Album review for Who Coppin by Larry June
Honestly, I think it’s safe to say Larry June is the definition of consistent. The man has put out quality music for YEARS, and somehow he continues to retool and refresh his sound to prevent himself from sounding stagnant. This album is a very good example of that as Larry is very much adding some new elements to keep himself at the top of the game.
Luxury raps are right up Larry’s alley. I think the biggest thing is that, he’s appealing to the average person. He’s telling you that he’s a production of the game and he put the work in to get to where he is and he’s going to celebrate that success. Half of his lyrics are motivational as well. You can see how he’s telling you that you can do this shit too, regardless of what you been through. You also get that signature Larry laidback flow, as well as his melodic side too. The features are a very welcome addition. He typically doesn’t have many but Jhene’ is just an example of someone who understands the assignment.
Production wise, it’s like a 80’s and 90’s feel but with some modern day Bay Area styles and sounds mixed in too. There’s a cohesive cadence the album follows and the production enhances the lyrics and doesn’t completely take over the tracks. There are some melodies and bass hits that really just make you wanna play the tracks over so it’s really easy on the ears.
Larry has consistently shown us why he’s the face of the Bay. 49 minutes of quality music that sounds good in the car, the headphones, and even a goddamn shower speaker. There’s a reason why people never skip a Larry album. He’s just really good. Good Job Larry!
