Live and Let Fly

Live and Let Fly

A mere glance at DJ.Fresh’s extensive discography reveals a who’s who of hip-hop greatness, covering a wide range of rappers, from respected Bay Area mainstays to national gems like Curren$y and Jay Worthy. Reaching from coast to coast, the Oakland-based producer now taps Bronx spitter The Musalini for a full-length collaboration. Its title a nod both to Bond films and a Kool G Rap classic, Live and Let Fly combines sleek beats with lifestyle rhymes. While obvious commonalities exist between this album and the Tonite Show don’s other recent releases, the dozen songs contained within stand out thanks to the two artists’ cohesive interplay. The Musalini’s laidback delivery over the soul-powered boom-bap cut “Polo Scarf” and the quiet storm-informed “Red Eye” enhance the cinematic nature of the project. To that end, guests like Denver’s own O FINESS on the title track and veteran MC Planet Asia on “Players Ball” help make it a movie worth revisiting again and again.
