Xperience

Brad at CD Baby
After \"Intro (Prayer),\" the pensive and calculated preamble that kicks off this dark but ear-grabbing blend of thick beats and dense raps, the focus that drives this affair becomes clear: \"Let my words be the vessel to the threshold of your mind,\" Xperience urges on \"Wrekon,\" offering both insight into his game plan and the route he needs to take to get there. Fusing a laid back style with subject matter that is anything but, these are songs that demand an investment from your ears and your mind. The beats make it easy; the words pose a challenge. A spiritual undertone rides through the 15 tracks, like you\'re watching the journey of a man who\'s fed up with contradictions searching for answers that might not even be there. But he\'s trying, and it\'s the struggle that\'s so intriguing. This is serious business, but his valiant wordplay and knack for diction and timing keep it from ever getting bogged down. Plus, he\'s not afraid to let loose. On \"Two to Tango,\" the beat bounces a bit, echoing the uplifting vibe of the cut, and \"The People\'s Anthem\" works a bit of soul into the mix, making a smooth chaser for the ambitious lyrics that are laid on top. Strong-willed and potent with the words, this is hip hop that strives to open up your mind.
