Rapsody | Laila’s Wisdom
Jamla/Roc Nation | Official Store | Amazon | iTunes
According to Jesse Ducker: “All of Rapsody’s previous work has represented a lead up to Laila’s Wisdom, a fully realized work of musical art where she expertly tackles a wide range of topics and employs many different lyrical styles. For production, 9th Wonder remains her primary muse, but she also employs fellow Jamla affiliates Khrysis and Eric G., as well as past collaborator Nottz. The resulting sound is both soulful and mature, evoking alternately feel-good and pensive vibe....It’s always exciting to see an emcee that worked on honing her craft for close to a decade make the necessary big leap to become a truly dope hip-hop artist. Laila’s Wisdom is now the end of Rapsody’s beginning, and hopefully she will continue to establish herself as one of the strongest and freshest voices in hip-hop. But in the short term, it’s good just to hear an ambitiously great album from an artist who has truly come into her own.”
