Island (G-Side album)
Island (stylized as iSLAND) is the fifth studio album by American hip hop duo G-Side.[5] It was released by Slow Motion Soundz on November 11, 2011.[6]
Reception
Evan Rytlewski of The A.V. Club gave the album a grade of B+, saying: "There are hundreds of rappers dwelling on the same themes of hustle and determination as Yung Clova and ST 2 Lettaz, including some that do so with nimbler flows and sharper wordplay, but there are few that match the duo's personality and conviction."[1] Tom Breihan of Stereogum said: "Production team Block Beattaz has made another zoned-out polyglot music tapestry for them, sampling stuff like Joy Orbison and Tame Impala but grounding it in classic Southern rap thump."[7]
