Hip-hop is a genre that has been experiencing a great reemergence in recent years because of the many brilliant artists that are rising through the industry, aided by breakthroughs in music technology, skill, marketing prowess, and promotional abilities. One musical prodigy who has thrived in those areas is Lambo Lawson, a hip-hop artist with a story to tell the world.
Lambo Lawson is a fast-rising musical artist who has been gaining momentum in the hip-hop industry since 2018. Starting his venture in the industry early, he began investing in his skills at 15 and has dedicated himself to learning the craft. His avid followers and constant listeners would notice his growth through his discography.
The gifted hip-hop artist was born in Philadelphia, raised in New Jersey, and now resides in Portland, Oregon. Just last month, he launched an 18-track album titled “Phoenix,” and it has fans craving more from the rising superstar. With over 3,000 monthly listeners, the hip-hop performer is gaining momentum in building his brand and music. Lambo’s out-of-this-world beat selection and his lyrical ability make him stand out in the Portland music scene and the national conversation.
The album Phoenix expresses his story. It is filled with energetic moments and has no dead air, unlike other hip-hop albums, where you lose energy after listening to two or three songs because they already sound the same. The album’s cohesive story is more evident on the second and third listens.
The ability of one artist to make great music in multiple subgenres of rap makes this project stand out. Lambo Lawson is establishing his name in the Portland rap scene, and it would not come as a surprise if he gained a national audience and following. With creativity, consistency and determination, this young artist has great potential and will go a long way in the industry.
Lambo Lawson started the album with a song titled “When I Was 15,” shocking listeners by bringing a large amount of energy and giving them a taste of what more to expect from the project. Quick transitions and flows match the high-speed high-pitch production on the record, making for a perfect workout song or hype track. The second song features legends Slimesito, Dee Aura and Matt Ox. Debatably the song with the most commercial appeal on the album, Lawson delivers one of his best verses to date. Near the midpoint of the tape, he begins to slow it down and show a different side of himself. With more melody-based singing over synth trap production, this vibe comes to the forefront on track 8, “Higher Than a Mountain,” followed by the “Ignite (Interlude),” which symbolizes the natural transition his music and craft have taken.
It’s rare for an artist in the current era of hip-hop to deliver such a diverse body of work that encompasses many niche styles currently growing in popularity. With a true rap core mentality, Lambo Lawson is able to bring melodic choruses and pop patterns to life through his performances and recorded music.
