I was a bit hesitant on the whole idea of a seven album drop, given the high possibility for repetition and boredom, but K really pulled through with this one. His creativity and poetic versatility are timeless. Every album it seems like he out does himself, then the next one drops and the gems on there have you saying the same thing you said about the previous.
There's only so much I can speak on at the moment, but I'll definitely let you know when I delve into more of the work.
As of now, I've yet to pierce the soil.
At first I was similar, I didn't immediately think this is a great idea, I probably thought wow that's difficult. I knew he could do 3-4 as he's done it before but 7 is huge for an artist that puts that much effort into his work. Like I said, a lot of artists don't release 7 albums, let alone 7 dope albums, so 7 on the same day initially sounds daunting. Could try to downplay it but it's never been done in Hip Hop before as far as most of us are aware and extremely unlikely to this standard.
I knew he could do it, but I also knew just how difficult it was going to be, K-Rino himself says it was difficult, it was a challenge, it's not something I'd want to undertake, it's just too much hard work.
The fact he took up that challenge and actually executed it superbly I give him a tremendous amount of props for, I now see what the vision was listening to it, I was always open minded and only gonna judge after hearing it but was somewhat apprehensive, it's a sizeable difficult task...
I see what he's done now, he wants to stake his claim even further in Hip Hop history, there's a song on 1 of the albums called Drive and it describes his extreme drive as an artist, is a great song, people could learn a lot from that.
He carved a path no-one has done before, like he says on the intro it's not about quantity but quality, he's genuinly released 7 quality albums on 1 day. I see more of the vision now, he wanted to cement himself even further with his body of work, he wanted to do something to challenge himself that quite frankly most artists can't do. It worked, it's been a great success, people going crazy over these albums, people buying the albums also, I think most of his pre orders bought all 7, also if you're familiar with streaming royalties etc, having that many new songs that are getting 1000's of plays will increase general revenue also not just the CD sales.
A lot of the great artists are visionary's. K-Rino had a vision and he showed the drive, consistency, persistence and determination to achieve his goal and objectives. All anyone can do is go check the YouTube comments on the songs and see how well the songs are being received for a breif idea of the consensus feedback to this.
DJ Premier, Willie D, Z-Ro, Ras Kass, Beast, Nip and could go on and on already given him huge props for this, it just elevates him even higher and further and enhances his legacy. Great accomplishment, I've seen a lot of artists who have never released 1 album or some 1 over years or small amounts, K-Rino surpassed that in a day, he objectively surpassed many people's discography's in a day just based off just these albums, not to even mention all his other previous great work.
Yeah, am pretty confident you're gonna fukk with them, there's gems on each album, keep me updated, interested...
