The City Snapshot

"Melodramatic popular song" is right; Such an accurate description to the perspective offered by the sound of The City Snapshot. What is fun about this music, from a listener's standpoint, is how the artist doesn't hesitate to put himself down and call himself a "creep" as in "Fear and Loathing" where their views on relationships, loneliness, and sexual encounters are expressed in detail. "Owl Eyes" is cool.

My favorite cut from this City Snapshot experience just happens to be "Jim Jones." The sacrilegious cry lands quite light on the ears with a similar melody as Andre 3000's "Take Off Your Cool" combined with an exhausted delivery of confused expressions. The pics of the artist dressed in a cardigan, wearing g-shock accessories and holding flowers lead me to expect friendlier lyrics. This was my mistake, setting myself up, not for disappointment, but I guess you shouldn't have particular expectation for guys who can "Breath Under Water," as stated in their EP's title.

Fly Gypsy Review

With geographical references on the front artwork (representing Jamaican “Rum” and Russian “Vodka,”) Fly Gypsy’s “Vodka & Rum Mixtape” is a cool combination of clever lyrics over well-sampled production complimented by popular verses and/or hooks from some of your favorites. Remembering Kom, the group’s vocalist, originally from Montego Bay, Jamaica and now residing in the BK, I recall being at the Eubie Blake Jazz Museum in Downtown Baltimore and witnessing his spoken word performance. [Komplex] Thereafter he pulls out a portable credit card machine and informs the crowd he would be selling CD’s later. I have a good memory. After researching the group and learning their credentials, it is quite interesting to watch the perspectives clash and experience what their different backgrounds have allowed them to create collectively.
My favorite cuts from this Mixtape are back-to-back, track 7 and 8. “Wildflower” featuring vocals from Jose Feliciano, describes the bittersweet emotions of a “bad girl” who seems to have a hard exterior. This record describes how this sort of attitude in a woman can hinder particular relationships and sometimes cause one to desire what they cannot have. “Wildflower” is appropriately followed by the hip-hop ballad “Look for You” which depicts the desire to reconnect with a lost love. The expression in these two records allow listeners to gain an understanding and connect with the emotional side of Fly Gypsy during an all-around feel good experience, via Vodka & Rum.
