Mm mmm someone give Tuelv a high five for me, because this is some of the nicest production I’ve heard in a long time. My ears are very appreciative of it, thankyouverymuch. It’s all about using pianos and drum loops together, not against each other, and he’s got it completely locked down.
When it comes to the vocal side of this track, I’ll be honest I’m a little bias already when it comes to the lyrical content because I completely agree with what J.Nolan is rapping about, although I won’t give the game away, and let you listen to it for yourself, ’cause I know the world’s full of some judgemental little trolls. J. Nolan raps with a lot of passion, and the sound of urgency in his voice really rounds the lyrics off nicely. Realist, but optimistic raps are always a sure fire way of grabbing my attention.

A nice track from Praverb, featuring the talents of The Tom Hardy. It’s a well thought-out collaboration, and the two rapper’s flow works really well together. It’s one of those songs that the more you listen, the more extra bits you discover. Plus, I really can’t be mad at the outro scratches and strings on the intro, that is pretty much guaranteed to at least get a second listen out of me.
For fans of Atmosphere, Dre Murray and J.Pinder.

The Irony is a big mish mash or samples, and instrumentals. It’s nice to hear an album that really sounds like the artists involved have really been digging through the crates. I mean how else are you going to line up samples of Simple Red’s cover of The Marvelettes’ ‘Holding On’ with Kate Bush? (I’m not sure what song they used, but you can’t really mistake her voice), so kudos to producers GB and Flight Dream, along with the big plethora of other contributors who helped bring this project to light.
Ronnie Brown himself is an interesting rapper, and you can hear him perfecting her craft in every track. The interesting themes and song narrative of every day life, love, growing up and self-reflecting keep it fresh, and he’s got a really good hold on his style. That may sound like an obvious, but a lot of rappers really aren’t masters of their own style and flow. I’m was also really hyped on his track ‘Phone Calls’, where he partners up with fellow MC RJ Bagger.

Whilst he may still be working on his craft, and hasn’t quite hit everything part yet, this is a good, solid album and some real jewels in it. if you’re a fan of Fashawn, KB Da Boss and Aloe Blacc then give this a listen especially.
