Let it be known
that as soon
as you listen
and digest
and have time
to write about
an album by
Lord Jah-Monte Ogbon
he will release
another album.
This year alone,
the Charlotte, NC MC
released
a full-length
fully-produced
by beatmaking legend
SadhuGold. The track
"Linking and Buildings"
in particular
is especially bonkers
in the best of ways.
Most recently,
he released
Here, There & Everywhere
a ten song LP
further solidifying
his name as one
of the greatest out
right now. We NEED
a full-length
from him
and DJ Muggs,
or V Don,
or The Alchemist,
or Madlib.
He’s on a roll.
