After taking about a year and a half break from dropping a project, “2021 Album of the year winner” and “2021 Artist of The Year” Johnny Adama crafts a new installment of vibes on his latest release “Moonroof”.
The project starts off with “Keyless (Intro)”. The doors open and the moonroof is popped setting the stage for what soon becomes a rolling stoned odyssey throughout the Burg.
“The Regimen” hits like a reintroduction to Johnny. The chill vibe is perfect to bend corners and smoke trees too. Johnny states “I took the year off and got back on my grind”, I took the year off to get back now I’m ready” putting those who thought he retired in their place. One of my new favorites.
“Scenic Route” is for those who take the long way home when they riding with that loud. The track can have two meanings. You either take that route to enjoy your smoke longer or take that route to have less issues with police, both are prominent in Cannabis culture. Short and sweet track with that crazy shimmering sound on the beat.
“Confirmation” slows things down a bit. This joint is some slice of life type shit. Just a day in the life of Johnny Adama making his way through the 727. From art shows to the late night vibe there’s always something rocking. You already know it’s straight out the Zhu!
“No Love Lost” puts Johnny in his soulful bag. On a bit of a storytelling tip I enjoyed the more introspective take Adama took on this one, reminiscent of his work on “Conflicted”. With themes of love and loss, despite the pain it has only made Johnny stronger.
“Life So Hard” is for all the late night movers and shakers. No matter what you do, we all have our own ave to chase. The spaced out eat hits perfectly for your spaceship trip back home after a long day.
“Global Sensation” is a certified banger. Bumping this with smoke bellowing from your moonroof will have anyone feeling like the man of the city. It seems Johnny has moved on from his last chick and is on to something new.
“Turnin Corners” slows things down a bit. We are reaching the end of the night and Johnny is headed home. Reflecting on his night and everything that transpired. Really dope flows and storytelling on this one. The vocals at the end take it next level.
“Watchin” might be my favorite joint on the project. The spaced out beat fits Johnny’s flows to a tee. So many quotables on this one especially on the first verse with talks of wizardry and magic. You already know we stay smoking no matter who’s plotting against the team.
“Windows (Outro)” closes out the project as we roll the windows back up once we have reached our destination. That bars every sentence line was next level. The hot box is has finally reached its end with all the smoke from our journey going out the moonroof, ending what is another amazing project from Adama Bin Laden.
After taking some time off Johnny Adama hasn’t missed a step. From the whole vibe and concept I feel this project will go down as a stoner rap classic especially here in the 727. A lot of people talk about smoking in music but I related to every aspect of this project. From the moment the alarm hits we sparking up the whole way home, letting our problems of the day go out the moonroof.
