Album Review: Koncept & J57 - The Fuel

On his latest project with producer J57, Koncept continues to dazzle on the mic. His flow switches up so many times in a single song it's often hard to keep up. 

However, despite his technical ability, the songs unfortunately repeat themselves too much in other ways: straightforward, mid-tempo beats as a vehicle for his rapid, spitfire delivery, piano or synth accompaniment, and positive lyrics about determination in the face of adversity. This is an only EP, so as a platform for Koncept alone it works well enough, but an album would have to do more to generate interest — let the tracks breathe more, for instance.
