Artist: IVRY
Album: In Real Life
Articulation: King Acklin
Louisville’s own, IVRY presents his latest project, In Real Life. This 14-track project dropped in November and is worthy of few more listens from fans out there. The project is very consistent throughout and definitely puts IVRY in the same lane of these artists we’re hearing getting radio spins today. Tracks like Took My Chain, Say Less, Got My Back and I Can Rap can easily be slid in between artists like A-Boogie and Gunna right now. Another talented artist on the scene that I had no clue about before listening to the project for this review.
On Nite, IVRY gives us a smoothed-out track featuring artist 422 sounding a bit like Young Thug with out all the extra Thugga Thugga. My favorite track on the project, Myself, is the vibe of the album. IVRY gives us one to just ride and vibe to as he gets reflective getting out there and getting it because in the end, he just needs himself to make it happen out here. Run this one back.
Overall, the album has solid production on some good quality songs plus IVRY delivers with the bars. I would love to see IVRY switch the flow up just a little bit more on the next project and/or see him gives a little more variety. I could hear someone say that a lot of the tracks sound alike, but to me it works for him and shouldn’t be a knock on the project. Plus, at the end of it all, like IVRY’s Grandpops states on Big Ivory, “You Young Gifted and Black!” So, what else do you need. Granddaddy aint no fool.
Bottom line and question of the day; is It Dope Tho? The answer is yes. The project is a 6 on the Dope Tho Scale. Listen now and thank me later... #DopeTho #YouWelcome
