Alright, let’s dive into Soundboy Fall by Scion Success. This is one of those albums that just hits different, you know? It’s got that raw reggae vibe with a dancehall twist, straight outta Jamaica. Released under City Dawgs, it’s the kinda project that makes you wanna grab a Red Stripe, kick back, and vibe.
First off, I gotta talk about the title track, “Soundboy Fall.” Man, this tune sticks with you. The beat is heavy—like, proper head-nodding stuff—and Scion’s flow just rides it perfectly. There’s this energy in the lyrics that feels both cocky and chill at the same time, like he knows he’s killing it but isn’t trying too hard. What really gets me is how the hook loops in your brain. You’ll be humming it hours later without even realizing it. Like… dang, why won’t this song leave me alone?! But in a good way, obviously.
Then there’s “Unknown Version.” Honestly, this one caught me off guard. At first listen, I was like, “Yo, what’s going on here?” But after a couple spins, it grew on me big time. The production has this murky, almost lo-fi feel to it, which gives it character. It’s not as polished as some of the other tracks, but that’s what makes it stand out. Feels like Scion is letting loose, saying whatever’s on his mind without overthinking it. Kinda refreshing, honestly.
One thing I dig about this album is how authentic it feels. No fake vibes or trying to chase trends—it’s pure Jamaican roots meets modern dancehall swagger. And yeah, sure, maybe the mixing could’ve been tighter in spots, but who cares? Sometimes rough edges make things more real.
Anyway, wrapping this up… listening to Soundboy Fall made me think about how music doesn’t always need to reinvent the wheel to hit home. Sometimes all it takes is honesty and good rhythms. Oh, and fun fact—I ended up accidentally playing “Soundboy Fall” three times in a row because I kept hitting replay before I realized it. True story. So yeah, if you’re into reggae and dancehall, check this out. Or don’t. But you’re missing out if you skip it.
