Eastern Medicine, Western Illness

by Preservation

supported by

LunaMonk Solid album. Fave track: cure for the common and children of never

junclassic The beats on this album got that Cinematic feel to em. billy goes HAM on Lemond Grinds. Roc slaughters what sounds like something off a Castlevania with Medicine Drawer. And Ka BODIES Cure for the Commoner that Preservation laces with the crazy beat change up i didn't see coming.
Favorite: Cure for the Commoner feat Ka.

ants The production is just phenomenal Favorite track: I-78 / Capillaries (feat. Mach-Hommy).

This album happens to come at a time where the Western world (America especially) shows expertly why the culture has such disease. Amidst the killing of George Floyd (Rest in Power). and the nationwide reaction to such and many other black lives taken by police it offers some solace and plenty display of black creatives giving their talents. Favorite track: I-78 / Capillaries (feat. Mach-Hommy).

The reunion of Mach-Hommy and Westside Gunn is one that was overdue but well worth the wait. West's curational abilities are on point here as the beat selection is fantastic and Mach-Hommy delivers several amazing performances whether he's dropping intricate lyrics or singing. His usual embrace of his Haitian identity and Haitian Creole is the cherry on top, giving "Pray For Haiti" Mach's personal touch/flair. stef
