Description: Raz Simone’s recent release: “Drive Theory”, is a concept album that is about self-stratification which is ironically told by a rich performer that names where she/she is from and how they started making moves. To my assumption the titles: “White Collar” “I Sell Drugs” and “Streets All Day” are themes of social stratification of those who are raised in hoods/ghettos. Simone’s lyrics I do find however are genuine. Given I listened to “Just Begun” and “White Collar”, I do find novelty in the words that are truly deep. What I appreciate more other than these poetic lyrics is that the beat themselves vary and are quite rhythmic. Simone has a moderate use of bass throughout the album which to me felt nearly exaggerated throughout the album. What I appreciated was a string accompaniment through some of his tracks which balances acoustics with hip-hop beats. Raz Simone’s: “Drive Theory”, is a Sociological concept that Simone presents from self-perspective with monologue and poetic verses.
