I am a music writer and as such I have learned to remain as objective as possible when it comes to critiquing music, even when the music belongs to a man I have dreamt of in the past. I am freely admitting this. Fine. But when an actor decides to make music, there can be disastrous consequences. Driis, better known as Idris Elba, has dropped a 9th Wonder-produced single, "Private Garden," that does have a title that is a bit cliché. Despite the Hip Hop soulful stylings of this song, however, it manages to work. He knows his limitations and doesn't overstep them. No, I have not forgiven him for his rhyming over Jay Electronica's "Exhibit C." Only time will tell if High Class Problems, due February 8th, will prove that he is able to hold his own.
