Adonis & Thelonious Martin "The Lord of the West" (Album Stream)


The title track off the new LP from West Coast MC Adonis and Chicago producer Thelonious Martin was originally released through Adult Swim Singles in February, 2020. Adonis sliced through the cinematic beat like a swordsman. I'd been anticipating a full-length release ever since! The Lord of the West is now here and boasts 11 tracks (22 minutes) with no discernible features. On the heels of his collaborative project with Jacob Rochester entitled Patchworks, Thelonious returns with more inspired production that fits well in his catalog alongside a popular series of instrumental-odes to J Dilla and his production album, Wunderkid. As for Adonis, if you haven't peeped his album with NY's DJ Skizz, go ahead and dig in the archives for Logan and his I Spit On The Devil LP from the winter of 2020, too. In the meantime, give a real strong listen to The Lord of the West below...
