Boonie Mayfield aka Solomon Vaughn hits us up with his latest project "Vaughn Solo 1st Edition" which is packed with witty lyricism, striking metaphors and storytelling. Solomon touches on everything from social issues, relationships and good ol' braggadocios lyricism. Solomon mixes the golden era of hip hop and new school sound with jazzy elements. The one song that stands out the most on the project is "Pass The Offering" with hard hitting lyrics, a catchy hook and intoxicating piano. The whole project is sonically sound and blends well together.
Here's Solomon's latest video "My Love For..."
Solomon Vaughn, aka Boonie Mayfield, aka Boon Doc, hails from Colorado, USA and rose to internet stardom by performing live Hip Hop beats on his MPC 1000 and sharing said performances on Youtube before doing so became a thing. Over the years, he matured as an artist, was robbed of almost all of his equipment and managed to re-emerge as a multi-instrumentalist who no longer depended on sampled material and instead created the type of music that beat-makers would dream of sampling. Unfortunately, not all of his fan base appreciated his progress. Despite the fact that his newer works showed a stepped improvement both technically and musically over his older works, his fan base shrank. Maybe it was because many of his fans were aspiring producers who got left behind in the wake of his progress. Or maybe his shift towards more soulful music threw them off. Whatever the reason, Boonie stuck with his guns and re-emerged as one of the best, and most interesting Hip Hop producers/performers in the wider Hip Hop community today. - ondaflor.com (2014)
