Mike Ladd - Nostalialator
On Nostalgialator, Mike Ladd incorporates rock, soul, and a little blues into his music. The album’s earlier rock-based songs are also its worst due to their lack of talented production and a lack of cohesive lyrics. The album’s later tracks finds Ladd taking a more mellow, spoken-word direction on many of the songs, which is ultimately the emcee’s strength. It’s on these tracks that Ladd is able to aptly balance strong musical compositions with crisp, oral imagery instead of one dominating the other.
