Big Boi\u2019s first solo album Sir Lucious Left Foot was everything a Big Boi solo album should be: funky, stanky. But it lacked a crucial ingredient that has been proven to enhance Big Boi\u2019s flavor: Andre 3000. Zesty…Smooth. It is the unique relationships of their styles, the transition of verses from Big Boi to Andre and Andre to Big Boi that makes Outkast Outkast. They form quite a savory blend, and the same can\u2019t be said for Watch the Throne (two rap kings) or Clipse (two biological brothers) or Blackstar (two philosophers). If there is one blend more potent than Andre 3000 and Big Boi, it would be the partnership of a white rapper and a black rapper. It has happened before — recently, Moosh and Twist, two young bucks from Philly. And today, as Sam Lachow and Raz release 5 Good Reasons EP<\/a>, <\/em>it happens once more.<\/p>\n

The first collaboration between the two on YouTube was posted in January 2010, when Lachow shot the music video for Raz\u2019s \u2018The Love\u2019. Lachow released his first album Brand New Bik<\/em>e in July 2011 followed by Avenue Music EP<\/em> in April 2012, with Raz featured on one song in each. Raz has recently<\/a> put out a couple of music videos, and the Lachow-produced Reasons<\/em> appears to be his most official release to date. The question is not if this new project will advance their respective rap careers, but if together they are greater than the sum of their parts.<\/p>\n

Sooner or later, a rapper is going to say his own name on a track, and the way he says it is an accurate measurement of his persona. For example, Lachow seems most happy when he gets to say his name. He elongates it into a sort of joyous sneer: La-chaaouww! It\u2019s his actual name, but he savors it like its a swear word. Solomon Simone raps under the pseudonym Raz, a word he speaks as if its something sacred. His scratchy voice enunciates the \u2018Ra\u2019 and then treats the \u2018Z\u2019 as a separate syllable, whispering so that it drifts into the airspace an open-ended \u2018S\u2019.<\/p>\n

Lachow\u2019s delivery is slick. He has sharpened his flow over the years so that the accents of the words hit the beat at the right moment. He waxes iambic with ease on Reasons<\/em>, smooth to the point that his words lack weight, so that it\u2019s easier to listen to the rhythm of the words than the words themselves. Raz is the opposite — he digs into his lyrics. He raps with so much emotion that he is wont to veer off-beat and obstruct the flow of the song. His style is almost physical; you feel every drawn breath, and you sense his tongue morph to form the sound of each syllable. The man is raw. He\u2019s not far away from spoken word. Lachow would never do spoken word.<\/p>\n

43 seconds into \u2018The Introduction\u2019, at the beginning of his verse, Raz looses this low carnal growl from deep in his stomach, and you can tell that shit is about to go down. He goes on to reflect on the themes that have shaped his life: violence, drug dealing, poverty, gentrification. \u201cMy life is more epic than my rapping is\/ with all this shit that\u2019s happenin\u2019 I can\u2019t help but spit passionate.\u201d 22-year old Raz has a young son. I\u2019m not sure if there\u2019s anything that 21-year old Lachow wants less than a son at this point of his life. He takes on the realities of his own world on the second half of the song, but his problems are petty compared to Raz\u2019s. He drinks too much in social situations and \u201csmoked too many fuckin\u2019 cigs\u201d; on another song off Reasons<\/em>, he laments that his mom find\u2019s his lyrics too raunchy. It\u2019s hard to sympathize, but you get the sense that he\u2019s trying to honestly assess his life, and that\u2019s refreshing.<\/p>\n

\u2018Money\u2019 is the other deeply reflective song on Reasons<\/em>, and Raz takes both verses with hardly a whiff of Lachow. A racial boundary exists between Raz and Lachow in spite of their partnership, and it is most apparent when they err towards realism — Raz\u2019s preferred mode. Lachow simply can\u2019t keep up. This isn\u2019t a knock on their chemistry, which actually shines through the remainder of the EP. They trade bars in conversation on \u2018Good Reasons\u2019 and repeat each other\u2019s lines on \u2018Coyotes\u2019 and \u2018Nothing\u2019s Gonna Change\u2019, giving these songs a certain cohesiveness. That\u2019s where the real power of Reasons<\/em> lies — each song has a distinct aesthetic identity.<\/p>\n

Lachow likes to tweet and rap about how\u2019s he a producer first, rapper second, and he\u2019s not blowing smoke. Reasons<\/em> is extremely varied and nuanced for having only five songs. His greatest strength his ability to surround himself with talent and apply it in just the right places. He has muses. Juilliard trumpeter Riley Mulherkar wails something mournful behind the MCs on \u2018The Introduction\u2019, then something peppy on \u2018Good Reasons\u2019. Drops of Ariana DeBoo\u2019s silky voice inflect the beat on \u2018Coyotes\u2019, then she croons something melancholy behind Raz on \u2018Money\u2019. B-Skeez, that hooligan from Swag Kamp, sings the triumphant chorus for \u2018Nothing\u2019s Gonna Change\u2019. Most important is Lachow\u2019s co-producer and childhood friend Maggie Brown. Raz is the more impressive rapper, but it definitely feels like Lachow orchestrated the project as a whole.<\/p>\n

5 Good Reasons EP<\/em> is short and sweet, and leaves us wanting more from Sam Lachow and Raz. They have a symbiotic relationship; Raz pushes Lachow to contemplate deeper subject matter, and Lachow\u2019s production gives Raz a broader palette of sounds to work with. It helps that they seem like real friends who kick it with each other. To say their partnership transcends race is simplistic and cliche, but it\u2019s nice to see a racial interaction that comes from a place of honest camaraderie. Lachow and Raz are a one of a kind rap duo with unique creative possibilities if they continue to make music together. If one of them puts out a solo project and it feels like something is missing, then we\u2019ll know it was meant to be.<\/p>\n
