New York will forever and always be the mecca of Hip-Hop. Whether rocking the radio with its take on trap music, or celebrating the Golden Era, boom-bap sound it birthed, The Empire State will always be at the forefront of rap. Likewise, its emcees will always be some of the best this country has to offer. Case in point: Enlightenment, a Buffalo trio devoted to resurrecting real rap. In dropping their 2019 effort, “TRAP: True, Real & Presence”, each one of them shines a lyrical light of their own. The clique is made up of Dom.P, Twin 2xs and the phenomenal femcee, T-Hood. Their chemistry is absolute when it comes to “True Real & Presence”. There is an abundance of speaker-thumping anthems running through this ten-track project— such as “Drug Deal” (feat. ElCamino), “Regular”, “Zoo” and “”JumpMan”. However, nothing hits harder than the boom-bap inflections riddling the project. T-Hood already stands out amongst her brethren as a powerful emcee; however, her performance, as well as her partners’ — on songs like “Straight Bars” launched her into another atmosphere. In forty minutes, Enlightenment go from being another trio of spitters, to the modern paragon of New York Hip-Hop artistry. They completely annihilated any beat that comes their way. With Buffalo picking up steam through Griselda Records, the door to stardom is ajar for this creative trio. “True, Real & Presence” is their first, herculean step through that vestibule. Check it out below, and stay tuned for The Enlightenment Tour coming to a city near you this August.
