Lord Juco and Finn crafted one of my favorite albums of 2021 in Details. It has such a melodic and conversational vibe and you can definitely hear that with the diner talk on Gift Of Gab.
The album is an opus to me in that it’s very unique in concept and in the talent demonstrated. I think it will stand the test of time and people will revisit this album with an “oh wow” perspective. Don’t sleep.
Wow. This is some of the best spittery this year, period. Gift Of Gab, A-F-R-O, and R.A. The Rugged Man are clearly just showing off here and as well they should. There are better bars on here than you can find on some entire albums! Really ill. But man, R.A.’s climatic third verse simply just takes the cake…I left listening to this track with nothing but shear admiration.
This song is something special. I enjoyed everything about it. The beat was tight, the lyricism was on point, and the message was meaningful. Just a perfect example of hip hop. Be on the lookout for Illus‘ album, For Adam, dropping later this month. His debut EP, Feel Good Music, is a good place to start if you are not familiar with the man.

From that launching point I started playing the album and from the jump I could tell that this artist was going to be a breath of fresh air for my Itunes.
