Will Vill-The Arrival

I copped this album on a nondescript note a year or so back. Definitely did not do so because of the album art, believe that. Still, beneath the two-second Photoshop, you'll find one of the truest opuses of the '2000's. Will Vill has an special ability to articulate his thoughts with numerous literary devices that 'intellectuals' deem valuable in prose. Will Vill brings these techniques onto wax, and introduces the listener to various forms of alliteration and complex rhyme schemes. Like the first time older heads heard Rakim rhyme.
Anyway, this album is on an strong underground tip, and the production somewhat shows that it wasn't recorded on an large budget. However, Will Vill will drown out all those problems as soon as he starts putting words to the beat. This album might be a grower, but once you recognize The Arrival for the classic that it is, you'll regret that Mr. Vill hasn't done much since.
