Album Review: No Bother Trouble Me by Little Lenny
Alright, so I gave No Bother Trouble Me by Little Lenny a spin, and lemme tell ya—this thing has vibes. Like, legit reggae-dancehall vibes that just slap you in the face with chillness. Produced by D. Germain under Penthouse Records (big ups to them), it’s got that US twist but still feels like it could’ve been born in Jamaica. It’s short, sweet, and kinda raw, which is cool because sometimes less is more, y’know?
The title track, “No Bother Trouble Me,” sticks out for sure. It’s one of those tunes where you’re like, "Oh yeah, this is gonna be my life motto." The beat? Super smooth. Not too much going on, but enough to make your head nod without even tryna. Little Lenny’s flow matches perfectly—it’s laid-back yet sharp, like he’s whispering secrets into your ear while sipping coconut water. You can’t help but vibe with how carefree it feels. And honestly, who doesn’t need an anthem about not letting stress get to ‘em? This jam reminds me of lazy Sundays when all you wanna do is zone out and ignore whatever drama’s floating around.
Then there’s the version track, “No Bother Trouble Me (Version).” Now, usually remixes or versions feel kinda repetitive, right? But nah, this one flips the script just enough. They strip things down a bit, add some extra echoey goodness, and let the bassline really take center stage. It gives off major late-night-drive energy, like you’re cruisin’ through empty streets with nothing but stars above you. It’s simple, but man, does it hit differently. If the original track is your daytime vibe, this one’s definitely for after-hours introspection.
Overall, No Bother Trouble Me ain’t trying too hard—and that’s what makes it work. There’s no flashy overproduction or crazy features; it’s just straight-up good music that lets the genre speak for itself. Reggae and dancehall fans will eat this up, no question.
Final thought though—why only two tracks?! Like bruh, give us more! I was vibin’ so hard I didn’t want it to end. Guess that’s the point though… leaves you wanting more, kinda like life itself. Hmm. Deep.
