Lambo discovered Freddie. Did you manage to read the story by Archie Bonkers a few months back? Basically Lambo was an intern at Universal and found Freddie. Lambo lost his job and Freddie got dropped. I feel like there's an interview with Freddie that breaks it down (maybe Freddies first Rap Radar interview?) But they just never gave up. Never had any major label backing.A: I need to learn more about Lambo. I don't hardly know anything except that his name is dropped all the time by Freddie.
B: Still so tragic what happened to Nipsey
C: I need to listen to Royce's Allegory again. I liked it, but is it on your top 5 of the year?
I been a Nipsey fan since 2010 I even went to his show in 2014 after he dropped Mailbox Money. That XXL Freshman Class of 2010 was full of innovative artists on the music tip. Nipsey showed so much growth as a man its a damn shame he went out like that.
Top 5 is a tough one
Based off what I've listened to the most:
Fred - Alfredo
Conway - From King To a God
Benny - Burden of Proof
Ty Money - Cinco De Money 5
Tsu Surf - MYSKM
This is actually really tough I really liked Jay Elecs album a lot especially the way it was sequenced I gotta listen to it again
Bandana is 10 minutes longer (45 mins). I know the short album trend is in full swing, but 45 mins really is that sweet spot for a full length.
That's hardly a knock on Gibbs. Gibbs did pick good beats. But producers are producers for a reason, and I always like it when rappers let producers put the full plate together for the meal. Boldy James didn't pick any beats for Tea in China and it came out more cohesive than Alfredo or Lulu.
