Product Review

A mainstay in the underground hip-hop landscape for the past 10 years, 7L & Esoteric shift gears with their 4th LP of brand new material entitled A New Dope. Just as the indie community has come to embrace the aesthetic of an M.I.A. or Dizzee Rascal, A New Dope will similarly strike a chord with both 7L & Esoteric's loyal Hip Hop fan base as well as the discerning indie/rock tastemaker. As one of the premiere emcee and producer duos in underground hip-hop, A New Dope infuses a fresh stylistic sensibility into 7L & Esoteric's distinctive brand of hip-hop, resulting in an album that is as creatively ambitious as it is palatable to the broader indie consumer.
