Review by Right2 Love

Dark Lo and V Don's latest collaboration, Timeless, showcases the Philadelphia rapper's gritty, street-oriented lyricism and the New York producer's knack for crafting lush, sample-based beats. The album's title is fitting, as its sound and subject matter harken back to a bygone era of East Coast hip-hop.

The opening track, "Direct," sets the tone with its ominous piano loops and Dark Lo's menacing flow. He delivers vivid descriptions of the harsh realities of life in the streets, over V Don's soulful production. "Lambo Truck" features fellow Philly rapper Benny the Butcher, who matches Dark Lo's intensity with his own vivid rhymes.

The album's standout track is "Ripped Apart," which features the late Prodigy of Mobb Deep. Prodigy's verse is a haunting reminder of his lyrical prowess, and his chemistry with Dark Lo is undeniable. The track also features a haunting vocal sample that adds to the overall atmosphere of the song.

Other notable tracks include "Roy Jones" and "Dayton," which both feature Dark Lo's vivid storytelling and V Don's ear for cinematic production. The album's only misstep is "Hollows," which features a lackluster guest verse from rapper Dave East.

Summary by Right2 Love

Timeless is a strong addition to both Dark Lo and V Don's respective catalogs. It's a cohesive project that showcases the duo's chemistry and their commitment to preserving the gritty, street-oriented sound of classic East Coast hip-hop.
