Inland Empire’s own 60 East has released their long-awaited debut album, My Hometown. It has been a long time coming and is well overdue, but it’s finally here. The album features production from Khrysis, Eric G., and Sndtrak of The Soul Council, along with collaborations from Sa-Roc, Blu, Blueprint, Trizz, Oktane, Sly Boogy, DJ Rhettmatic, and Stephanie Soul.

The intro features an appearance by Radio Host Big Boy from The Real, leading into “What’s My Name” and “Freeway.” These tracks introduce listeners to 60 East’s hip-hop journey, highlighting his roots in Ontario, California, and sharing the story behind his name. This segues into “Out the Inland,” where he elaborates on his experiences growing up in the neighborhood.

“Hold On” shifts the focus to his current journey, exploring how he has navigated various opportunities that have arisen. My Hometown delivers an intimate narrative about his upbringing in the Inland Empire.

“Purty Ugly” delves deeper into 60’s goals and the struggles he faces in pursuing them. He shares a story from his trip to France (Somewhere in France), highlighting the similarities and differences between France and the United States, while elaborating on the pros and cons of being involved in hip-hop. The track “Chess” uses the metaphor of chess to describe his strategic approach to navigating his career, contrasting it with the fast-paced movements of checkers.

“In” uses clever rhymes and metaphors, connecting flows and punchlines while incorporating wordplay with the term “in.” The track explores personal connections drawn from various experiences. In “Soul Fly,” 60 East features Blu, Sa-Roc, and Stephanie Soul, who harmonize on the chorus, each contributing to the theme of feeling “so fly” in relation to their current status. Concluding with “Lil Brother,” 60 reflects on his journey, showcasing how far he has come and how he is now shining on his own terms.

60 definitely went all in with their bars. Everyone has a story to tell, but this one is definitely worth a listen.

Album Rating 8/10
