Band Review: L.B.One and SkighMiles

I am combining two separate artists today due to them not having very much content available, though for different reasons.

L.B.One

L.B.One is a DJ, so it is reasonable to assume that he does sets regularly that involve musical skill and know-how, but that are part of experiences. Even if there were sets captured online, the recordings would not properly convey the effectiveness of the the show.

He does have two tracks recorded, both with the help of vocalist Laenz.

From a performance level they are musically pretty solid, though there is a darkness to the predatory theme of the videos that I found pointless. I can't rule out that they would be more meaningful to younger people though, being several years past cool, but it's almost like they were adding a trap eeriness that was thankfully absent in the music.

SkighMiles
 
SkighMiles is a producer, who has previously focused on working with other musicians but is now ready to perform as himself, which I think is nice.

It may be that his interaction with other artists inspired his current track, famous, which seemed overly shallow and weed-obsessed, with somewhat repetitive lyrics. The sound is on point though, which makes sense, and this is a first attempt. He should have time to grow and to find more to say.
