Lambo Anlo – Throw Dat X Rydah (Prod. by Rick Flare, Tweezay)

May 14, 2015 JUKEBOXDC Staff Current, Editorials, Hip-Hop/Rap, Local, Music, R&B No Comments  

Rapper and singer Lambo Anlo might be on your radio waves soon. The Capitol Heights upstart put out the amazing, introspective Lamborghini Luciano mixtape earlier this year, with beats from Logic’s in-house producer 6ix matching his story-telling and hyperactive flows. After a few freestyles (like his popular take on Drake’s “10 Bands,”) Lambo seems to be focusing more on singing with two great new singles, “Rydah” and “Throw Dat.”

“Rydah” has a simple, acoustic guitar-drive beat from his engineer Tweezay. The beat allows Lambo to sing a dedication to his main girl. The song is original, without the usual signs of a bad pop track. Its effortlessly low key, upbeat and lacks the words “bitch, hoe” or anything else derogatory, without seeming forced. This is the type of song you want to hear on the radio.

Lambo finds a great combination of auto-tuned crooning and an airy pop beat on “Throw Dat,” produced by Rick Flare. Yes, it’s another song about a girl, but so are most radio songs. The track is another effortless radio tune, something everyone can listen to.

Don’t be surprised to hear these songs elsewhere too. I wouldn’t be surprised to hear these songs everywhere.

Domestic Violence should never be taken lightly and rap group 495 reminds of us of the hard truth about Domestic Violence in their new track Lord Knows. Each memeber in 495 tells a personal story on Lord Knows about Domestic Violence, promoting awareness on the situation and motivating women who may be going through the samething to get out before its to late. “Lord Knows”opens up the door for the conversation. I would love for you to consider this for your site and to give me some feedback.
