Comments: The great Bard once asked, "What's in a name?" As it turns out, there's a lot in Theophilus London's case. He provides an intricate performance befitting his name, using his technical rhyming prowess, borrowing melody and affectation from countless genres and lumping his beats with the electro-rap craze of the past. Like Drake and others in the same league, London has been riding on the fame and recognition received from his mixtape catalog, not to mention the company he keeps with Mark Ronson and Damon Albarn. Regardless, this rapper is living up to his one-of-a-kind name with an album that is just as "simultaneously retro and forward-thinking."
If you're in the mood for some retro-beats that blend hip hop and New Wave, try tracks 4, 6 and 10.
