This is the 9th EP from Los Angeles host/producer AFRO. After winning the Rap Flow Defining Competition, he became a protégé of RA the Rugged Man, and with the support of Duck Down Music Inc., his fifth EP AFRO produced by Marco Polo introduces himself as a promising player in the underground music scene. Rising star. In the end, he only made feature films until he officially returned last summer and released 3 more EPs, the latest of which was “The New Colonel in Town” 5 months ago. However, he will be back to the drawing board.
The title track is a symphonic Bap opener that speaks to his feeling of being simultaneously the greatest and most underrated, while “Next 2 Shine” breaks down with more kick and snare drums and synths, and for those of you Some people really don’t know enough about him and tell everyone who doesn’t rock with him to step aside. “Wing Chun” boasts that every time he falls on the string boom instrument, things turn deadly before going down a cloudy instrumental route on “Gone 4 a Second,” admitting he’s gone from Taking time out of music.
“Behead the Beat” picks up his tempo, maintains his flourishes and the clarity seen these days in the orchestral samples, while “Old Tyme’s Sake” returns to a booming rhythm that talks about sticking to the script and refusing to change it. “Redemption” is a mix of synths and hi-hats, explaining that he found the light of his soul on a canvas of his own making, painted with Blind Toxic, EKYM1536, Felcon, Pulse Reaction, SuperBrownBum and 60 East rounding before “Battle Royale” My own story is edited out of the EP with average.
Granted, I’m not sure what happened to All Flows Reach Out before he came back last year, but The Drawing Board has to be the best EP he’s put out since he started dropping music again about a year ago & since I was in high school This is my favorite thing about him since the AFRO Polo in my graduation year. His lyrical style allows listeners to see a more personal side of himself, and his beats often follow the traditional boom bap sound.
Score: 8/10
