Ardamus & The Metaphysical- A Day in the Life of Modern Day Living




Together with his engineer Metaphysical, heavily slept-on D.C. rhyme vet Ardamus drops another totally gratis and well cultivated new project, titled "A Day In The Life Of Modern Day Living"....

Based around a theme that shows the daily progression of someone that wakes up one day to a nightmare, til' that following night when they pass out pissy drunk at a friend's spot, this mix is a pretty honest slice of life tale for a good amount of folks. Whether that fact is unfortunate or not I don't know...lol....

Combining Ard's skilled flow and heady lyrical offerings with Metaphysical's worthy and diverse production as well as adding the soulful singing talents of Lady Maroo and Cosmo (of Math Panda), Emilie Brogrand, Mic Finite, and Observa, this is a well rounded, musical gift that has high replay value. Even despite a somewhat juvenile theme direction, it actually has many wise points of view on it, veiled under a few layers of Hip-Hop party candor...

I like the way "A Day In The Life..." switches up and has almost a manic feel at times...One second you get a spastic and head nodding looks like "Private Paradise" and "Awkward convo", another your rockin a lil' more traditionally with a perfect ode to the vernal equinox that is "Summer Nights"....

Whole thing comes together well, and almost makes you feel silly that you waste so much time each day doing whatever when you could be out there livin' a little bit more, feeling Hangovers from last week or leaving hand prints on a broad's ass....Only a really good Hip-Hop LP like this could inspire someone to be more of a rascal in such a fun way.....

Be sure to peep this out kids, it's a boisterous jaunt, but there is a message to be dug out too I suppose.....Also, keep Ardamus in mind, his full length LP is coming soon as well as another collab project called "Ardaplus" with fellow D.C. nerdcore producer/MC Double Plus....
