88 KEYS - DEATH OF ADAM Review



88 Keys - Morning Wood


88 Keys is a producer who took Kanye's advice of being on his tracks as well. I've always like 88 Keys works from back in the day. For people who think he's a new artist, nope he ain't. Dudes been around and is 32 years old. Only a full grown man can get away with the title Death of Adam. This album is my first purchase this year, and I bought it in the States during my last few days there. Got to fully listen to it while walking the streets of Singapore. It is a very good album. It's put together very well. The concept is ill, Adam trying to survive in Eve's world and losing. The beats are great, the featured artists did a great job (Redman, Kanye, Kid Cudi, Shitake Monkey, Phonte, Bilal). If you're looking for a way to be entertained and be reflective about how Adam is (yup that's you homie!) nowadays, pick this one up. Clever album, with a girl at the end of every song talking and connecting one song with another.


The songs will always end up with a piano -- while makes it sonically cohesive. The melodies are trippy, the samples are great and its full of sex. Smarten up, pick this record up. You'll find a situation in this CD that you might be going through. Like this song I put up here "Morning Wood" -- plain honest truth. 88 Keys makes sure the truth is also as entertaining as anything out there. 88Keys did a motherfucking good job with this album! All them players need to have this album around they house! "Now holla if you've ever been placed in hand cuffs!" Hahaha!
