New music video by Living legends, from their album The Gathering.
If you don’t know about the Living Legends, you should know one thing: The guys are grinders. Driven by a love for rhyme and a hard working mentality, the rhymers from L.A. and The Bay have redefined underground West Coast for years. So, while on their scheduled “off-time” between albums, they managed to tour extensively and create new material. The Double L is back with a serving for its fans and newcomers on The Gathering EP. It should be noted that every emcee spits on every track. Murs, Lucky, The Grouch, Aesop, Bicasso, Sunspot Jonz, Scarub and Eligh share the mic to make every song.
At times, there is a cohesive flow that can be attributed to the age old cliché of “good chemistry.” The Legends are known for having a bond like a band of brothers and this album befits the description.
The Gathering showcases versatility in flows and topical choice as noted, but also in their beat selection. They go from the mellow sounds of “Luva Changer” to the Latin rhythms in “Samba.” They go from the hard percussion in the title track to the commercially viable “She Wants Me.” By crafting the EP at the famous Encore Studios, there is a much improved quality to the sound of the Legends. This only reinforces their talent by providing a proper sound, much different from the old hiss-filled Gypsy cuts.
This EP encompasses a lot of what The Living Legends have always been about. It showcases the intelligent and the ignorant. It discusses groupie love, real love, hate and anger, providing social/political dialogue and some straight up raw rap. It’s the good and the bad. It’s old school Legends with a newer sound. The Gathering proves that the crew can still unite to make ill material. Even with the missteps, there is no denying that this group can work together to continue an underground legacy that has already reached many fans on a worldwide level. As an appetizer, it certainly shows that, if there is more where this came from, the main course may be worth the wait. New music video by Living legends, from their album The Gathering.
