Vibbar - Lost & Found

 Lost & Found by Vibbar

Vibbar's "Lost & Found" is easily one of my favourite projects so far this year. This album is a showcase of the collective's versatility and range, featuring a diverse selection of tracks that will leave you in awe. From the nostalgic and soulful production of "11PM" to the energetic and entertaining "Like Dat" featuring Jme, Vibbar takes you on a journey through their creative world and demonstrates their mastery of multiple genres. The use of samples in the production is a standout feature, and the lyrics are thought-provoking and clever, highlighting the group's wit and humour. 

One of my favourite tracks on the project is "Session 11-2-2017," which showcases their ability to switch effortlessly from soulful samples to harsh, grimy drums. The track "Paris" is also one of the stand-outs, with its garage-y production and entertaining bars reminding me of the early days of So Solid Crew. "Deadweight" is probably my favourite track on the project, with its grimy and energetic vibe that had me throwing up gun fingers from start to finish.

The album closes with the reflective "Makeshift," delivering bars with clarity and ease and showcasing the group's ability to reflect on the past and present with a nostalgic yet hopeful outlook.

Overall, "Lost & Found" is a true testament to Vibbar's growth as a collective and what can happen if pursue art as a creative endeavour rather than a business.
