Brooklyn, New York emcee/producer Von Pea reuniting with The Different Guys for his 4th solo LP. Presently 1/2 of Tanya Morgan with Donwill, he would later embark on a solo profession with 2007 debut mixtape Grand Vonye in addition to it’s follow-up So Motivational: The Most Skullduggery of Mixtapes & the full-length debut Pea’s Gotta Have It. Proper after the Duly Famous. EP was when Mighty Joe & Isaiah began working with Von nevertheless, producing the To: You EP together with the sophomore effort The Fiasco & the I’m Good Luv, Take pleasure in EP respectively. Final we heard from Von by himself was his earlier album Metropolis for Sale & Duly Famous 2, operating it again with The Different Guys suggesting to Putcha Weight on It.
“Extra Johnny” opens up with a increase bap instrumental clarify it that his legendary standing will proceed to be spoken of even when he’s gone whereas “Roadblock” that includes Che Noir finds the pair speaking about folks clapping at limitations & attempting to rap with Black Thought. The title observe by Tanya Morgan that includes Skyzoo provides off a dusty jazz rap vibe coming in stronger than initially mentioned whereas “Lights On” speaking about part 4 being the kind of shit that retains the ability on.
In the meantime on “Slide Off with Her Homie”, now we have Von persevering with to convey that old fashioned increase bap type to the desk telling us what he’ll do to a skeezer if she doesn’t see how dope he’s till “Hains Level” heads for a jazzier route as soon as extra spitting like they gave him some sort of bribe. “Knew It All” that includes Oddisee crosses over parts of jazz rap & increase bap responding to the individuals who act like they know every part simply earlier than “Love Over Like” soulfully talks about romance.
“Proven Up Me” begins Putcha Weight on It’s last moments by having the drums continually fading in & out like ocean waves flexing that be doesn’t want greater than 7 folks at any time when he makes an album main into “Bway & Myrtle”speaking about attempting to get on throughout the low season sampling an organ. “Root for the Villain” sends all of it off with a cool outro remembering one in every of hip hop’s biggest lyricists & producers, which occur to be none aside from the late MF DOOM.
The Fiasco up till this level has been my favourite Von Pea solo effort & to commemorate it’s 8-year anniversary passing yesterday, Putcha Weight on It improves from the divisive suggestions I’m Good Luv, Take pleasure in obtained though I personally didn’t thoughts when it got here 10 months succeeding the album that preceded Metropolis of Sale. He & The Different Guys liken their chemistry to the late King of Pop himself Michael Jackson & the revolutionary composer Quincy Jones linking again up after 7 entire years for a set of jazzy increase bap hits.
