Rapper/producer Nickelus F
and producer Ohbliv
join forces
yet again
behind the counter
of Brewer's Cafe
in Richmond, Virginia.
Rather than performing
a medley of released
jams, rather than performing
tracks for their 2011
tape Yellow Gold
or 2013's YG2,
the two decided
to do something
both original and exclusive.
Unheard rhymes
over unheard beats,
this 37 minute
video might as well
be an album listening
party. It's an experience
you can't hear
anywhere else.
The eleven songs
aren't even recorded.
Maybe one day
we'll hear them
but this offering
is a thoughtful
and unique
take on how
the public inhales
and digests media
and entertainment.
I don't know
what to call this,
but when I make
my end of the year
album list, this live
one-take session
will be near
the top.
