Maestro Fresh Wes - Maestro Zone

Review by Javier Fernandez Arce

Maestro Zone, the latest album by Maestro Fresh Wes, is a testament to the rapper's longevity and staying power in the Canadian hip hop scene. The album, released in 2020, showcases Maestro's signature flow, with lyrics that are both introspective and socially conscious.

The album opens with the track "I Know Your Mom", a playful take on the classic "your mama" jokes that dominated hip hop in the 90s. From there, Maestro delves into more serious topics, such as police brutality ("Pig City"), gentrification ("Welcome to the Gentrification"), and the struggles of being a black man in today's society ("Black Tuxedo").

Maestro's collaborations with other Canadian artists, such as Classified and Saukrates, add depth and variety to the album. "Timeless" is a standout track that features a smooth, jazzy beat and introspective lyrics about the passage of time.
