Dabrye From Two to Three (Michigan producer extraordinaire) 2018
I ran into one of my favorite producers from the early 2000's and found that he released a current LP that was in line with his previous releases. Tadd Mullinixor Dabrye at that time was a talented producer from Michigan that did a lot of production with electronics and hip hop. To pay homage to his career and to highlight his new release. I wanted to review his previous releases. Here's part 1
Tadd Mullinixor Dabryeis an American musician from Ann Arbor, Michigan, United States, also known by the aliases James T. Cottonand SK-1. During his adolescent years, he grew up in Troy, MI. His Winking Makes a Face was the first album released by Ann Arbor’s Ghostly International. Parting with the IDMsound of Winking..., the first Dabrye album was 2001's One/Three, whose take on instrumental hip-hopparalleled the work of artists such as Prefuse 73.
Anderson Paak - Oxnard
We finally get the full release of Anderson Paak Oxnard. The Cali crooner and creative artist that has been featured almost every where. This Dr. Dre produced release is something Sean and I couldn’t wait to dive into.
Mick Jenkins: Pieces of a man
We jump into this Alabama breed, Chicago raised artist who is a combination Poet/Rapper and check out his new release: Pieces of a man. An interesting release during this Hip Hop era. But with the influence of Chance the rapper, Vic Mensa, I waited to see what this artist would bring after his critically acclaimed "The Water" release.
Metro Boomin - Not all Heroes Wear Capes
Our second half review falls on a producer. Metro Boomin is synonymous with the Atlanta sound. Seems to be always on the Quality Control hits and then some. We speak to the features and his creative way he decided to approach this solo album with a massive cast of QC artist.
TakeOff - The Last Rocket
As a continuation of the Quality control releases of the year. We take a listen to the Third member of The Migos, TakeOff. With no features listed on this release. We were very skeptical with what we were going to hear. Especially with the amount of Swag Offset and Quavo always bring to the team.
Future and Juice Wrld - WRLD on Drugs
This week we continue with our second half of our trap music review from Quavo to the new collaboration with the OG Future with his new collaboration release with the Chi town rapper Juice WRLD. What a different perspective we share with this release by Future. We also relive his previous releases that got us here.
Quavo Huncho (Quavo)
This week we jump into the trap music game with Quavo from the amigos and the OG Future with his new collaboration release with the Chi town rapper Juice WRLD. We start off with your boy Quavo which we kinda knew was on his way based on the Quality Control mega releases for this year. we get into Quavo’s touch into the big charts.
Dave East & Styles P - Beloved
Our second review of Collaboration albums is the New York rappers Dave East and Styles P. A veteran and a new comer gets together to spit the New york life, raw and luxurious. We go through the production, lyrical quality and what we thought was the concept of these collaborations.
