Phonte - No News Is Good News (DIscussion Thread)

[feelosofer]

This is a very smooth album. Phonte so effortlessly blends the best elements of hip hop and R&B. This something I would listen to while making breakfast for the fam on Sunday morning.

I think it's a strong contender for his best work, only time will tell. No complaints on the singing, there isn't a lot and it's well executed. And it is music after all.

This album is also mixed and mastered well af for it's era.

Such Is Life

 

[Yayo Toure]

Lyrically this is the best album I've heard in a while. So many bars that are clever and poignant. That shyt about a black man having an ounce of compassion being double the serving size.

This is real nice. Perfect length on the album and has a nice groove to it.

Bought this once they put it on iTunes. Definitely will be a contender for AOTY. Pastor Tiggalo to Expensive Genes to Cry No More back to back

 

[Grizzly]

Album of the year so far next to Payroll "Big Bossin Vol. 2"
