After the release of their debut album The Waves in 2010, Tamaryn had accumulated a nice following of fans. Tamaryn is an ethereal shoegaze duo consisting of Tamaryn Brown and Rex John Shelverton. This is easily one of the greatest records of 2012 and it all comes down to Lamar's sense of intelligence as he gives us a glimpse into a world that nobody should ever have to overcome. At first glance, these lyrics and themes really seem to be disturbingly cliché for a west coast rapper, but once you get an idea of where exactly Lamar is coming from, this story ends up being incredibly touching. The songs all focus on gang violence, murder, drugs, and womanizing, all through the eyes of the young, innocent eyes of Lamar. The record follows Lamar through his struggles growing up from childhood to his teen years. As a 25-year-old, he has seen so much violence and hatred already in his young years thanks to his hometown and this was a primary influence for his newest album.
Lamar is from an incredibly harsh ghetto in Compton where staying out of trouble while growing up was a serious chore. Lamar even refers to the album as a short film, citing it as a biographical piece as he is the small child sitting around with some family members whose faces have all been blacked out. city really tells it all for this record.
