FAMN “Things Done Changed” Album Review
How many artists can truly say that they are hungry to grow in this game? How many have spent their last dollar to buy studio equipment; sacrificed paying bills to fund a show or to drop a new album? Many; and some have even sacrificed good meals in order to fund their hip-hop needs. Despite the name, FAMN pronounced “famine” seems to be highly nourished; with great energy, poise, lyrical and production abilities.  

I personally believe in order to survive as an artist as well as a human being there must be a consistent hunger in place that pushes you to do better, gain more and excel higher. When you become full you become content, comfortable and no longer push yourself with the same determination if at all. True hunger is: understanding one’s purpose in life and striving to achieve it at all costs.

And hunger is indeed present within this roster that makes up the FAMN team. At first listen I can hear a desire to gain it all in their voices. Not only that, but I hear a bit of respect for those who laid the path of hip-hop before us; through some of the sample selections and production techniques FAMN used. They clearly went through the crates on this album.

Despite some of the typical topics and phrases used on this album, out of the 18 plus tracks I am digging Things Done Changed, That’s Famn and Best For U the most, but overall this is a sweet album. With clear musical direction and some self-improvement this group of young emcees will become the next to do it, and do it big.
