Canadian hip-hop once was a hot bed for up and coming underground rappers with swollen members leading the forefront but everyone else since them thats blown up in the canadian underground scene sound exactly like swollen members, and in the mainstream scene everyone from canada is sounding like the face of canadian music drake, thats why asun eastwoods debut e.p nimbus is a breathe of fresh air for a canadian rapper. Is his flow style delivery and contact original no, it sounds like the current go to sound of the nyc underground scene the low monotone flow visually mesmerizing gritty almost cinematic lyrics about the ganglife and drug trade made popular by acts like roc marciano and kA. That doesn't matter though since what he spits about he lives and with a different production style besides the minimalistic soft no drum instrumentals that allow listeners to curly focus on the lyrics he has a more crisp yet still gritty production style that makes this album sound refreshing. Tracks like "asuns story" a autobiographical masterpiece describing his struggles his pain the sorrow and emptiness that the loss of his brother at a young age caused him to unsettling truths about getting stabbed shot and left for dead delivered with pure emotion that you can feel though your headphones make ASUN one of the best storytellers and visionary emcees in the game today. Even when he's sharing mics with some of the best rappers into like sky zoo and conway this up and coming rapper proves he deserves to be rapping with the best. This is defiantly one of the best debut's I've heard from a new artist in a few years and I'm highly looking forward to new music by him in the upcoming future
