Nicolay and kay timeline rar

While building on musical chemistry with an emcee is far from a foreign practice for Nicolay, the relationship between him and Kay seems much less organic on this effort than it had been with Phonte on Connected. On his beats, Nicolay creates a soundscape that richly blends the crushed warmth of neo-soul with the thick grooves of jazz and hip-hop, impressively maintaining the same tempo on every track to create a silky flow.

Instead of allowing all the instruments coalesce into an orchestra of beautiful music, Nicolay has learned to complicate the melody by allowing strings to flourish during one bar and a horn section to surge in the next.

While Nicolay provides musical linearity throughout the record, Kay develops his own concept over the beats, taking on the role of raconteur and telling the story of one man and his experiences. Kay holds his own as an emcee, riding the beats with a relaxed and dexterous flow, but he rarely fluctuates in tone or demeanor. Although Time:Line is a smooth and silky chunk of hip-hop, it only stands as a concept album in relation to its recording method, which, on the second go-around, is remarkably less impressive.
