WesWill delivers a bass thumping, shoulder grooving exhibition on the latest installment of his Summertime Slaps series. The Cleveland native made good on his promise to deliver and does so in every sense of the phrase, showing growth and continued motivation that infects each of his records.
Cohesive from the start of the album, Summertime Slaps, Volume 2, embodies the spirit of Summer and everything that goes along with it. Able to occupy several different spaces, Volume 2 finds massive playability whether you are poolside or cruising with the windows down on a late night out. The combination of funk-laced production and WesWill’s throttling flow throughout records like “PTP” and “Jeep Lovin'” cement his technical skill as a rapper. Softer records such as “Freebies” and “Late Night Creep” find the lyricist reigning in his speed on the mic into a softer melodic vocal showcasing that piques our interest into what future offerings will sound like. Progressing through a series of comical skits and on-going jokes taken from the first installment of the series, WesWill creates a connection that expands on the personable attitude of the 30-minute offering. WesWill outlined his goal for the album, saying,
“I want the music on STSV2 (Summertime Slaps, Volume 2) to be a part of this generation’s summer soundtrack for years to come. I want to give people the same feeling that I received when I first heard “The Yellow Tape” by Dom Kennedy, or “Live For, Day For” by Overdoz. I want people to make summer memories to this album.”
We spotlighted WesWill back in March for his single, “411” and are excited to see what else the Ohio resident has in the tuck. There’s no doubt we will be keeping a close eye on Will as he continues to release captivating projects, hopefully, we get some visuals from this latest achievement.
