Brooklyn, New York emcee/producer Von Pea reuniting with The Other Guys for his 4th solo LP. Currently 1/2 of Tanya Morgan with Donwill, he would later embark on a solo profession with 2007 debut mixtape Grand Vonye in addition to it’s follow-up So Motivational: The Most Skullduggery of Mixtapes & the full-length debut Pea’s Gotta Have It. Right after the Duly Noted. EP was when Mighty Joe & Isaiah began working with Von nonetheless, producing the To: You EP together with the sophomore effort The Fiasco & the I’m Good Luv, Enjoy EP respectively. Last we heard from Von by himself was his earlier album City for Sale & Duly Noted 2, working it again with The Other Guys suggesting to Putcha Weight on It.
“More Johnny” opens up with a growth bap instrumental clarify it that his legendary standing will proceed to be spoken of even when he’s gone whereas “Roadblock” that includes Che Noir finds the pair speaking about individuals clapping at boundaries & attempting to rap with Black Thought. The title observe by Tanya Morgan that includes Skyzoo provides off a dusty jazz rap vibe coming in stronger than initially mentioned whereas “Lights On” speaking about part 4 being the kind of shit that retains the ability on.
Meanwhile on “Slide Off with Her Homie”, we now have Von persevering with to convey that old-fashioned growth bap model to the desk telling us what he’ll do to a skeezer if she doesn’t see how dope he’s till “Hains Point” heads for a jazzier course as soon as extra spitting like they gave him some sort of bribe. “Knew It All” that includes Oddisee crosses over parts of jazz rap & growth bap responding to the individuals who act like they know every little thing simply earlier than “Love Over Like” soulfully talks about romance.
“Shown Up Me” begins Putcha Weight on It’s closing moments by having the drums continually fading in & out like ocean waves flexing that be doesn’t want greater than 7 individuals each time he makes an album main into “Bway & Myrtle”speaking about attempting to get on through the low season sampling an organ. “Root for the Villain” sends all of it off with a cool outro remembering certainly one of hip hop’s best lyricists & producers, which occur to be none apart from the late MF DOOM.
The Fiasco up till this level has been my favourite Von Pea solo effort & to commemorate it’s 8-year anniversary passing yesterday, Putcha Weight on It improves from the divisive suggestions I’m Good Luv, Enjoy obtained though I personally didn’t thoughts when it got here 10 months succeeding the album that preceded City of Sale. He & The Other Guys liken their chemistry to the late King of Pop himself Michael Jackson & the revolutionary composer Quincy Jones linking again up after 7 entire years for a group of jazzy growth bap hits.
Score: 8/10
