Synesthesia Review: Blaklez - Baby Brother

in music •  6 years ago 

Blaklez comes through still firing on all cylinders on he's third studio album, Baby Brother.

So after many delays and push backs the album opens with the correctly titled Better Late Than Never. He's cadence is still one of the best and also brings a new sense of maturity to he's music; he's music has only ever evolved as time has passed. The overall sound of the album is very much soaked in tradition, leaving it having a sense of home.

The two biggest and most memorable tracks on the album would have to be Dubai and the Kambridge Still assisted My Whole Life. The latter having a stellar verse courtesy of Kambridge. Parenthood is something Showtime has touched on in the past and does so without sounding preachy on Fathers and Daughters. Blaklez has always had the ability of walking the line between conscious music and the more mainstream sound.

The main negative on this album would be the "sell out" tag that'll be slapped on Blaklez' name for the obvious pandering to radio and tv for Saka Nyuka. Blaklez has paid he's dues and has shown that he can rap with the best of them as proven on the YoungstaCPT featured Jungle Justice. The man deserves to eat. The production helps in the eating process as it establishes that Blaklez has the ears for quality production.

This album is a cohesive body of work that was in the end well worth the wait.
