Marlowe - Marlowe 3

Release DateOctober 28th, 2022

shout out to hiphopgoldenage for having this album on their list of best albums from 2022, I never would have discovered it. There's not much coverage of this album, or their past albums. L'Orange is the producer, Solemn Brigham is the rapper.

ReviewFrom the opening track, I think they sampled a Vietnamese guy. Thanks for representing my people. Then on track 2, my honest first thoughts were that this guy sounds like B.o.B. And as the album progress to track 3 and 4 and so on, I was just really impressed by the production and the samples because the music sounds like it's from a 70's action film with lots of trumpets. It gets me energized. Truthfully, I don't know what he's saying most of the time, but I like the way he flows and the music just matches his energy so when they meet during chorus, it just feels nice. 

This is their 3rd project as Marlowe, I haven't listen to their past two yet, so I don't know if this album is trending new waters or a rehash of their older albums. I just know that I really enjoyed my time with this record.

SummaryProduction is excellent, Rapper is very chatty. This album is a good time.

Favorite Songs: My People, The Jeweler, Royal
Rating: 8/10
