I'd like to suggest an album name change, Mr. Chameleon...
Maturity and Progression more accurately describes the new album from T.D., which shows us just how far he's come from his early Mecca Records days. The album's first offering, "Chameleon" is littered with many Eminem-esque ad libs and happens to be one of the album's key tracks. T.D. takes us head first into his new life with "Love Tonight", a Dubstep influenced cut that demonstrates his ability to take a break from the tongue-tying, multi-syllable rhymes and produce a genre-bending love song.
T.D. returns to normal form, however, giving us a long list of phrases that rhyme with "commonplace prerogative" on the album's title track. From here, the "U.F.O." rapper takes the fast lane to what I like to call The T.D. Experience. Get your thinking caps ready, gentlemen.
I highly suggest getting your rewind button ready for the rest of the album, as you'll need to listen to every word several times from here on out to get the full experience. Quite possibly my favorite track on the album, "Don't Worry" has a catchy, uplifting hook that will surely get stuck in your head for the rest of the day.
"Nebuli and spaceships, this crazy sh*t, it's Vegas!!"
The album's single, "Shine" is a hard hitting record that confidently throws open the doors for T.D.'s return. The energy displayed on this track is undeniable and I can't help but yell out, "OHH!!" as the chorus hits.
The much anticipated sequel to "Creatures Lie Here" lives up to all the hype. Turning the Slaughterhouse track into his own, T.D. delivers another dark tale that's sure to leave you checking under your bed for weeks. "Mr. Daydreamer" is one of the lyrically stronger tracks on the album, leaving me to reminisce about the old days of T.D. and I sitting in my dorm room demo-ing our latest tracks for each other.
Three bonus tracks bring the album to an end, "Stay Schemin'" being my personal favorite. A new, more confident T.D. emerges in For The People, giving us a fresh look at what the Mecca Records artist has been up to in between his collaborations with the CEO. Check out the single for now and don't forget to download the album on Tuesday, May 14th!
Listen to "Shine"!
