The Black Opera - Black Lair
Artist: The Black Opera
Producer: Astronote
Album: Libretto: Of King Legend
Label: A-Side Worldwide/Mello Music Group
Considering how much their commitment to secrecy has helped to increase their buzz, shadowy crew The Black Opera seem unlikely to reveal their identities anytime soon. For the very first time, on the latest single off their forthcoming full-length, they offer curious listeners a glimpse into their hideout, the Black Lair. Over Astronote‘s dusty keys and subterranean bass, the anonymous rhymesayers welcome us to a place that’s “darker than Matombo,”where “perception is king,” and “you’re never sure who’s the diablo.” Appropriately enough, Black Opera solicit guest vocals from an actual opera singer; Melody Betts showcases her impressive soprano throughout the cut, taking center stage on the record’s chorus. Feeling it? We suggest purchasing a copy of their street album The Libretto: Of King Legend, the third and final installment in the crew’s debut trilogy.

One of my favorite cuts off the Libretto album. Astronote kills this one.

An uncomfortable, but entertaining listen. That is probably the best way to describe the vibe of the record.

Crazy beat on this. @ DJ Z, it does actually make me feel a bit uncomfortable. Really hot flows from The Black Opera though. Interesting vocals from Melody Betts, but they work.

I like their style. Its common yet different and beat was catchy. After glancing at the album cover I got a futuristic feel from this track. The lyrics were interesting and so was the chorus.. I'm feeling this one

This was something different than what I was expecting, but the direction was highly favorable in my eyes. Beat was a little too much for my liking but the flows and lyrics really sold me on this one. I'd play it again.
