It’s always a pleasure to come across new music or even a new project from up and coming artist outside of the mainstream spotlight. As for Upstate New York’s own, Grand and Family Money Music rep, he has delivered his first offering, ‘Left Lane’ which houses 14 original tracks. Off the back the ‘Left Lane’ title is represented in the project’s artwork, a picture of the famous highway chase featuring the police and OJ Simpson’s Bronco.
With a name like Grand the association could refer to money, which equals a $1,000+ or Grand Theft, which would make more sense? I think that was the point because Grand could also be associated with feeling grand. Well, regardless of which, the project delivered is more important because he did his thing on all accords.
Starting off with a motivational speech from the God MC himself and leading into the first track “A Long Time Coming” it’s evident Grand has arrived and is looking to make a statement. Grasping the listeners ear almost immediately the project from beginning to end takes us on a ride.
With such records like “Take A Ride” featuring Dub, “Last of a Dying Breed” or “Mixin” to name a few, you definitely have several joints to choose from to vibe out to. I suggest just playing this from beginning to end.
