Let it be known

that as soon

as you listen

and digest

and have time

to write about

an album by

Lord Jah-Monte Ogbon

he will release

another album.

This year alone,

the Charlotte, NC MC

released

a full-length

fully-produced

by beatmaking legend

SadhuGold. The track

"Linking and Buildings"

in particular

is especially bonkers

in the best of ways.

Most recently,

he released

Here, There & Everywhere

a ten song LP

further solidifying

his name as one

of the greatest out

right now. We NEED

a full-length

from him

and DJ Muggs,

or V Don,

or The Alchemist,

or Madlib.

He’s on a roll.

Damn.
