about

Long time Upper-Left coast MC “Lockcity” aka. Leon Swanks has just finished and released his second solo project in just under a year.

Lockcity is coming off the highly recommended, but less spotlighted, “Charlie Brown Mixtape”, which held the MC’s classic street reputable stature, with hood anthems over Ice Cream Paint Job and luxurious vibe with original tracks like “Penthouse Chillin”. Who knew that would be the fashion we see him in next.

This occasion is different from the return of the classy alias LeonSwanks. He sets the scene by entitling this release Purple Palm Trees and an extensive introduction track. Although LeonSwanks himself refers to the project as a mix-tape; the final product is much more parallel with an album. The entire tape effort is choreographed sound splash from the youthful, talented, budding super-producer Khris Kream (one half of the production crew Kream Team).

Right from the beginning Leon and Khris give you sounds of the ocean and playful drums to prepare you for 60 min resort to the “Palms”. A majority of the tracklist keeps a lively, party appropriate bounce, coupled wit Leon’s monotone rap style and easy rolling cadence construction - great times. The verses themselves seem effortless in cahoots with the custom production, but they remain layered and complex if you listen closely.

There is an undeniable feel of curating and development resulting in a cohesive sound. The lyrics themselves ring true to Lockcity LeonSwanks transformation. It seems to be all about working more professionally and exploring the pampered life. There is a heavy motif - embodying luxury and craftsmanship. Definitely one to take on the road trip/vacation.
