Episode 14 of DITD is all about the new "Label Album" by Dreamville. "Revenge Of The Dreamers 3" is a cohesive work in a notoriously awkward concept. We talk the album and the purpose of "Label Albums".
FULL SHOW NOTES & TIMESTAMPS - https://share.transistor.fm/s/04fe2ca9
One of the most anticipated releases of 2019 has come & gone. "Revenge of The Dreamers 3", led by J.Cole, has been received very well.
So well in fact, that it got Ben & Charlie thinking about the concept of "Label Albums" or "Collaborative Albums" to word it differently. If we look back at albums such as ROTD3, they're rarely remembered as being high-quality projects. They're more remembered as moments in time, moments in an artist's career, not as a great album that people will listen to as they do with regular albums.
So what are "Label/Collab Albums"? And what purpose do they serve? That is what Ben & Charlie explore whilst also trying to gauge what they liked & didn't like about the album and the overall concept it's housed in.
