Andrew Lewis - Traveler
Artist: Andrew Lewis
Producer: XV, Andrew Lewis, Frank Vasquez, and Brandon Bae
Album: Unreleased
Label: GMT Music Group
The practice of leaving outrageously dope material on the cutting-room floor, thereby leading listeners to assume that your forthcoming project is full of even better records, has become so widespread that I’m beginning to wonder whether artists have begun to intentionally exclude the freshest cuts from their releases. Or maybe I’m just nuts. In any case, Andrew Lewis’ latest offering, Traveler, is a prime example of the “How the hell didn’t this make the cut?!” phenomenon. Recorded during the sessions for his forthcoming mixtape, this summery banger finds the Party & Bullsh*t rapper-producer hooking up with Booth fave XV to craft a blissfully head-noddable backdrop for his laid-back meditations on the pursuit of artistic excellence: “What I believe’s in a dream that no one else sees, so you really can’t argue with me.” Rising R&B songstress Vienna rounds out the record, contributing her breezy vocal stylings to the chorus. Though this cut, as mentioned above, won’t be on the project, fans can expect more freshness on Lewis’ Booth-sponsored What Dreams May Come street album, set to hit our mixtape page this spring.

I could write a short story on "Traveler." From the excellent production (notice the samples, anyone? - well done, btw) to the beautiful hook vocal accompaniment from Vienna, there is a lot to like from this record. While Lewis doesn't overwhelm you with his spitting, he isn't the most dynamic on the mic, he safely (and enjoyably) drives a steady bus that is both comfortable and fitting.

Really liked this - to use an ironically cliched term n a pretty original song, it's a breathe of fresh air. Especially that guitar breakdown near the end - it's little touches like that that really help a track standout.
I'll def be looking for more from Lewis.
