"This Generation" is a collaborative masterpiece from two West Coast hip-hop heavyweights, Murs and Fashawn, released under Duck Down Music Inc. on September 25, 2012. This album is a testament to the enduring spirit of underground and West Coast hip-hop, blending the seasoned lyricism of Murs, a Los Angeles hip-hop legend since 1993, with the fresh, innovative flow of Fashawn. The album's production, handled by Beatnick and K-Salaam, is a skillful fusion of sampled jazz and funk riffs, creating a vibrant and upbeat backdrop for the duo's compelling narratives.
With a runtime of 45 minutes, "This Generation" is a concise yet powerful journey through the streets and stories of their respective eras. Tracks like "Just Begun," "64' Impala," and "Reina De Barrio (Ghetto Queen)" showcase the duo's ability to craft vivid imagery and deliver hard-hitting lyrics. The album's title track, "This Generation," serves as a unifying anthem, bridging the gap between the old school and the new school of hip-hop.
Critics have praised the album for its authentic representation of classic silver age hip-hop values, with Fred Thomas noting that the collaboration proves to be stronger than the sum of its parts. "This Generation" is not just an album; it's a celebration of hip-hop's rich history and its continuous evolution, making it a standout release in the 2012 hip-hop landscape.
