ‘The Sewer Mouth Sessions’ does not dissapoint! Described by the man himself as ‘A collection of happy sad love hate music for animals’, the album covers many different topics, from the ‘Park Bench Swag’ of opening track ‘Louder’, which features some cleverly self deprecating, as well as boastful lyrics and some nice Dise Beats cuts, to the poignant and rather sad tales of a love affair ending, ‘I Shoulda’ and ‘Closure’. Production comes courtesy of Sofa King, Baron himself, and Twisted Roots, and between them they supply a diverse selection of beats, from the rowdy ‘Louder’, the funky ‘Genesis 1:29’ to the melancholy ‘ Closure’, meaning the listener is kept attentive and entertained throughout the album.
