Note:
I first became familiar with Rozewood a little over a year ago when I heard the cut, Prelude To A Funeral, off of his 2012 release. I really loved that cut and I have been listening to this emcee ever since.
Now to project at hand: Neon Paradise is a unique project because I feel like the the production and the emcee are divergent. What I mean by that is for the most part, the production throughout the album is laid back, subtle, and sometimes muted. Typically you would think that type of style would favor a laid back emcee, but Rozewood bucks that notion. He has a powerful delivery that is reminiscent of KGR. The production and the emcee really wind up gelling well on the album. He bodies the beat numerous times on this album.
