Long Island, NY artist Johnny Storm has dropped off a new album called Hov Taught Us. The highly skilled lyricist is back with a fresh project that entertains the listener with each line- emanating a mood of vitality and focused with raw, sharp-to-the-point lines atop rich, soulful production. Storm’s charismatic style merges smoothly with a collection of stylish beats from the likes of Kash Flow, cantstopdizzy, JUNE!, and more that present a potent energy.
Storm delivers a flurry of imagery-rich bars in a present delivery that captures the listener’s attention from the get-go, as he makes every line count on Hov Taught Us. His sharp lyrical game shines through across the tracklisting, but some particular highlights include the hypnotic, raw “99 Raekwon”, or the sleek, charismatic “Live From the Island”. A potent display of energizing bars, rich production, and witty, poetic lyricism- Hov Taught Us is an engaging project front-to-back that pays homage to Jay-Z’s classic In My Lifetime, vol. 1 with the cover art and theme.
