ElevtrTrax Of The Day – Lando Chill – Early In The Morning
“The hip hop America produces is the purest form, sometimes it radiates vivid colors, sometimes it lives up to the legacy through honest story tellers like Lando Chill. This new comer to the music scene has a record dropping August 12th that should come to your attention, For Mark Your Son is a tragically touching ode to his father, whom he lost at the ripe age of three, but through all that there’s an almost Phony People optimism that fills you up, lyrics like, “Got peace on my mind, kush i’m a grind, air feeling fine, ride to the arch of your spine say it’s time, cuz it’s early in the morning,” give you a longer lasting confidence that there’s more yet to learn and see.
Chicago nourished Lando Chill, only 24 years young, but the impact of the city, and the trials and tribulations well imprinted on his mind only came to fruition in his new home in Tuscon. His journey is forged well into the lyrical content, much like poetry there’s an malleable quality when you listen to what Lando Chill has to say, what’s remarkable is he still manages to have that mirroring ability when talking about losing someone so close to him, and beyond the life experiences, you can hear traces of seeds planted by Gil Scott-Heron and Pharoahe Monch.
Any stellar record is a photo album, a sound track for a motion picture, a fuzzy memory, and a dream attempting to be discovered through medium, “Early In The Morning” captures so well what For Mark Your Son is about, but with a record preview this good, the signals point everywhere, and all roads lead to home.”
