This isn't the first time we're treating our ears to the powerful musical stylings of Lyndon Laveaux, and it won't be the last. We're thrilled to introduce what might be his most complex work yet, a powerhouse 5-track EP entitled Alchemy.
Deeply influenced by the diverse music of the 80s, Lyndon Laveaux has a profound connection with the power of words. With early influences from friends like Ruben Raymond and The Track Burnaz, he journeyed to become an MC and was later influenced to pursue his passion for spoken word and hip-hop. Today, he's basking in it, and projects like Alchemy are just the beginning of his adventurous music career.
The EP's intro track "CHECKMATE" pounces through our speakers with authority, thanks to heavy hip-hop drums, eerie synths, and Lyndon Laveaux's attention-commanding flow. It's clear he ain't playing checkers but chess, making strategic moves to navigate his career and trusting God's plan in the process. It's a killer of an opener, and if the rest of the project is anything like "CHECKMATE," then we're in for a treat.
"TIME"...it's against us, but Lyndon Laveaux takes it by the horns in the EP's second track. With hell's bells ringing in the background, the production swells into this fiery, heavy-hitting atmosphere that commands our attention with every beat. Lyndon Laveaux takes the wheel to discuss the fakes, the snitches, and his commitment to remaining a student of the game. The self-proclaimed 'prince of flow' keeps our attention locked from top to bottom, leading into the project's third tune.
As we approach the year's end, Lyndon Laveaux uses this track to reflect on the wins and lessons learned. "23" kicks off with a melodic synth arrangement that paves the way for a phat beat that rumbles through our speakers. The wicked production, paired with Lyndon Laveaux's confident bars, make this track absolutely irresistible. Consider it your next hype song; bring it to the gym, the party, or even before a big game. Just expect to be pumped UP.
Turning the lights down a bit, Lyndon Laveaux ups the ambiance and intimacy in track number four, "TRUTH." With a sweet piano melody lingering in the background, Lyndon Laveaux hops on the ferocious beat and makes some...seductive promises to someone special. The overall dark and mysterious tone leaves our speakers steaming, and his poised vocal performance is the cherry on top. It's a deep dive into Lyndon Laveaux's personal sphere, rounded out with honest emotion and desire.
Hitting play on the 2-minute outro track, Lyndon Laveaux wastes no time jumping into "KING." The lively beat brings us the best of modern hip-hop, and we're here for the ride. Lyndon Laveaux makes it known that he can be anything he sets his mind to, and that notion is infectious. It's naturally inspiring to any listener, prompting you to get up, get out, and seize the day. Who knows, maybe you'll be the next "KING," but you'll have to fight Lyndon Laveaux for the crown.
