Brad Strut – Legend: Official.

Unkut Recordings – Shogun Distribution

Aussie wordsmith Brad Strut returns with his highly anticipated sophomore solo release ‘Legend: Official’. After three years of work, he delivers a gem to set the bar for the rest of the scene.

Back in the booth largely backed by fellow Lyrical Commission member Trem handling production Strut shakes the sophomore slump to deliver one of the nicest albums of the year. While Brad proves throughout that he’s more than capable of holding down tracks solo he has a few friends in the mix in the form of Lyrical Commision on “Bounty Hunterz, Lee Sissing on “One” and “Strut Life”, Daniel Merriweather on “Caught Up”, Outerspace and Trem on “Terrordome”, Trem again on “Incite the Premises” and Sean Price on “Automatic”. The standout tracks however aren’t just the collaborations even though the guests are some of the most impressive names in the industry.

Personal standout tracks include the lead single “Monopoly” features Strut talking on the direction of the industry, “Terrordome” with Army of the Pharaohs members Outerspace and Trem making this an underground banger and the requisite Lyrical Commission collab “Bounty Hunterz”. From the time the cd starts you know you’re in for a treat with this release. The anticipation was definitely answered and Strut stood up to the plate and delivered another album that is sure to go down as an Aussie classic.

If you like hard-edged lyricism then be sure to run out and add this one to your collection.
