Follow on Google News | ![]() The Legion - Three The Bronx Way (Album)Veteran Rap Trio Unite for First Full Length LP in 25 Years!
By: Legion Records The record's strengths are apparent as soon as it starts, with Molecules providing a sample-laced, "Intro" with cuts supplied by DJ Eclipse that segues perfectly into the chest-pounding "Word." It's a straight-up banger full of tough talk with a notable guest appearance from Sadat X. The album rides this wave of momentum through the end, and while the credit for that absolutely goes to all three emcees, it's impossible to not shout out Molecules for his phenomenal production chops (save for the Venom-produced title track, which 'Cules credits as his favorite track). Whether it's the snarls of the Noir Rap lead single "1980 Something" or the middle-finger bravado of "Heard We Quit (feat. Droopy Dog)," Three The Bronx Way delivers on its promise of being "the original Bronx soundtrack" as noted on the album artwork. It's a raw, no-punches-pulled listen that also features a strong vibe of authenticity— Speaking to that point, Diceman feels that their time off as a group allowed them to mature and better understand the business side of things. "It allows us to have the freedom to create and become our own machine," he said. "We knew that day would come, and with that day being here, our Independence will allow us to be consistent." With one listen to Three The Bronx Way—yes, it's an homage to the 1974 Blaxploitation classic, Three The Hard Way—it's clear that Hip-Hop heads with a penchant for Street Rap will have something to keep on repeat. Here's hoping this is just the start of what The Legion has for us in 2019.
