SAINT LYOR - Talking Drums
Today, Representing Massachusetts, we have Van Buren’s very own SAINT LYOR with his latest offering Talking Drums. In a delightfully haphazard cadence, SAINT LYOR delivers a vocal performance which, eluded to by the records title, is percussive in nature. While creating a whirlwind of in-your-face bars and boasting accolades is not a new concept in hip-hop, LYOR is impressively able to articulate his thoughts into words and phrases that feel fresh, and unearthed. I’m a huge fan of this staple which is part of Van Buren Tuesdays, where individual members of the collective release solo recordings in order to shed light upon all of the talent within. This is something that the MA music scene has been lacking, and I’m excited to see where it will lead us. What are your thoughts? Listen below!
