Album Review: The Prism EP (from Leonards Lair) by Leonards Lair Album Reviews
Some quick excerpts from the review: ...I was unfamiliar with Philadelphia artist NaYR (backwards spelling of his real name Ryan) but feel privileged to have listened to this addictive, superbly produced EP."-- ‘God Knows’ employs cut-up soul vocals whereas ‘Exclusive Sh*t’ borrows from what sounds like a Blaxpoitation movie."-- NaYR is relentless in his pursuit for perfect samples and grooves. It’s a quest that sees him at least match his contemporaries for creativity, melodic flow and - of course - “keeping it real”."--- Check out the whole review at: http://leonardslair.wordpress.com/2008/12/06/review-nayr-the-prism-ep/ --- ---Special Thanks to Jon for the review. I Appreciate it!
