Eto & Futurewave Dead Poets (Discussion Thread)

[Mr. Negative]

This album is extremely melancholy. Nothing upbeat or even angry rah rah in here. It's a very... gray skies album.

At the same time, it's prolly Futurewave's best work as a producer, IMO, outdoing Substance Abuse due to it's sheer sonic cohesiveness.

On the same token, this is also Eto's best work since Hell's Roof. Both of them stay shadowboxing the image of their peers, and it shows.

This whole era of mix/matching underground artists, producers, crews and areas has been great for hip hop, and is honestly unsung.

Yeah I love it when artists work w/ just one producer or team.

You heard Futurewave’s album with Boldy? I personally think that’s his best work. Very cohesive and he blends the aggressive, melancholy, and smooth sounds really well.

Would also recommend Eto’s album w/ Wally Clark called The Circle if you haven’t heard it…I think it’s on bandcamp. That’s one of his best projects in my opinion

dope

Cut the ribbon


The first half is dope I gotta give the second half more spins. I know the second half isn’t fukking with the first half. I don’t like the guest appearances, that all come in the second half except Daniel son on that one track.

This whole time I thought Daniel Son was a Jamaican nikka from Toronto. Threw me off when I saw his pic b/c it didn’t match his voice at all lol. He killed that verse tho

I got this ranked over the album with Boldy cause that one was EQ'ed kinda weird imo. In the car, I could barely hear James cause of the beats. But in the headphones it balances out. Like I say, some weird mastering/EQ thing.

My only real complaint is some of the beats drown Boldy out.

But that's just the car. Gotta listen through the headphones.

And yeah the car is kind of a rough listen with this album. Boldy's voice is super overpowered in my car too. The album sounds way cleaner in my headphones. The bass in crazy loud in the car. A little too much. You're the 3rd person I've seen mention that too.

Daniel Son is like the new Bobby Caldwell.

used to be one of my money bets. Bobby Caldwell is white, for real. Put money on it, nikka.

Easy money.
