I'm going to add A. Billi Free & The Lasso. I was wondering why the name was familiar, I saw her open up for Black Milk a few years ago and thought she was dope. She didn't have any merch. Nice to see someone kinda local with a kind of big release.

I'm guessing this guy is going to update the post later on. I was really looking to see what singles came out.

Table for Two was a standout for me, so this was an auto purchase

I wished more projects were mixed so the song sequences are seamless

Really helps the flow of the album

Great follow up and LP.

---------------------------------------------------------------

If you can't understand it without an explanation

you can't understand it with an explanation

We will see how well it holds up on repeat listens but it instantly reminded me why I loved Painted so much.

IRT my previous reply, absolutely love the reprises on that album
Basically flips of his own songs on the same songs
The reprise on the India jawn should be a future project

But yeah, Lucky’s been all ascension
He has a nitche but is still evolving
Dude’s gonna be around for awhile.

---------------------------------------------------------------

If you can't understand it without an explanation

you can't understand it with an explanation

Great pairing
Dope beats, dope rhymes, what more do y’all want (c)

---------------------------------------------------------------

If you can't understand it without an explanation

you can't understand it with an explanation

it somehow exceeded my expectations

I think the only one I'm excited to check out today is the new Raw Poetic & Damu.

I will also check out the new Cypress produced by Black Milk, Lil Flip, Killah Priest and Tiana Major9.

Gone: My Discogs collection for The Roots:
http://www.discogs.com/user/tomhayes-roots/collection

the rapping definitely isnt holding up on repeat listens. they have a nice swag to them but theyre pretty basic.

lol.

first time i check out a project by either as far as i remember.

i looked through my files and i had heard umbrella symphony with currensy. seems to be in that lane. usually dope beats with raps that wear out quick.

BANGER. Unexpected pairing and it goes.
