Artist: Yons
Album: The Laws of Motion
Articulation: King Acklin
Florida raised, Kentuckiana based artist Yons, dropped a 6 piece on us earlier this month. His project, the Laws of Motion, is 20 min soulful effort with great production. Yons has done production work for a number of artists and did not slouch on his own project. The first track, The Walk featuring Otis Junior, sounds like Otis Redding singing to us on a soulful produced introduction to the project. Loco Motives is a good song stuck in between two standouts on this project. Inspiration sounds like it has an orchestra behind it and is the standout track on the project. The song sounds like its right out of a Chance the Rapper project or at least you think he would come on at any minute to drop a verse.
The next track, Feel Good, comes on and the first thing you hear are jazz horns. You can never go wrong with Jazz horns. Yons delivers here with a sharp delivery and up-tempo beat that I’m sure fans will love this one. These Roads Aint Safe is a 70s ish movie type vibe of a song. It’s almost feels like the opening to your parents’ favorite old movie from that time. The short project ends with Parallel Park, a laid-back contagious track where Yons is just spitting bars.
Overall, this is a good project. It feels like Yons delivered a solid piece of soulful work here with top notch production that helps push the project. In a short period of time, you get Rap, R&B and Soul all in 6 tracks. Bottom line and question of the day; is It Dope Tho? The answer is Yes; the project is a 7 on the Dope Tho Scale. Listen now and thank me later... #DopeTho #YouWelcome
