Everyone Shines on Owl Hours!, September 5, 2009
This review is from: Owl Hours (Audio CD)
For those who don't know - this is rapper Awol One and beat maker Factor's second collaborative album together but "Owl Hours" is far from a sophomore slump. There are a few noticeable differences here that sets "Owl Hours" apart from their previous work "Only Death Can Kill You": First being the overall change of pace on this album - while "Only Death's" beautiful production sat comfortably in the 80-90 bpm range - Owl Hours picks up the pace and most of these beats sit in the 100 bpm range with a more party friendly vibe. The second major difference here comes with the top notch cast of guest appearances that range from Aesop Rock and Myka 9 to Xzibit and B-Real - all of the guests provide inspiring energy and skill. Another major difference here is that Factor has hired a team of musicians to re-play samples and layer instrumentation like he never has before. Owl Hours is a really a landmark album for both of these musicians and I recommend it to open-minded Hip Hop Heads and Indie Rockers alike.
