| The new supergroup LUV NY is Roc Marciano, Kool Keith, AG & OC from D.I.T.C, Kurious and Dave Dar from Bamboo Bros & Ray West. While rap groups find it sometimes difficult to get together and meet again, why not create a new one? Luv NY is a tribute to the city's energy and its universality. While NY is no longer the same, it remains the epicenter of a specific energy, of a music and a culture, with which entire generations grew up. As the city became middle-class, NY rap lost itself in conjectures and became the prey of infighting. Luv NY brings back to this NY where all could be done and undone at a street corner. This is an album of unpretentious stories, unadorned stories, on etheral productions with a feel of memories of another city and other times. No phoned in verses, no throw back boom bap, this album is effective in its subtlety. | |
