London\u2019s stellar vocals blend smoothly with danceable beats.<br \/>\n<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Title track <em>4:20<\/em> follows with a touch of reggae.

Layered vocals add a distinct high atmosphere to the track. <em>Pass It (To The Left)<\/em>, on the other hand, showcase an addict\u2019s frustration and eagerness. I admire how he uses the sexy, soothing arrangement of r&amp;b tunes to tone down its subject, making it more appealing to fans.<\/p>\n<p><em>Sativa<\/em> closes with louder drum beats and fluttering electronic tunes. In this collection, London has created a world that sounds great and holds the listeners within.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"600\" height=\"300\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Lzweopa_Lyw\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>One standout feature of this album is its ability to blend and rejuvenate the subject matter in a way that solicits both emotion and head nodding. It paints a mind map of emotions and thoughts while under the influence of drugs.<\/p>\n<p>All in all, <strong>4:20 The Album<\/strong> is a forward-sounding six-track collection with a lot of fine moments.
