That is the sophomore effort from Richmond, Virginia emcee Fly Anakin. Beginning out roughly a decade in the past, he first caught my consideration in 2018 after being featured on Ankhlejohn’s magnum opus Van Ghost & began to realize much more publicity when he & Pink Siifu dropped their collaborative effort FlySiifu’s. His full-length debut studio album Frank that celebrated it’s 3-year anniversary final month was an effective way of him honoring his father & is coming again to handle (The) Ceaselessly Dream.
“Good Garments” begins by speaking about getting his thoughts proper across the time of the COVID-19 lockdowns in 2020 & not needing to say sorry since he’s been taking what’s his whereas “Teen Summit” strips the drums because of Quelle Chris so he can attempt to construct earlier than going again. “My N***a” that includes Huge Kahuna O.G. & $ilkMoney samples “Awaking of Our Senses” by Argo for a dedication to brotherhood whereas “Lil One” addresses a person who desires one thing when he already owes one thing.
Iojii seems with Fly Anakin on the drumless chipmunk soul observe “Examine on Me” that August Fanon laced asking for his or her romantic pursuits to test & see how each of them are doing simply earlier than “Not Too Shabby” that includes Nickelus F, Quelle Chris & $ilkMoney brings the quartet collectively to speak about being nearer to their desires. “Lord Forgives, I Maintain Grudges” that includes Denmark Vessey & Pink Siifu is just about their manner of claiming “god forgives, I don’t” main into the string-laced “The Instances” talks about his squad having most of their heads screwed on.
“Ceaselessly Dream” takes the drums out of the equation once more portray an image as if he’s Vincent Van Gogh whereas “Nook Pocket” that includes BBYMutha produced by The Alchemist offers a shoutout to themselves since they received cash on the way in which. “YOUGOTME!!” after the “Dr. Phil” skit discusses being heartbroken after giving this girl all the things & after the “Foreverever Dream” interlude, the soulful nearer ”Say Thank You” that includes Pink Siifu & Turich Benjy ends by poignantly giving because of God.
A few of the most experimentally formidable materials of Fly Anakin’s profession winds up on (The) Ceaselessly Dream bringing collectively a set of brilliant, various & downright beautiful underground hop hop hip hop that’s so light-on-its-feet to the purpose the place it will probably typically really feel prefer it’s sweeping you off yours. I choose the manufacturing right here slightly greater than Frank due to the way in which makes use of relentlessly sunny & imaginative instrumental thrives tilting its tracks from laid-back to cocksure to considerate with the class of a well-executed magic trick.
