Bumps & Burials 9/6/21: All Elite Arrivals.Bumps & Burials 9/27/21: Not So Extreme Rules.
Grad School Stories: 009 – One Year in….Dom has provided smooth music for fans to bump on those Summertime rides so enjoy the trip. Production on YA is solid with work from THC, Polyester and Chase N Cashe among others. Whatever the outcome I’m always gone have regrets Never meant to happen hoping it turns for the best Took a pregnancy test shook her head and was yes Two months later her stomach it feels upset Sits down on the couch like I’m tryna have sex She walks in the room kisses me on the neck “1:25”, which I think is the best track on the album, shows Dom just living life and accepting the decisions that he made in his past: Witnesses had said they seen a ball of fireīitch I’m tryna president at Jive while you talking jiveĪll these presidents, won’t be surprised if one came alive Kendrick steals the show but the track still knocks: We be going hard for seven days like Toni BraxtonĪnother track that stands out on this album is the Kendrick Lamar featured “We Ball”. Dom adds a modern 90s style Hip Hop vibe with slow tempos.
The Yellow Album takes a different approach than his latest projects From The Westside with Love 1 & 2, Original Dom Kennedy, and 25th Hour. Yea, started making money when we dropped that Legal Trappin’ Kennedy stays true to his west coast sound and incorporates tight production with mellow flowing lyrics to give fans another side to his persona. So I’m tryna make it happen, damn how I end up rappin’ You gon’ be a star one day, that’s what my uncle told me Dom starts off YA with “So Elastic”, a smooth track had has a throwback feel to when the West was running the rap game in the 90’s: Dom Kennedy is favorite among listeners on Twitter and this project was highly anticipated from all fans alike. And Dom’s character is real.Los Angeles based rapper Dom Kennedy is back with his latest project Yellow Album. This special gift is given by an artist who compensates for what he lacks in technical impressiveness with what he innately possesses in character. No matter the month summer is still here as Kennedy and his producers create a body of work that acts as a time capsule of sorts for a certain feeling, mindset and period of experience.
Whether one factor outweighs the other in the success of GHS, it is still a favorable outcome. Without question, the production allows for Dom’s music to be as entertaining and solid as it is, which speaks for his fantastic ear as much as it does the arguable sense of those producers carrying the project. Soulful vocal samplings and guitar implementations ("All Girl Crazy," "Erica Part 2" and "Dominic") and jazzy album breaks ("Honey Buns Interlude") bring old-school elements into the mix, and subtly Caribbean-inspired progressions ("Nothing Like Me") top it all of with a sprinkling of variation. Warm textures ranging from melodic, sweet bass lines and shimmering string sections (album opener "Letz Be Friends) to atmospheric, widely panned tracks that retain hard-hitting snares ("17" and "After School") complement each other well. Whereas The Yellow Album was largely helmed by THC, the soundscape of Get Home Safely is provided by The Futuristiks and a slew of supporting others. On a nearly-literal level, what surrounds Kennedy is what partially allows for the overarching vibe of his music to exist: the production. He does not attempt to be anything greater or lesser than his own self, and he enjoys this truth. Short-but-sweet lines-“ I’m like Russell Simmons but he don’t fly couch much”-and a nearly indescribable authenticity pervade all aspects of the emcee’s work. Much of what’s shared is pretty trivial, yet it’s overflowing with this vague, cliche thing that we call realness. AC blowing strong.” On the track "Dominic," a girl is described as looking like something that a “n***a might do.” Later, album closer Nothing Like Me sees Kennedy discussing his come up, wanting hoes and how his cars are all black. Furthermore, plain lines hold a tremendous power in that they effectively put the listener into Dom’s world, while also establishing the time period during which this music is best consumed: “ When it’s 91 outside, bet it’s 69 in my coupe /. Dom Kennedy (2) Los Angeles Is Not For Sale Vol 1 (15xFile, MP3, Album, 192) The Other's People, Money Company. His linear description of a moment in "After School" is rarely thought-provoking, but always enjoyable. The topics addressed often encompass female-inspired lyricism and recaps of past, relatable experiences.
