If I were having friends over or looking to just kick it on a weekend night, or even just to take a drive let go, these would be my jams. The album as a whole has a very chill vibe. Wherever he's getting his inspiration I'm not 100% certain, but it's some good, powerful stuff. There's so much going on here, it's quite fun. "Old School." It's been a while since I've heard a hip hop album that was so laid back and pitch perfect in its goal that it's very refreshing.
And what it benefits most from is the fact that it's M9's debut LP. If a hip hop album can relax you successfully, it's a rare thing. There's a slow, smooth jazz vibe that sets the tone for the whole album and lets you know what you're in store for.
Magna Carta Album How To Weave Emotion
There's almost an eerie, haunting quality behind a lot of these tracks, as if there's a sense of impending doom that drives the record forward, something that, if these words are spoken at this very moment then the opportunity has been lost. When an artist understands how to weave emotion and meaning into an album successfully while simultaneously making it one of the more enjoyable hip hop records of the year, that's quite a feat. As a result, no track is lifeless and no moment is wasted as theme takes precedent. Considering the title of the album is "Magna Carta", it's safe to say he's not holding anything back when it comes to declaring how he feels about the world around him. One of the concluding tracks, "Colour Blind", stands out as an incredibly moving and important track about human nature, about the misdeeds we do that can hurt those around us or, on the flip side, the good deeds we can perform to lift others up.
And Roc Marciano rounds out the guest appearances by showing up at the top of "White Russian". Other appearances include Triple Darkness on the tracks "Heartless Island" and "No Man's Land", which, because of Triple's style, are slightly more aggressive tracks, which is a good thing. M9 lacks little as far as talent goes, but after some time it's nice to have a slight reprieve and she helps keep the album grounded.
