New York emcee LIFEOFTHOM enlisting seasoned expertise supervisor, producer, DJ, songwriter, audio engineer & file govt Plain Pat to supply his debut mixtape. Introducing himself off his first couple EPs Thomas & Robot Jesus, he would go on to launch 3 extra in Floor 11 in addition to Room 44 & Cocotaso respectively. However, the singles that we acquired teasing Driving Blind & studying that the previous KIDS SEE GHOSTS supervisor was solely dealing with the entire manufacturing.
“Wasted” was a passionate alternative of an opener speaking about risking all of it for a plate & wanting loads of stacks whereas the spotlight “42nd St.” that includes Lørd Skø takes a jazzier but soulful strategy instrumentally representing the uptown. “Hands” that includes Wiki proves to be one other favourite collaboration of the 4 working in additional sampling stripping the drums to speak about being the boss sort whereas “Overthinking” tackles the theme of study paralysis.
Meanwhile on “Hittas”, we have now THOM over a soulfully cloudy beat speaking in regards to the lesson that each journey has to have the sort of people that’ll stick knives in our backs simply earlier than “Night” hooks up a drumless guitar so he can get married to the sport. “Cadillac” that includes jev. & Wiseboy Jeremy pairs the trio for a cool ode to luxurious automobile division of the General Motors Company whereas “Jeep” takes a extra cavernous strategy to the beat speaking about his obnoxiousness.
“G.T.F.O. (Get the Fuck Out)” begins the ultimate leg of the tape by addressing the individuals who wish to see him out of bounds whereas “Lost in Vegas” that includes Swavay speaking about being the kind to grab telephones & log into finstas. “XO Tour Life” jumps over a growth bap instrumental with pianos talking of cash at all times coming his approach & “Jumpin’ In” finishes an important entry of LIFEOFTHOM’s discography leaping up out the sting of his seat for $100.
Reinventing the traditional New York sound by mixing traditional growth bap rhyme schemes along with style blurring melodies, Plain Pat helps take the meticulously considerate pen & use of experimental cadences/flows that’s skyrocketed LIFEOFTHOM’s reputation to a totally completely different stratosphere with no shade supposed in the direction of these early prolonged performs since all of them have their very own highlights. Driving Blind’s refreshing manufacturing is not like any of Thomas’ earlier work & firmly stands behind the homie Lørd Skø in serving to pave a vibrant future for east coast lyricists.
Score: 9/10
