PATEK - LandoLyrical (Rap) LandoLyrical and Twelveprimetime bring a low key rap groove about their focus and drive with latest record “PATEK”. It’s an understated production with some heavily verbed keys and crisp percussion giving the impression of a cavernous space, which helps to give an ominous feeling to the track. That space is made to center the vocals which dominate the production, as the distinct flows of LandoLyrical and Twelveprimetime push through the verb to tell the the listeners that they are solely focused on the hustle. There’s a Fugees vibe to the pairing, with effective yet restrained earcandy from a few vocal callouts, octave drop layering and small little touches that, together with the production, make sure the focus is never away from the vocals and the lyrics. All in all, the message is clear—these two are on the rise and you best step out the way.

Best Lyric: “We the new aliens’.”
