Following up on the buzz created by the bleary and noir-ish single
"Forgotten Dreams", the duo of
Cole Nibbe and
Howie Wonder now unleash their gritty debut album
Immemorial on the world. As a unit the two man team have mastered the art of making visceral-yet-introspective hip hop music that bangs. Listeners looking for care-free rhymes over breezy beats, take note:
Cole Nibbe's withering delivery and
Howie Wonder's nocturnal boom-bap production
may will feel menacing at first. However, taking the time to delve into the great deal of concepts and ideas being laid out on this album really pays off in the end. On
Immemorial,
Cole Nibbe & Howie Wonder construct an impressive set of raw-edged hip hop tracks and push the genre forward in the same way that acts like
Cannibal Ox and
Qwel & Maker did with their debut LP's
. Standout cuts include
"Forgotten Dreams", "Since Time Immemorial", "Repeat" and
"You Ain't in Love".
