Domo Genesis – Red Corolla is one of the more forgotten rap albums of 2017 which hardly gets any mention. The production was hot and contemporary sounding for the time. His lyrics were on point and had a focal point that could grab audiences attention. Stoney Willis produced a majority of his album. Overthinking, Long Way Home, and Slow Burn are the highlights.
It’s not a quick fix. It’s a slow burn on Slow Burn. Domo believes life is moving too fast and needs a slow burn to lag things down a pace. You can feel those bass rhythms in the song.
Life is moving fast. Domo is hoping for a slow burn. Gettin’ high is the only way he knows to feel closer to sober. That slow burn on his heart is beating heavy. You can feel these bass rhythms in his sternum. He is handling business while you are playing with time. It’s not a quick fix. It’s a slow burn. Domo chose his own faith from the day he broke outta college. He made that decision. Know that good in life is forever but as long as it lasts hope it’s a slow burner.
Long Way Home explained how Domo did not want to come off as being too strong even if he is disconnected from the world. So he will take the long way home. So with the damage he has taken, he will take the long way home. This song shows that he not a ruthless pop star and is a humble rapper with a sense of motivation.
Domo doesn’t wanna come off too strong. But this is a hit and run. He will take his damage and move on. He feels like in his heart he is unconditioned to do wrong. He feels like he is seeing the same visions and feels like he is disconnected from the world. Domo is looking at the signs hoping he read them right. Praying for the chance to get ahead of life. He will work hard and never call out. Domo ain’t finna never let the bar drop.
He done played it safe for too long. He done saved face for too long. He done lived racism and now they playing cases too strong. Domo is just another young black man trapped in the matrix. That is why Domo is willing to jump back to the basics. He will stay blazed for the ride through the graces of God. And faith on his side.
Overthinking explained how weed (marijuana) has got Domo thinking about shit he shouldn’t be thinking about. In other words, the weed has got Domo thinking about shit that he shouldn’t think. Ironically this is one of the more lyrical and conscious songs on the album.
The weed has got Domo thinking about shit that he shouldn’t think. He is trying to see what is next and what will happen next. Honestly maybe he could be overthinking. It feel like the world against him I know when it’s sink or swim. That is why he will keep low and believe this vision he has been having. Or maybe it’s the high fresh off the blunt. Anticipate the high before he hits the J. He is the lone spliff from the lost pack.
I rate this album 5/5*****!
