Noname Nocase

“Ayo, Wyd?” - 8:16 pm EST - Sunday, August 22

The first time I have heard of Noname was I’m guessing when J.Cole released “Snow on tha Bluff” lmao, but other than that is when she had a feature of Saba’s “Bucket List Project” and I was really interested in the female rapper since my playlist lacks it. It took me up till today to finally listen to one of her projects and I’m really glad I did.

Noname is obviously inspired by the soulful and conscious hiphop legends of the late 90s and early 2000s and I was loving every second of it. By the first track I was already hooked by the smooth instrumentals and interesting flow she carries herself on. She has a way to fit a lot of words in a bar while changing the speed of her delivery to accommodate the bar. I love it. Her voice is smooth and humble but still confident in the topics she brings up. It’s like she’s trying to enlighten me in the nicest way possible. With Noname’s calm vocals and smooth soulful instrumental, this is definitely not a skip. Fresh.

Track List:

1. Self

2. Blaxploitation

3. Prayer Song

4. Window

5. Don’t Forget About Me

6. Regal

7. Montego Bae

8. Ace

9. Part of me

10. With you

11. no name

TLDR: smooth style makes this worth your time.

(Side note: I don’t like the idea of number ratings so I’ll just show how many of the tracks from the album I added to my personal Spotify playlist, just for reference.)

Ghetto Boys and Dead prez are two of my all time favorite hip hop groups. The commonality among them, although their deliveries are completely different, is that they all had this hunger to rap their way out of their particular situation. With raw lyrics and gritty melancholy beats, they told stories that not only describes the life in the inner city but also gave you a view into the trials and tribulations of trying to get out while spreading a message that there is more to life than the troubles that they were facing. From Petersburg, VA, VSoul has entered with their own brand of hip hop with the same hunger. They are versatile lyricist with a message of progress and awareness.

“Woke” is my favorite track on the project. I love this beat. WIth its slow tempo it give room for each artist to deliver poignant lyrics. The hook alone calls out the ones that use the term simply because it fashionable. The first half of the first verse is vicious. “Lets pop a pill and listen to Drake...NOPE! Say fuck the skills just hop on the wave...NOPE! Let's get braids on top of a fade...NOPE! Let's get paid and act like a slave...NOPE! Let another nigga write my verse...NOPE!!...”. SHEESH!! I can name at least ten current MC’s this applies to just typing this.. My absolute favorite line in this song is “MUSIC IS LIFE, you take it we die. We spiritual inside. It's the rhythm that keeps us alive. They poison our minds with these ignorant rhymes, i’m bringing conscious back.” This is what hip hop needs and why I love independent artist. It is really about the art. Labels are about revenue. What these brothers have to say is way too important to be subdued by the bureaucracy of the music industry.  

“Round Here” really hit home for me. Being from the surrounding area, I’ve seen the struggles that the people of Petersburg, Va go thru. While the song is not a party track, I can imagine the good people of Petersburg hearing this and just sitting in tears. The pain of violence, death, and police brutality rings clear in this track. The piano riff sound like a soap opera but the kick in the drum beat reminds you that this is the beat of the city. Steady...heavy��� and with impact. Lyrically it is a sad autobiography of young men that are clearly trying to rap their way out. The line in this track that shook me was “Even if I fast, bitch I’m gone eat!” I took this to mean that even if the hustle requires him to go without food , he will do whatever it takes to get himself out of his current situation. The delivery of this line was steeped in pain and determination. Well done sir!

“If You Knew” was unexpected and I absolutely love this track. Anyone that knows me knows that I am an old school R&B head so when I heard the sample of Pattie Labelle “If Only You Knew”, my ears perked and I was shaken out of my edible cloud. That was a bold choice of a sample. To pick something that iconic you better kill it with lyrics. As I listened intently I was wondering “Where is this song going? These brothers have been rapping about the black experience in Petersburg, Va and this sample is nothing like anything else on the project...WTF are they doing!?!?!” But then...it's a love song. Its VA Version of Nelly's “Dilemma”. With the speed of this track, there was a lot packed in there lyrically between the artist, but it reminded me of the days when rap was actually fun and you could listen to it with your girl without her feeling totally disrespected.   

I was thoroughly impressed with this project. I was more surprised that these guys were in my own backyard! Production wise the sound is clean. Lyrically its soul stirring. While I am only mentioning 3 songs in this review, over all this project is a great example of the ability of independent artist speaking the truth of their art. This album has everything from motivation, self empowerment, to a love song! It's just a great mix that gives you everything you would want from a hip hop group. I can’t wait for the next project!

[kaotic1111]

This is a work of songs ive been working on for the last 6 months off and on. Ive been putting these together slowly making sure they sound as good as I can. I recorded them all in my home studio using Fl Studio 12. I wrote and Mix and mastered all the tracks myself. Be sure to check out the exclusive track Never Give Up(Debut Track) and Sandlot. Also be sure to check out the remaster bonus tracks Westworld II and IV included when you purchase the album. I created the beats for Rapper in the Mirror and the Remix of Pushing Me Away by Linkin Park is also a hit to be sure to bump.
