about
"Travis Miller (aka Lil Ugly Mane) has described his collaboration with Richmond, Virginia native Nickelus F as “[not] really an album as much as it is a compilation, [with] tracks [we] started and finished and started over and redid and reworked, forgot and remembered, lost and found.” LUM operating under the Shawn Kemp moniker, the already-legendary rapper/producer delivers a jumbled sound far-removed from his more signature style, yet still undeniably his. It’s messy, raw, and bridges LUM’s airtight production to the unpredictability of dark alleyways. Nickelus F is nimble enough to manoeuvre the eclectic production with a dynamic flow and numerous hooks. Nick’s bars strike a balance between street-hardened and erudite - smart as a whip, but weighed down with grimy realism that he refuses to compromise for pure flash. Miller (a professed fan of Nick’s) complements his gritty approach with equally hard-hitting beats." - SputnikMusic User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
