Review: Representing the fearless creativity of a youthful mind, Lil Jabba comes bowling fresh out of Baltimore with his own curious take on the footwork fallout on this long player for Local Talk. There's a love of highly strung melodic work throughout, at times as developed as the sumptuous orchestral opus "Maven", at others as lurid and sinister as "Raiders", but whatever the weather up top the beats stay rapid and snaking. Holding down the more jarring elements of footwork, Jabba manages to coax some truly evocative, haunting ambience in the midst of such manic drum triggering which speaks volumes for his musical instinct as much as his ability to create an energetic club banger.
