This album made positive vibrations when it dropped in the middle of last month, so it’s only right that Word Is Bond gives it some light in case anyone missed out.
Beats and scratches are handled by the multi-instrumentalist and hip-hop producer IV The Polymath, whilst the vocals are laid down by Buffalo, NY emcee Jondis. The production never lets down and constantly remains fresh and interesting throughout, strongly showcasing IV’s expertise and experience with live instrumentation. Lyrically, the album is very relateable, humorous and above all genuine, in that Jondis doesn’t rely on hyperbole or façades to grab your attention. Despite this refreshing touch, I found myself revisiting tracks for the beats, rather than the rhymes.
