Eskay recently revealed that his hometown favorite graces one of The Source‘s 3 upcoming covers. There’s also a Busta and a Bun one for the ten collectors still left. Hey everyone gets a cover nowadays, huh? Notice this one’s also a double month edition. Not a good sign. Still it’s hard to believe the cockroach of publishing will ever die. Lord knows I heard the crunchy sound when I lifted my Timbo up. Smh.
After the jump, Julia Beverly thinks Da Capo’s album’s called Purple Reign.
Wale, in this track, shows once again his ability to blend different genres. He doesn't limit himself to hip-hop, but enriches it with R&B nuances, creating a familiar sound. This fusion is not only an exercise in style, but serves to intensify the emotional impact of the song. And then there is his ability to rap. Wale is a master at playing with words, creating complex rhymes and modulating his voice to best express his emotions. In 'Blanco', his rap part is an explosion of words that intertwine with the melody, creating a hypnotic and relaxing effect. His ability to go from moments of pure energy to moments of deep introspection is what makes this track so engaging; it reminds me of when you would slow dance, hugging your woman.
