indie-only purple vinyl version - A solid serving of meat-and-potatoes rap, the duo’s first full-length joint project thrives on a sense of comfort and familiarity more often than not. Brown’s beats soothe as much as they shake and rattle, anchored by familiar sample choices and boosted by Stalley’s game-for-anything presence. Their commitment to fine-tuning hip-hop fundamentals has earned them each a loyal fanbase, including Power actor Omari Hardwick, who spits a mesmerizing poem on closing track “Omari’s Lament.” Blacklight isn’t an experiment like Brown’s Anchovies or a glossy fast-paced effort like Stalley’s Tell the Truth Shame the Devil series, but the duo plays to their strengths by meeting each other in the middle.
