Legends II: Life N Times Of Salamander Jones by Hollis (Houma, Louisiana) *
If you’ve been reading Dingus the last few weeks, you’ve seen an influx of hip-hop landing on our front page. Now, it’s Hollis bringing the beats. Filled with social rage, Legends II, has it’s slow moments that shed light on the human qualities we all desperately hide when posing for album covers. The album is filled with wonderfully warm tones, unfamiliar to most rappers, that give it a quality hard to match without sounding like a pussy. Maybe it comes from a deep acknowledgment of melodic power, or maybe it’s just instinct. Whatever, it works. Some of the samples are hard sells, but again, whatever, it works. [Free Download] Dingus
