Cincinnati native Main Flow has been touted as one of the most gifted MCs around. With his latest effort, Flow Season, Main Flow has the necessary production to provide the classic that so many have been waiting for. Seemingly a match made in heaven, 7L continues his brilliant track record by doing more than creating a collection of beats; he composes tracks filled with brilliant guitar riffs that often lull the listener into the sort of devotion that Main Flow may have lacked in the past. This is what being an accommodating producer is all about: taking the MC to places they never thought they could go before but making sure the experience is very natural. 14 unique tracks offer an MC and producer both bringing their best efforts creates a strange mixture of soothing sounds and rhymes complex in their design, yet often simple and inviting in their approach. Truly, this is one of the most exciting collaborations and enjoyable releases to come out this year.
