Music reviews of Healing
Music Review: Little Brother's little brothers
Rating: 3 Stars
Without Little Brother, you probably never hear Strange Fruit Project. That's not to say the new bites the old, but the Carolina crew did pave the way for the sound that dominates The Healing. Both groups blur the line between rap and soul and sound like they love every second of it.
Strange Fruit Project's sound revolves around a feel that all the best southern music contains. It combines soulful originality with a remarkably carefree attitude. Hip-hop is one of the easiest genres to pick out this southern ethos. No matter what the artist is talking about, you know they're having fun. From commercial to underground, old to new, the rappers down south are enjoying themselves a little more than everyone else.
Take "Good Times" for example. Everywhere else, the rapper with the so-so at best singing voice would take the hook off and a singer would handle that. But here, Myone, Myth, and S1 handle it themselves... and it comes off great. Not to mention that one of them puts on a ridiculous voice at the end to sing-joke their way out of the song. That only happens down south.
And how often does a group have three MCs in it without at least one being an obvious weak link? SFP is a true collaboration of equals. These guys are all really nice with the mic. Any doubts, check out what they do with the Jake One production on "Soul Clap." The track is an MC's dream with plenty of space between the boom-bap for the vocals to shine. It's a place where if the rapper holds up his end, the song will soar. And it does here.
9th Wonder delivers a brilliant production effort on "Special." As with so much of 9th's work, the song revolves around a moving vocal sample. Setting the mood further, the verses move between the beautiful singing of Thesis and the SFP guys' lyrics. A perfect illustration of the dynamic that permeates the entire album. Not to mention, enough to make you wonder when Thesis will drop an album of her own.
The only slow point of the album is "Pinball." Not because the song is bad, but because it breaks the mood of the larger work. Where everything else is about soul music, Vitamin D produces a track that is gimmicky. On its own or on a different project, the song would be fine, but here it feels out-of-place.
SFP has been bubbling on the underground level for a good little while now. If you've heard them before, The Healing is another piece of their discography that you'll need to pick up. If this is the first you're reading about them, then this album is a perfect introduction to a group that could quickly become one of your favorites.
