the new ty album on big dada 'closer'

heard some of this, well i heard all of it, just not in depth. production ranges from broken beatish stuff (id like to hear him more on this type of thing, more uptempo, more frisky) to retro future 80s synthy stuff to obviously (but well done) j dilla beats, to one or two boring old school hip hop plodders. ty seems quite good overall, a bit too lightweight and he seems to have purposely made himself even more simpler, which isnt too great IMO but hey, hes not terrible by any means. few too many sing song choruses i reckon, way too many guests (a lot of which are american, which would be fine, if they didnt seem to routinely sound so much better than their host does on the same tracks, sorry ty, or maybe its just that their styles are diff - just see how much more fluid speech sounds compared to ty on their track together), but overall this is pretty good. shame ty gives so much time to other people on it though, makes it hard to see that its really his album and his alone.....
