bbno$ Links With Lentra For Album, ‘good luck have fun’

Fresh off the successful release of Baby Gravy 2, his collaborative album with Yung Gravy from earlier this year, bbno$ wasted little time in bringing listeners yet another distinct body of work to embrace.

This time, he’s recruited the talents of the up-and-coming rapper, Lentra, a dexterous producer with a similar wit in his music taste. The pair’s collaboration resulted in a 13-track, 31-minute album, with features from Gooch, Yung Gravy, Crosby, and TrippyThaKid.

Numerous tracks feature production twitching with whip-smart pop infusions, from the simplistic and enthused percussion of “mememe”, to the frenetic bounce of strings in “admit it”.

The “Bad Boy” rapper brings his signature flow to a dense venture that demands nothing less than the utmost tenacity. Still, Lentra manages to make his presence known, despite being accompanied by a litany of noted MCs.

Given his background in the type of Dance/Electronic music one might expect to hear with their head in the clouds, he proves to be a subversive, yet complementary addition to bbno$ talents, with his complexity donating a texture to the album that distinguishes it from the countless other joint efforts we’ve seen this year.

Even then, it appears his influence was most prominent with the good luck have fun’s final track, “feeling good”. The track showcases a stark divergence from its predecessors, with a foot-tapping rock sensibility and grandiose excitement that hearkens back to The Ramone’s “Blitzkrieg Bop”.

The album’s end cements its tone as a piece bound to feel familiar, yet inventive with its often subtle twists on modern rap standards.

NNORDY steps into jazz fusion with latest release “Wrong Turn”

NNORDY’s latest release, “Wrong Turn” is a fully live jazz fusion album that showcases the limitless possibilities of instrumental storytelling with the remarkable chemistry between guitar, keyboards, bass, and drums. The song has no words but is an excellent story told through musicianship and sets the stage for listeners to embark on a rich jazz experience.

“Wrong Turn” shows the strength of live performance from the get-go. Each instrument feels alive and in conversation with the others, a dynamic dialogue that develops organically over the course of the piece. Without vocal guidance, each musical phrase is left to speak for itself, giving the listener the freedom to interpret the track in their own way.

The guitar and keyboards often lead, crafting complex melodic lines and textures that give the music direction and atmosphere. Meanwhile, the bass and drums lay down a solid rhythmic base, creating movement and momentum while still leaving a lot of room for exploration. NNORDY creates a track that both dedicated jazz fans and listeners looking for something adventurous and fresh will enjoy. “Wrong Turn” shows that instrumental music can be as expressive and compelling as vocal music.
