Dom Kennedy & Hit-Boy (Half-A-Mill) - Also Known As (Album)
When Dom & Hit-Boy come together for Half-A-Mil, they always sound like a full mil, "Also Known As" might be their magnum opus as a duo, an intelligent display of braggadocio that's warranted after years of remaining steadily on the incline.
Dom is as insightful as ever in his lyrics, offering lessons through testimonials over soundscapes that are authentically west coast & authentically him. He's here to uplift with his story; it's a been a long time coming for him & still, he's establishing dominance, keeping the spirits of those fallen alive.
With appearances from 03 Greedo, 24hrs & even Nas on a very unexpected but welcoming collab, the duo knows what works & they deliver on that formula for another dose of authenticity & independence. Another excellent contribution to the west coast, their catalog & the culture as a whole.
