For NehruvianDOOM, impressed mentor (MF Doom) meets talented newcomer
with a jones for the old boom-bap (Bishop Nehru) and a project is born,
although maybe not fully launched. Sound of the Son is too short to
consider fleshed-out as it runs eight tracks without the trippy intro,
and oddly enough, when young wordsmith Nehru gets in reflective story
mode ("So Alone," "Coming for You"), producer Doom cuts the power before
these tracks cross the three-minute mark. Still, his productions are
more beautifully broken than previously, and with the aptly titled
"Great Things," he's reached a new pop plateau with one of his most
sunshine-bright beats to date. The chemistry is way above a mash-up, and
this May/December posse is certainly an interesting mix; just don't
expect a Madvillain-sized sense of purpose from this short and sweet blast.
