Johnson & Jonson - Johnson & Jonson


7/10
Although most know Blu for his projects with Exile, he has released a lot of music in the past year. He has released a couple mixtapes, and two other albums. One with Ta'Raach, and Johnson&Jonson which is his tag team with producer Mainframe.

This album consists of peculiar features in the fact that they named every feature with the last name Johnson. I don't know the secret meaning behind that idea, but it makes me laugh, and that's good enough to make me know that the album has a comedic factor to it.

In my opinion this album is very creative, especially due to the samples Mainframe chooses to use. Blu of course, as usual comes hard on every single track. His lyrical content and wordplay lace each of the tracks precisely. The only weak point I'd say in the album is some of Mainframes productions. He seems to just loop some of the songs. When I say loop, I mean play one bar over and over without adding any drums. Some of the loops are dope, but come on..... 

Here's one of the singles from the album. Enjoy.
