ALBUM REVIEW: SLEEP (Cincinnati, OH) – Lockland 95 "the story of us"

    Sleep presents LOCKLAND 95  “the story of us” a truly unique original Album like no other we came across.  Right off the bat you can notice the track titles which are all names of people who Sleep is rapping about.  Along side the storytelling concept about his journey living his life in Lockland, OH back in 1995, really showcases his talent not just as an MC but as a true musician when it comes to music in general.  Indeed a true original and possibly a trend setter Album format to say the least for Hip Hop.  Thinking outside the box and taking a risk to push something completely different really takes tons of creativity from a Hip Hop MC.

As you listen to this Album each track is introduced with a brief story about the titled person, which allows listeners to really paint a solid picture in their heads before each song, almost like if you are watching a movie but only in your mind in Lockland, OH.  As everyone knows already we here at the BLOG hate to single out tracks on a solid Album.  But tracks like “Jeremy“, “Donnie“, & “Rev Williams”  are stand out tracks we recommend for all listeners to really absorb and appreciate Sleep’s Hip Hop writing ability……………UndergroundHipHopBLOG.com
