│ │
│ In the 95' hip hop classic, "Survival of the Fittest" by Mobb │
│ Deep, Prodigy leads off by stating "There's a war going on │
│ outside/no man is safe from..." and although he was talking │
│ about life in the streets, these words couldn't be any truer │
│ when looking at the war being fought within the music industry. │
│ Entertainers of all facets are faced with the evils that exits │
│ throughout, and sadly to those on the outside who admire the │
│ glitz and glamour - it's not so very appealing. And since so │
│ many of the popular ones are leaders along with radio and media │
│ programming praying on the minds of children and adults alike, │
│ there grows a cultish like community that seems sometimes │
│ unavoidable and impenetrable. │
│ │
│ Having said that, there are forces of good putting in work to │
│ set a new standard and give the world something of substance. │
│ In steps the three man collective known as Darling Lure. Now if │
│ you're a fan of this blog or frequent from time to time, you'll │
│ find quit a few posts about producer, Tall Black Guy. The │
│ architect behind the soundscapes of Eighties Babies, │
│ BlacKeys/Circle of BlacKeys a plethora of instrumental projects │
│ and remixes, and now the mastermind behind the boards │
│ contributing to the illustrative verbal paintings of emcees │
│ Race & Simeon Viltz of The Primeridian. │
│ │
│ Yesterday (9-13-11) marked the release of their self-titled │
│ debut album, Darling Lure - an assorted gem filled collection │
│ of 13 tracks addressing good times, spirituality, Chicago life, │
│ attack of the "real", domestic relations and much more. Joined │
│ by a few Chicago comrades and other respected artists from │
│ cities beyond, Darling Lure presents a cohesive project with │
│ the perfect balance of hypnotic beats and substantial rhymes to │
│ have the album in heavy rotation. │
│ │
│ Since yesterday up 'til now, I haven't listened to anything │
│ else (w/the exception of some meditation music). I did that │
│ primarily to be able to review the album without bias. Now │
│ don't expect a breakdown of each song cause opinions will │
│ surely vary. But let me just start with the "Intro in The │
│ Mornin'" which opens the album with a highly interesting │
│ thought. Over what I think was inspired by the beat of Anthony │
│ David's, "Let me in," (maybe not), Tall Black Guy inserts two │
│ audio clips from a pastor and another speaker who both reveal a │
│ particular practice seriously plaguing pop culture - backwards │
│ and encoded messages that find way into the listeners │
│ subconscious causing them to believe or act out in ways not │
│ typical of ones normal behavior. Sounds strange? Well, it can │
│ also be very disturbing when you hear or see these messages │
│ played out for self. This intro sets the tone which in turn │
│ leads Race and Simeon to confront these practices without │
│ apology. │
│ │
│ On tracks like "Change The Meridian" Race fires off on these │
│ candy land rappers who rhyme of false lifestyles stating: │
│ "Shell toes the only time you seen shells bro/and hell no these │
│ dudes and criminal or poppin' pistols the only time they pop │
│ lead/they was young poppin' pencils." No need to say names; │
│ just pick any one of your favorites and the sentiment fits. │
│ "Hang on" speaks to people of all life's and encourages them to │
│ hold on to those valuable lessons learned amidst the ignorance │
│ and wicked forever surrounding them. │
│ │
│ Halfway through the contents lighten up a bit, bringing us to │
│ the stressless narrative, Whistle While You Work - the current │
│ fun spirited single from the project. You can peep the video │
│ for it here. Wasting no time shifting back to a more serious │
│ note, "Trust" ft. ADaD & G.G, with it's creepy like production │
│ touches on predators of innocent women and men who physically │
│ and mentally instill fear and harm upon them through various │
│ deceitful measures, but also to trust in God and the greatness │
│ you envision. │
│ │
│ Closing out the album is "Love Hurts," a short tale of how a │
│ connection between two was formed right up 'til the time when │
│ things go wrong and trust is lost. Sad? Yes, but the jazzy vibe │
│ Tall Black Guy produces eases the pain one may feel as they │
│ travel down the path of their lost love. │
│ │
│ Coming in at right about 50 minutes, I assure you, you will not │
│ be disappointed. Darling Lure is a great debut pairing two of │
│ the dopest indie emcees with an equally dope producer whose │
│ soul purpose is to bring quality and sincerity to a genre and │
│ market lead by quantity and deception. Give it a listen and │
│ support these brothers. │
