These spoken-word meets rap LPs are either game-changers or DOA for me. This is one is definitely the latter –repetitive, mumbled lyricism over default Ableton beats doesn’t push boundaries or say much artistically, it’s just insufferable to listen to. Even if Rayman was writing on a Pulitzer-level here, his flat and lifeless delivery would kill any impact on the spot.
