Valid and Stretch Money are victorious on ‘Bill & Isiah’
Detroit’s Valid and Stretch Money have shared a new album called Bill & Isiah. After building much hype with a series of singles that were equal parts versatile and consistent, the prolific Motor City duo deliver a cohesive whole package of sharp bars, poignant production, and focused lyricism with Bill & Isiah.
There are certain albums that just grasp you immediately and make their persona known right off the bat. Bill & Isiah is one of those, with highlight song “89′ Cadillacs” providing a scorcher early on, injecting a healthy dosage of nostalgia in its sound and style. Then, songs like “You Know I Like It” extend the retro feel even further, with funky, colorful samples and expansive sonics. “Sentimental” showcases a pop sensibility from the duo, while “Commentate” shows that they can go bar-for-bar with the rest of them as lyricists. Despite the record’s inherent versatility, it never feels patched together in any way, instead it is a cohesive listen from front-to-back with connecting themes that make it easy to just hit play and let the music take you away until track 11. It’s a solid outing that finds the two in top form, and it remains captivating from start to finish.
Produced by platinum credited Grammy-Award winning DJ Head of Shady Records, and Grammy-Award
winning Anthony Rizzo, Bill & Isiah is ones of the most anticipated albums of the year. In recent months
Valid and Stretch Money have graced many prominent websites such as medium.com and have received
well over 50K spins on the singles from this collaborative effort.
