Now, check the resume: a ²ÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÝ new artist with a #1 R&B/ hip-hop ÞÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ²ÛÛ² single of the year, both on the charts ²ÛÛ² ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß and in the clubs off of the most ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛ ßßÛÛÜ notoriously successful hip-hop label of ÜÛÛßßÛÛÛ ß Ü ÜÜÜÜÜ ÞÛÛ² all time. Put it all together and what ²ÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÝ ß ßßÛÛÛÜ Ü²²Û²Ý do you have? An artist ready to present Þ²Û²²Ü ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß ÞÛÛÛÝÜÛÛÛÛÛß himself to the world with a force and a ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßß Ü ÜÛÛÛÜÛÛÛÛÛß swagger that could only have been nurtured ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßÛÛÛßÛÛÛÛÛÛß ßÜÜ in Harlem USA. A talent, that's ready to ÜÜß ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ÞÛ² blow. Yeah, you know the name. Loon. ²ÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÝ The brother who needed a girl - not ÞÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ²ÛÛ² once, but twice. Loon. The brother with ²ÛÛ² ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß the slick Harlem style and suave lyrical ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß²ÜÜÜ ÜÜÜ ßßÛÛÜ delivery. Loon. The young gifted and ÜÛÛßßþ ßÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÛÛÛßßßÜ ÞÛÛ² black brother that's poised to take on ²ÛÛÝ ÞÝ ÞÛÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÝ Üܲ²Û²Ý the industry like a true Bad Boy. Loon Þ²Û²²Ü ßÛÜÜÜÛÛÛß ßÛÛÛÛÜÜÜÜÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß did more than spit memorable rhymes on ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßß ßßÛÛÛßÜÛÛÛÛÛß "I Need A Girl Pt. 1" & "I Need A Girl Pt. ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßÜÜ 2," he articulated the thoughts of a man ÜÜß ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ÞÛ² for whom this story needs little ²ÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÝ introduction: Sean "P. Diddy" Combs. ÞÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ²ÛÛ² ²ÛÛ² ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß No stranger to the streets or the ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛ ßßÛÛÜ industry, Loon's been on the come up for ÜÛÛßßÛÛÛ ß Ü ÜÜÜÜÜ ÞÛÛ² some time now. A Harlem baby from the ²ÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÝ ß ßßÛÛÛÜ Ü²²Û²Ý Espinard Houses who "turned protecting Þ²Û²²Ü ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß ÞÛÛÛÝÜÛÛÛÛÛß cats into a business," as well as being ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßß Ü ÜÛÛÛÜÛÛÛÛÛß the son of Carol Hawkins and William ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßÛÛÛßÛÛÛÛÛÛß ßÜÜ "Hamburger" Hughley, the real-life ÜÜß ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ÞÛ² Bonnie & Clyde team that ran 116th ²ÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÝ Street like a true-to-the-game ÞÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ²ÛÛ² super-couple, Loon's been repping the ²ÛÛ² ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß streets. Don't let the love songs fool ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß²ÜÜÜ ÜÜÜ ßßÛÛÜ ya. ÜÛÛßßþ ßÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÛÛÛßßßÜ ÞÛÛ² ²ÛÛÝ ÞÝ ÞÛÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÝ Üܲ²Û²Ý Loon isn't a new jack in this game Þ²Û²²Ü ßÛÜÜÜÛÛÛß ßÛÛÛÛÜÜÜÜÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß either. In 1996, Loon was signed to ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßß ßßÛÛÛßÜÛÛÛÛÛß Tommy Boy Records as a member of the ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßÜÜ two-man group Crime Family. Flash ÜÜß ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ÞÛ² forward three years later and enter ²ÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÝ Harlem World, a rap collective put ÞÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ²ÛÛ² together by Mase under Jermaine Dupri's ²ÛÛ² ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß So So Def label. Packaged as a ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛ ßßÛÛÜ Harlem-fueled set of super-friends who ÜÛÛßßÛÛÛ ß Ü ÜÜÜÜÜ ÞÛÛ² could spit, but because of Mase's ²ÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÝ ß ßßÛÛÛÜ Ü²²Û²Ý decision to become a man of the cloth Þ²Û²²Ü ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß ÞÛÛÛÝÜÛÛÛÛÛß and get out of the business, the crew ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßß Ü ÜÛÛÛÜÛÛÛÛÛß fizzled out before they ever really took ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßÛÛÛßÛÛÛÛÛÛß ßÜÜ off. But for the brother who wrote more ÜÜß ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ÞÛ² than half the rhymes on Harlem World's ²ÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÝ album, there was no time or use for ÞÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ²ÛÛ² crying over spilt milk. ²ÛÛ² ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß²ÜÜÜ ÜÜÜ ßßÛÛÜ That same year Loon landed another deal, ÜÛÛßßþ ßÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÛÛÛßßßÜ ÞÛÛ² one that had been waiting for him since ²ÛÛÝ ÞÝ ÞÛÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÝ Üܲ²Û²Ý before the Harlem World debacle, from Þ²Û²²Ü ßÛÜÜÜÛÛÛß ßÛÛÛÛÜÜÜÜÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß none other than Clive Davis. No sooner ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßß ßßÛÛÛßÜÛÛÛÛÛß than a lead single was chosen (featuring ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßÜÜ background vocals by an as-yet-unheard ÜÜß ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ÞÛ² songstress Alicia Keys), Clive left. ²ÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÝ Down and out, lesser artists would ÞÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ²ÛÛ² have crumbled. Three strikes and your ²ÛÛ² ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß out, right? Wrong. ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛ ßßÛÛÜ ÜÛÛßßÛÛÛ ß Ü ÜÜÜÜÜ ÞÛÛ² Harlem's Bad Boy is back with a ²ÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÝ ß ßßÛÛÛÜ Ü²²Û²Ý vengeance and ready to do the damn Þ²Û²²Ü ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß ÞÛÛÛÝÜÛÛÛÛÛß thing. ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßß Ü ÜÛÛÛÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßÛÛÛßÛÛÛÛÛÛß ßÜÜ Toting fifteen songs of pure Bad Boy ÜÜß ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ÞÛ² hip-hop, Loon's debut album doesn't ²ÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÝ need a catchy slogan or flashy name to ÞÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ²ÛÛ² get your attention. Done with the skill ²ÛÛ² ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß passion and commitment expected from one ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß²ÜÜÜ ÜÜÜ ßßÛÛÜ of Harlem's finest, the album shines all ÜÛÛßßþ ßÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÛÛÛßßßÜ ÞÛÛ² on its own, all on the strength of Loon. ²ÛÛÝ ÞÝ ÞÛÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÝ Üܲ²Û²Ý The joint is self titled because it is Þ²Û²²Ü ßÛÜÜÜÛÛÛß ßÛÛÛÛÜÜÜÜÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß Loon. All Loon. And really, that's all ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßß ßßÛÛÛßÜÛÛÛÛÛß that needs to be said. ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßÜÜ ÜÜß ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ÞÛ² "How You Want That," the jump off ²ÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÝ single featuring Kelis is a fierce ÞÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ²ÛÛ² track full of energy that cockily ²ÛÛ² ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß brings things back to the party vibe of ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛ ßßÛÛÜ '97. Flipping an old-school Schooly D ÜÛÛßßÛÛÛ ß Ü ÜÜÜÜÜ ÞÛÛ² beat, the cut is a DJ's dream and a ²ÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÝ ß ßßÛÛÛÜ Ü²²Û²Ý definite club banger. "Relax Your Mind" Þ²Û²²Ü ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß ÞÛÛÛÝÜÛÛÛÛÛß mixes things up laying some fresh Asian ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßß Ü ÜÛÛÛÜÛÛÛÛÛß bells and handclaps over a thumping bass ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßÛÛÛßÛÛÛÛÛÛß ßÜÜ line creating the perfect backdrop for ÜÜß ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ÞÛ² Loon's sh*t-talkin' verbals. ²ÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÝ ÞÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ²ÛÛ² ²ÛÛ² ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß Touching on themes closer to home, ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß²ÜÜÜ ÜÜÜ ßßÛÛÜ "Don't Wanna Die" is a story of three ÜÛÛßßþ ßÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÛÛÛßßßÜ ÞÛÛ² different people, in three different ²ÛÛÝ ÞÝ ÞÛÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÝ Üܲ²Û²Ý life-and-death situations. With keen Þ²Û²²Ü ßÛÜÜÜÛÛÛß ßÛÛÛÛÜÜÜÜÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß insight, Loon describes his characters' ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßß ßßÛÛÛßÜÛÛÛÛÛß moments of transition with a dexterity ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßÜÜ that can only come from real-life ÜÜß ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ÞÛ² experiences. Similar life experiences ²ÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÝ also drive "Like A Movie" featuring ÞÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ²ÛÛ² new-jack Akon and the funny "Not That ²ÛÛ² ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß Guy" to their witty but oh-so-true ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛ ßßÛÛÜ conclusions. ÜÛÛßßÛÛÛ ß Ü ÜÜÜÜÜ ÞÛÛ² ²ÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÝ ß ßßÛÛÛÜ Ü²²Û²Ý "The legacy of Harlem is what triggered Þ²Û²²Ü ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß ÞÛÛÛÝÜÛÛÛÛÛß and motivated me to become an artist," ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßß Ü ÜÛÛÛÜÛÛÛÛÛß says Loon. "If I'm going to do this, ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßÛÛÛßÛÛÛÛÛÛß ßÜÜ that's what I'm going to rep." And ÜÜß ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ÞÛ² that's exactly what he does on the ²ÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÝ blazing old-school feel-good jam "I'll ÞÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ²ÛÛ² Be There" featuring Carl Thomas. And ²ÛÛ² ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß best believe heads - old and new- will ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß²ÜÜÜ ÜÜÜ ßßÛÛÜ be bouncing to Loon's remake of the Guy ÜÛÛßßþ ßÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÛÛÛßßßÜ ÞÛÛ² classic "I Like". And yes, Aaron Hall is ²ÛÛÝ ÞÝ ÞÛÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÝ Üܲ²Û²Ý on the record. Þ²Û²²Ü ßÛÜÜÜÛÛÛß ßÛÛÛÛÜÜÜÜÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßß ßßÛÛÛßÜÛÛÛÛÛß Loon reps for all the ballers, pimps, ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßÜÜ players, and entertainers who never bow ÜÜß ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ÞÛ² out. Ridin' as the first artist on ²ÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÝ next-generation Bad Boy. Rockin' for ÞÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ²ÛÛ² the neighbourhood and culture that he ²ÛÛ² ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß calls his own - minus the drama. ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛ ßßÛÛÜ ÜÛÛßßÛÛÛ ß Ü ÜÜÜÜÜ ÞÛÛ² Loon, the album is as suave charming and ²ÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÝ ß ßßÛÛÛÜ Ü²²Û²Ý laid back as is Loon, the man. Not lost Þ²Û²²Ü ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß ÞÛÛÛÝÜÛÛÛÛÛß in the hype or bright lights is the ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßß Ü ÜÛÛÛÜÛÛÛÛÛß heart of a hustler born and raised in ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßÛÛÛßÛÛÛÛÛÛß ßÜÜ Harlem and the soul of man destined to ÜÜß ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ÞÛ² shine.
