Artist Spotlight: TV Shines
Recently, I've been listening to the unique old school style of underground artist TV of Norfolk, Virginia. I've only gotten a chance to listen to the Supreme Supreme album which seems to take the listener through a story with the help of lines taken out from the 1988 Film Coming to America. The album has a lot of old school hip hop influence coming from Q-tip, SWV, and Lupe just to name the evident.
I'm personally not a fan of some of the vocals on the album and feel as though some of the tracks could do without, BUT overall I like his sound and I do appreciate the story line, the old school feel, and the attempt to mix in how music used to be.
My favorite track on this album would have to be (obviously) Michael Young History Jr. which is a branch off of Lupe Fiasco's The cool from his Food & Liquor Album.
One thing that was accomplished with Supreme Supreme? It's not predictable.
"...95% of the people you hear are predictable. You never know what to expect from me and I enjoy that."
