Album Review: Young Gully – ‘The Tonight Show With Young Gully’ (Clear Label)
Hailing from The Bay Area, a region that has taken the indie spirit and turned it into a way of life, it’s no wonder that Young Gully’s group have dubbed themselves Young Hustlaz. This time riding solo without the rest of his crew, Young Gully is spitting his most heartfelt and hater-proof lyrics on his own The Tonight Show With Young Gully. With a patented East Oakland flow on “I Am,” Gully lets the world know just who is over the catchy hand claps and sparse drums. “Life Pt. 2″ will remind some true schoolers of another Oakland legend, Too Short, as Gully rides the throwback track like it was 1988 all over again. “Shine Like This” shows the MC in rare form, as he breaks down the flossy Yay Area lifestyle for all of you out-of-towners. With beats that are sure to serve as the soundtrack to the young upstart’s hustle ambitions, and a flow that is full of charisma and patented Oakland slang, The Tonight Show With Young Gully finds the MC staying true his regional sound but with a freshness that is sure to win over fans from Oak Town to Orlando.
