Laws holds nothing back in 4:57
By: Chris Wallace (Writer: Hip-Hop’s Forum)
Who do you get when you mix Lupe’s lyricism and rapid flows, catchy hooks , and Don Cannon’s production ingenuity?
Laws. That’s who.
The young rapper supplies his latest mixtape, 4:57. Adopted at birth to a Puerto Rican family, the native Brazilian has plenty to say and holds nothing back.
First. I’d recommend any track but if I had to single out any: “Number One”, “Vintage Futuristic”, “My Chick” and “Run Away”.
They’re all outstanding. There are many you could sub in and out for the best 5 tracks depending on your style preference.
“My Chick” is completely different and unique while “Run Away” is production duo, Justice League, at their finest.
I could pick one or two songs I didn’t necessarily “love”, but why bother? It’s a real good work of art by all parties involved.
With this project, Laws puts himself on the guest list to Hov’s “Off That/On to the Next One” Party he started throwing just before the New Year.
Loaded with incredible and easily album-worthy beats; 4:57 makes you wonder just where Laws has been all this time. It makes you hungry for more Don Cannon.
Laws comes off as one who gets the direction Hip-Hop is headed in along with Drake, Wale, Cudi, Khalifa, of course Mr. West, and whomever else you think qualifies.
I’ll speak for Hip-Hop Nation when I say we’re excited to see who else will blossom in 2010.
J. Cole? Nipsey Hussle? Pill? Wiz Khalifa? It should be entertaining.
But for now, thanks Laws. This is more than a refreshing listen well after the first time.
