In order to drive oneself to new heights – you must obsess. Moderately, everything arrives in due time. The contextual irony cloaked within the bubbling progression shown by lowkey Nas of my generation amounts to, Don’t Feed the Pigeons. One to cause contemplation, it truly remains an honor and a privilege to witness YL’s progression.
Carrier Pigeon v. Passenger Pigeon
Any endeavor relies upon its’ core components. The way that YL of the RRR Music Group drops content tends to resonate. Indubitably, he facilitates his functions with multiple cryptic previews and properly timed balance of project releases. Again, core components derive from learning all facets of music – production, promotion, precision. Intellectually appealing aesthetics and scenarios never hurt either.
Aside: As a thorough interviewer and journalist – I pay attention to my surroundings. Twice a week, time spent at the Empire State Plaza displays interesting walks of life. Ironically, many public moments with her occur in the opposite manner – as if surrounding glances hold absolutely no weight. Yet, it goes to show how incredibly poignant Upstate NY foliage genuflects the rhythmic nature of existence.
Additionally, the simplistic nature of mathematical musical lens’ lends generously beneficial outcomes. Simply done, YL provides ample time to build up hype revolving around upcoming releases. “Illusions” proved worthwhile with staying power as a skit and small verse sample hit airwaves last October. Clearly, this album serves reminiscent of intellectually calculated releases with thematic imagery via intros/skits/outros too.
Full-Length Follow Up Feeds the Fans
Artistically, one of the first, Pigeon singles to drop made its way onto timelines one month before RRR dropped their project titled after their music group.
The most ideal characteristic about thee Triple R timing propels any life joy. One thing for sure – two for certain – any listener cannot hear their collections and resist the urge to feel. The feeling elicited by some of these smooth synchronous samples creeps up on a meticulous listener and hits ‘em where it counts.
Contextually, many of YL’s albums released within just the right era to help me navigate dark times. The songs have carried cruises for extended views and such. Alas, nobody needs to brave this world or music industry alone – big shouts to Waqas.Ghani [RRR Orchestrator] Also, we loved to see a Roper Williams reunion – the top rope from whence the producer duo struck!
Album Highlights
YL lets the beat speak on Nothing’s Changed ft. Ankhlejohn.
YL says: “Gettin poppin on some present day fame – kind of strange how you hate but stuck in the same place.”
Beat says: “Guess nothing’s changed”
We cannot overstate or undermine the concept of giving space to three man weave with the beat in this manner.
“Can’t dwell on what it once was – you finally getting bread that’s wassup.”
YL consistently taps in and touches upon thematic lines. Seemingly, his concept of $20 has escalated to $100 on this project – listen closer.
“$100 dollars on the floor Y’s it seem like a test?”
Don’t Feed the Pigeons incorporates many fascinating elements as a robust full length follow up to RRR the Album.
Huge Takeaway: “Letting go of the past put my future in better perspective – boutta make feature films lifestyle well-directed.”
