Aleon Craft - Look Twice
Artist: Aleon Craft
Producer: SMKA
Album: Mothership Decatur
Label: SMKA Productions, LLC
Since Matrix references are passé, I’m gonna take it way back with this one. Remember John Carpenter’s They Live, the low-budget ‘80s classic in which Rowdy Roddy Piper, with the help of some magic shades, discovered an otherworldly conspiracy underpinning consumer culture? Well, Aleon Craft‘s latest single, Look Twice, is like that, except it’s the benevolent extraterrestrial demanding that you put on the damn glasses and take a gander at what humanity has wrought. Booth-approved crew SMKA lend their skills behind the boards, using chilly synth arpeggios to set a paranoia-laced mood as the freestyle series alum pulls back reality’s veil. Though Craft’s bars drip with his trademark eccentricity (”I can make you shiver like an infant with no onesie”), he doesn’t miss the chance to call attention to legit social issues, from the lack of direction among today’s youth to the disappearance of public housing. So, do you choose to take the red pill
put on those glasses? If so, you can expect plenty more dope tunes where this came from on the DJ Smallz-hosted Mothership Decatur, Aleon’s final mixtape before the arrival of debut album Solar-Hop Chronicles.

For Aleon Craft this is is pretty much the norm. Does that make sense? If you didn't know, now you do. Check his catalog.

What else would we expect from Aleon than the unexpected, and dope? Track by track he's creating his own sound and Look Twice will undoubtedly have some previous doubters giving him another chance.

funky, this is the one, creative flow at its best. You can play this cut in a 500 Mercedes or a Kia Vibe, it will make you drive all the gas out of the car. MARK THAT A PLAYER.
