Put into a 2 part 2 sided LP, the 1st half being represented as more comparable to Detroit hip hop, more raw and rugged. While tracks 9 and after are more experimental jams, and collaborations with Ever Evolved artists and affiliates, like Jai The Artist, Cockykidd, Moonlight, Lazzey B. Floe & RhymSter. The difference is subtle, and it will be interesting to see what he has planned to follow up.
Starting you off with, Okay Cool, a kind of in your face track, Big Homie lets you know he peeps game as he plans n prepares for bigger things. The second track Like That, he lets you know he gets what he wants, by any means! It all starts making sense as you see the following track is titled I Love Shit Talkin’. Big Homie does a vs track with his first feature of the LP with Kev.O, the two boasting their bravado in their verses. He mellows it down with a smoking jam called Wimme, with a down South type beat, you almost expect to hear Curren$y on the next verse.
He finishes of side-A strong with Questions and instantly jumps into a melodic boom bap style beat with CockyKidd. Big Homie and the Kidd easily pick up after eachother, the chemistry is apparent! Moonlight joins the next beat with The Top, this track is more low tempo and moody, with femenine vocals complimenting a low bass and percussion instruments. Lazzey B Floe enters the arena on Who Is This, you can detect change up in Big Homie’s flow. Fast is his most experimental beat so far, with a lot of electro synth in between hip hop beat patterns. If Big Homie continues in this type of direction with his new music, in the latter half of B4 The Smoke, you can expect some huge growth in his talent and journey in music.
