audio review : Still Rollin Up [ Somethin To Ride With ] ( album ) ... Devin The Dude

Somethin To Ride To would seem a more fitting subtitle in regard to grammar, but the concept is on point. These beats, every one of which reeks with funk, are the highlight. Devin’s laid back vocals merely accommodate. The Rollin Up bit, which works as a double entendre, has to do with how much weed he smokes. The album ends with a reggae joint called The Doobie Drop.

audio review : Acoustic Levitation ( album ) ... Devin The Dude

It’s not just about smoking weed and Gettin High. Floating up to the clouds is what Devin’s music is essentially about, but the first song on this set, appropriately titled Acoustic Levitation given what sounds like acoustic guitars being played throughout, suggests a romantic underlying. Actually it’s more sexual; The Dude loves getting pussy; and Can I sets the tone, though some of the other 1970s-soul-styled grooves are just as smooth.
