Los Angeles, California, trio Honor Flow Productions embody that classic formula of rapper/DJ crews. Reminiscent — if only in actual make-up — of fellow LA crew Dilated Peoples mashed up with a sensibility of a squad like RUN DMC, they managed to create this unique vibe that sounds like Tribe Called Quest and Digable Planets melded together then moved to the West Coast to drop a new album.
Their latest LP The B.L.A.C.K. Odyssey is a unique journey and collective piece of artwork that bobs and weaves its way through vibes while maintaining an honest, down to earth, and relatable train of thought that was an absolute pleasure for our staff to follow along.
The 16-song efforts — whose title is an acronym for Beyond Light Years Away Carrying Knowledge — also features some of the best up-and-coming artists bubbling under the radar in the LA scene, which HFP have collectively dubbed “The B.L.A.C.K. Odyssey Players.” To support the project, they’ve released videos for two of the singles, “Alright” and “@ The Speed Of Light.”
Check those out, below, and be sure to give the LP a spin.
