Up-and-coming
rapper Bluehomie has released his second full-length album,
“Dreamare,” to resounding critical acclaim
United Kingdom rap artist Bluehomie has
returned with “Dreamare,” his first full-length release since
2010's “Under the Knife” LP. The record is an earnest return to
the lyrical styles of classic '80s rappers, who in those pre-
parental advisory days could
manage to write an entire album without relying on the boring sucker
punches of repetitive profanity. Bluehomie's beats and melodies are
straightforward and infectious in the tradition of his early hip-hop
predecessors, with enough space in the music to keep his rhymes at
the forefront where they belong, rather than buried in a morass of
autotuned synth choruses and twitchy, hyperactive cyberdrums. These
qualities, however, do not belie a vintage sound overall.
Bluehomie's
loops have more in common with the underground beat junkies of the
new millennium than the dated whistles and scratches of yesteryear,
his lyrical syncopation more reminiscent of Eminem than of the
Beastie Boys. His lyrical content is more sophisticated, also,
without ever seeming pretentious. Bluehomie's “Dreamare” is a
record about perseverance, romance, and his love/hate relationship
with the music industry, an ever-more-common theme among modern
songwriters. Of his lyrics, Bluehomie only says, “I set
out to write meaningful, intelligent and satirical material.”
Though his focus is
obviously on high-octane wordplay, the generous album (comprised of
fully 17 tracks!) is not entirely rap and features ballads and
dance-club compositions, which unlikely amalgam provides just as
seamless a listen from one track to the next as a Beethoven symphony.
Bluehomie
got his start in hip-hop during his schooldays in North London, but
did not emerge professionally until his third year of Mechanical
Engineering at King's College London. His first release was the
obligatory introductory EP, which he called “Mature,” released in
2009. This was followed by a full-length record in 2010 entitled
“Under the Knife,” which also showcased his versatility by
including rap and dance tracks as well as ballads, and even a Greek
Hip-Hop number, just, as Bluehomie says, “for good measure.”
