Sure, right here is the tenth solo LP from Brooklyn, New York veteran Joell Ortiz. Rising after being featured within the Unsigned Hype column of The Supply over 2 a long time in the past, he went on to signal to Aftermath Leisure for a quick time period earlier than leaving to drop his official debut The Brick: Bodega Chronicles underneath MNRK Music Group. I can also’t overlook to say when Slaughterhouse rose to prominence off their self-titled debut, which led Eminem signing the supergroup to Shady Information a decade in the past already. Sadly, their main label debut welcome to: OUR HOUSE that got here out the subsequent summer time would sadly find yourself being their final & everybody has been doing their very own factor since. The Heatmakerz producing W.A.R. (With All Respect) grew to become my favourite solo effort of his shortly and hoped the identical for Love, Peace & Trauma.

“PTSD” produced by The Heatmakerz opens the album by by no means wanting again on the place Yaowa suggests everybody who come across the similar neck of the woods as him to look again & always remember the place they got here from whereas “Ambidextrous” picks up by telling us the place he stands earlier than us to this very day. “Undefeated” soulfully talks about wanting as much as the sky to God he’s all in whereas “Make It By” takes off a chipmunk soul route wanting again on the way in which he’s been dealing with trauma since he was a child.

The Housing Authority Rap District a.okay.a. H.A.R.D. reunites alongside Grafh throughout “On My Personal” speaking in regards to the recreation being stuffed with bums & jokes as of late whereas “The Crosswalk” admits to as we speak being a kind of days the place he’d pinch himself to see if he’s really nonetheless right here residing within the second when he’s. “By no means Overlook” that includes Locksmith suggests to not converse out the neck whereas “Thy Neighbor” that includes Nucci Reyo talks in regards to the world hating them.

“Can’t Reside With out Your Love” references WWE Corridor of Famer & former WWE Tag Workforce Champion Brutus Beefcake main into “The Yaowa” embracing a chipmunk soul vibe to debate catching as much as himself as he will get older & wiser main into “Wandering” speaking about nervousness making you be taught or preserving you attentive. “Smile” soulfully speaks of being constructed of affection whereas “Pen, Pad & a Dream” displays on all he had.

Some have been disenchanted by W.A.R. (With All Respect) final fall due to the quantity of company on it though I nonetheless take into account it to be a excessive level in Joell Ortiz, however I assure that almost all of these individuals are gonna be gravitating in the direction of Love, Peace & Traumaas compared. It ought to be famous that The Heatmakerz solely deal with 70% of the manufacturing versus your entire factor, but it’s very a lot on par with the earlier full-length & the identical may be mentioned relating to Yaowa’s pen.
