*DISCLAIMER: Apologies to Morph and ewonee for saying Thumbing Thru THE Foliage throughout this review. My bad!
LA-based YUNGMORPHEUS teamed up with talented producer ewonee, to drop Thumbing Thru Foliage, a project I was anticipating since I wanted to see if Morph displayed the artistic growth I was hoping for, since his very recent album in States of Precarity.
As a great producer himself, I was curious to see how a YUNGMORPHEUS album would sound without him touching the production, instead leaving it to ewonee.
I think the end result of their collaboration was very good, as ewonee's groove-heavy sound and sample choices fit Morph's sound very well. This album is littered with funky beefy baselines, soulful sample choices, and great drums that give the whole album a real effortless sense of pace.
I'm not sure if it's as a result of Morph solely focusing on the rapping, or if its just a natural progression in his artistic development, but I think Morph's rapping here is the best it ever has been. Morph finds himself in a pocket on these beats, feeding off of the groove-heavy production.
I think the styles of ewonee and YUNGMORPHEUS were a great pairing on Thumbing Thru Foliage, which I feel is bit of a step up from States of Precarity, and a few tweaks and away from being something truly amazing.
Morph is clearly on the right path though, having improved on each of his past releases, from Bag Talk to this, establishing himself as one of the stronger voices in the underground, with a knack for bottling up the anger and disdain that many folks feel towards our fucked up society.
