Music Monday: Tabi Bonney (@tabibonney) - Fresh (review)



Most people probably dont even know who Tabi Bonney is but this DC emcee has been doing his thing for years most notably would be his singles "The Pocket" or "You", which was in heavy rotation on VH1 Soul, from his first album A Fly Guy's Theme (which I liked). The way I would describe him is to mix the cockiness of Wale with the laid back style of Snoop and then throw a sort of international European vibe to it. The best way to describe this album is the title itself its "Fresh". Its something different about the vibe of this album than most albums that are coming out. Its real chill and real laid back. This is one of those albums you throw on in the car when you're driving to work sitting in traffic with just you, your thoughts, and the radio.

From the first track "Make A Killin" which features Pusha T it grabs you with his cocky appeal. Then with tracks such as "Fever" featuring Raheem Devaughn and "Sunlight" it to take you on a nice smooth ride. The track with Wale "Killer People" has a real live band/"Roots"ish feel to like like it would definitely sound great live. The album features notable artists such as Pusha T, Wale, Curren$y, and Raheem Devaughn.

I definitely would recommend you check out this album especially if you're looking for a new artist you haven't heard before.
