Lunar C Gives All Praise to the “Most High” for His Blah Records Debut (Album Review)
Lunar C is a 33 year old MC from Bradford, West Yorkshire, England, United Kingdom making his debut in 2010 with The Lunar CD. He would go on to drop 3 more full-lengths as well as 4 mixtapes & a couple of EPs, also becoming 1/2 of Off World Vehicle & 1/6 of the Fly Tippers. However, he’s signed to Blah Records & is ready to make his debut for the popular London imprint in the form of his 6th studio album with Jack Chard from Nobodies Home & Jack Danz behind the boards.
After the into, the first song “Rasputin” begins with him talking about moving backwards ever since his parents went 2 on a bastard whereas “Contact High” featuring the Antiheroes finds the trio linking up to speak of smoking weed & making the same mistakes daily. “Kill the Rich” talks about there being no need to talk to him if it ain’t a G or more prior to “In the House” yearning for him to stay inside with his girl for a whole entire day.
“Cursed” nears the end of the 1st half talking about being sent to do their devil’s work just before “Troubled Mind” featuring the Super Sag Bros dismantling rappers who sound dishonest to them & only taking their bitches if they’re down for it. The title track gets the 3rd quarter talking about praising God & being stoned to the point where he can’t make up his own mind while “Any Given Wednesday” featuring Jehst discusses not bragging of their greatness because they’re better than that.
Jack Danz joins Lunar C on the mic for “Never Lose” referencing WWE CBO & former WWE Women’s Champion Stephanie McMahon but after “Hit Me Up” tells the people who need anything from him to call him anytime they want unless you don’t offer him shit, “Y.M.S.R.I.T.B. (Your Mom Smokes Rollies In The Bath)” featuring Lee Scott brings the pair together so they can talk about sitting on their own throne in the clouds & smacking people harder than Joe Jackson for moving incorrectly.
“Nate Diazepam” featuring Lefty & P Solja nears the Most High’s conclusion with the trio can get in their Fly Tipper bags & refusing to sell out for “Proud” talks about taking pride in who he is despite him changing your life for the worst if you let him. “Switch Up” however spends the last couple minutes of the LP dropping a whole entire verse describing the bud in his joint to be fruitier than Lil Uzi Vert on top of doing this for his comrades, compadres & for himself to help through the dark days.
Blah Records warned us in advanced that his fan would be wondering why one of the biggest UK hip hop labels in recent memory hadn’t bring them on board their roster sooner & they weren’t kidding considering Most High makes a huge leap in quality compared to all of his independent material. Jack Chard & Jack Danz’ production covers a lot of different ground stylistically & C brings a mix of Tipper Gang brethren & Blah labelmates to help recapture his signature blend of cutthroat humor & abstract bars.
Score: 7/10
