LSD (lysergic acid diethylamide), is a hallucinogenic chemical compound, first synthesized in 1938. Upon its introduction into popular culture in the 1960’s it quickly shifted not only the mind of the artist but also the person experiencing the art. Hip-Hop artist Cambatta is known for his thought provoking and psychedelic-inspired rhyme techniques. His newest album entitled, “LSD”, is just as the title insinuates- mind-bending and consciousness-shifting. This album was created throughout four years of psychedelic usage and reality-based life changing events. This process has made the album a duality of both real and surreal interpretations. The album’s title is also an acronym for “Lunar Solar Duality,” alluding to the album’s dichotomy of light and dark conceptualizations and countless other polarizing and multi-entendre-latent compositions. Whether you have ever experienced LSD or not, this album is sure to impact anyone receptive and perceptive enough to take a dose.

According to the medical science of optometry 20/20 Is a measurement that refers to your visual acuity, which is the clarity or sharpness of your vision. Synchronistically since 2020 started the entire world's perception of reality has been forever changed. So far, we are amidst what has been arguably the most paradigm shifting and devastating year experienced by modern man. Starting with the death of one of the greatest basketball players of all time Kobe Bryant along with his young daughter Gianna. This terribly unfortunate loss preceded the spread of a worldwide Kovid/Korona Pandemic panic of biblical portions only to be followed by the political anarchy and riots of the George Floyd death.
Kovid 24, is a 10 minutes and 24 seconds lyrical sternutation that is as relentless and infective as the COVID virus Cambatta vehemently describes and deconstructs throughout this bloody gem filled ballad. The twisted spine chilling beat is produced by The Heretic and it sounds like an endless bad dream, reflective of the worlds current quarantined fear-ridden psychological condition.
Cambatta ingeniously connects and threads the corona/covid virus with the death Kobe Bryant and the George Floyd riots using clever word play. Digging deep into etymology, numerology, symbolism and several related reference points Cambatta makes keen observations and weaves them all together while keeping the integrity of the multiple syllabic rhyme scheme. Even the length of the song which is 10:24 or 10 = 8+2 and 24 which are Gianni's Jersey number and both of Kobe’s. Only the most intelligent listening will be able to connect every dot! Kovid 24 was created to be spread!
