Sean Falyon is all about making escapist hip-hop, and with his new project with Atlanta production crew SMKA, he lives up to his calling. The Philly emcee demonstrates insight and agility on the mic with songs like the mid-tempo groove, “Big City Nights” where he talks about fast living without being overbearing. Other standouts include “Gift of Gab” and the smooth, “Goin Away” featuring Bone Crusher and Joe Scudda. Times may be hard, but Mr. Falyon makes the days a bit easier with his above-average offering. –rogue marie
