Bishop
Nehru has been the name of the industry this year. Bishop undoubtedly has bars
for days and sounds mature for his age. Coming out at fifteen with a remarkable
debut Nehruvia, peeps in the game are hearing a lot from this kid. The lyrical cadence of a six year old from
Rockland County ring bells and put other artists back in the booth putting in
work. Now he is back with another project that describes his delivery: Strictly Flowz. Can he put another
quality album that will keep the listeners at his direction?
This album is a refreshing way to
start. The beginning of the track “Start” explains whether Bishop is an emcee
or a rapper; a test of wits to see if he can keep up in the game. The producers
on this project gel well with his lyrical flow. “Flow 1” explains why Bishop is
a beast on the microphone: I write these rhymes while you lighting nines/and
this one is for my brothas on Rikers island/no lying niggas with blonde hair, I’m
a lion/realigning the game is getting tiring The xylophone infused “Introvertz”
is an example of musical creativity as Bishop killed this track easily while “Muffled
M.I.C.” has the hard beat pattern that puts Bishop on the spot. One thing about
this album is the innovativeness is on point. Bishop loves to push the envelope
on the Raz Fresco ominous beat “Mobb Dizzle” where he switched his voice and sound
smooth on the instrumental and the other standout track “77” proves Bishop’s
point of killing competitors with a sixteen.
Overall, this project does not
suffer from the sophomore jinx at all. This project hits hard on every level.
It’s obvious that Bishop Nehru will place artists in a lyrical stretcher before
their career even started. The only problem with this project is the length on
some of the tracks and the album. The dark moody beat Herring Franky provided
on “Angel” place the beat pattern perfectly while Bishop bodied that track. Other
tracks like “96 Blueprint” and as stated before “Flow 1” are the beats that
Bishop can flow with perfection but the tracks are two minutes long which leave
fans wanting more. The thing about Bishop is he is so nice his fans want more
of him and he can easily attract new fans. The project is hard hitting
regardless in which the album and song lengths are just a minor issue that does
not suck out the consistency of the album. If you look at it quality of the
music is a big difference and some projects with only ten songs sound better
than your average fifteen plus track projects. In any case, “Strictly Flowz” is another gem and
Bishop already pushed his way through lyrical greatness. Presented by Peter
Rosenberg, this is a winning ticket for Bishop Nehru and his producers of Raz, Ghost
McGrady, Herring Franky and others. It holds up to the same consistency as Nehruvia with a contemporary twist. You
see the hunger spark from the sixteen year old from Rockland County. He is the
young artist to look out for with Strictly Flowz,
