When We Were Young, by Akira The Don

When We Were Young

by Akira The Don

supported by

glovetheglove If I had to describe this album in one word, it would be: FRESH. This album has so many pleasant surprises and is dense in its witty lyrics and wild production that it still feels modern even 13 years later. HIGHLY recommend giving the whole thing a couple listens to really let his work wash over you. Favorite track: Hypocrite.

Gaiazarus Mr. Donovan (and everyone else whom helped create this album), I have to say, thank you. This album reaches to speak out against our global systemic inefficiencies that declare they are in place to protect us (when undoubtedly they only exist to support the pockets of the few), young love, and the dreariness of adulthood. This album should stand out as a threshold that other artists should have to attempt to meet when manifesting lyrical art. Favorite track: 1234567.
