The last time I heard from Noah Vinson was on the profound,thought provoking My generations theme song and once I got a whiff of his latest cut I knew homie wasn’t horsing around with this here gift. Seems he keeps getting better with every release, dope beats with equally dope rhymes to match. On his newest effort ‘Birthplaces‘ Noah pays tribute to his hometown, the big apple over this smooth head nodding RnB sample by producer Sirplus. I need not reiterate that it’s a very solid way to kick off 2014.

Tune in and get with the program.

Vinson describes this record as an audible trip through New York City and the very attitude and essence of hip-hop culture. You can close your eyes, listen to it and literally see the city and its people as vividly and as profound as it is described. Vinson & Sirplus nail everything from a fantastically put together hard-hitting boom-bap beat, witty wordplay, and a very rhythmic flow and catchy chorus covering all aspects of a truly great emcee and producer.
