Finacy - Napoleon Complex (Infinite Legacy)

A few months ago at Sonar, Kelly Connelly introduced me to this dude, Finacy, who I'd previously heard on a Top Of The World Records compilation (where he was credited as Finney), and he gave me a copy of his solo album. Kariz from TOTW produces several tracks, and Swan Grace appears on two songs, but it's on a different label. For a while I couldn't figure out who Finney's voice reminds me of, but I just decided that it's Shawn Jay from Field Mob, who sounds really similiar when his voice gets kinda raspy and hoarse. Sometimes he reminds me a little of Peedi Crakk, too. The production, mostly by Lace, is really good and consistent, probably my favorite thing about the album.

Finacy - "++" (mp3)
This is the sort of untitled bonus track at the end of the CD, but it's really got a nice personal vibe, good way to finish the album.

Finacy f/ Kariz - "Son On My Side" (mp3)
This track orginally appeared on The Grand Opening and it sounds pretty good in the context of this album too.
