Ending our coverage of The Grouch and Eligh's three-album release (The Tortiose & The Crow and Lighthouses) today is Eligh's solo album, Nomads, that follows up 2011's collaborative effort with AmpLive, Therapy At 3. If you thought three albums was way too much material all at once, we don't blame you. However, as we have shown on the collaborative album, Grouch's solo, and now Eligh's, the amount of good material here is overwhelming, but in a good way. While you could whittle all your favorites into one compact album, we have zero complaints with the three-album format, because there's always going to be different favorites for everyone. And when it comes to Eligh's solo, there's no doubt that more than just a few tracks that will catch your ear. With Eligh's music, there's always been an introspective element attached. From his struggles with addiction, to his unique perspective on life, there's always been this employed perspective to give his music that extra edge over the average rapper. Of course, having incredible cadences that flip through lightning-quick raps to low-pitched singing melodies has been Eligh's method of artistry (and it's been a very successful one), but it's ultimately the way Eligh seems like an open book that becomes his most admirable attribute. He's relatable, a fantastic listen, and always reliable for incredible albums. With Nomads, it's no surprise that Eligh did not disappoint. Below you can find some of our highlights from the work, and if you wish to hear more, head on over to iTunes to purchase the entire project.
