#118 SUNDAY DINNER ALBUM REVIEW - #NICKGRANT
In episode #118 of the podcast, Hip-Hop’s Godson, Mark the Realist, and Nesquik review Nick Grant’s "Sunday Dinner", a soul-seasoned album served fresh from the heart of South Carolina. The trio dives into Grant's lyrical legacy, comparing his storytelling finesse to Nas, Jay-Z, and Common. Described as a lyrical craftsman with a vintage flair and sharp metaphors—like the instant classic “Never trust a chick in leopard bra—she a cheetah”—Nick is celebrated for his smooth yet commanding delivery that evokes both nostalgia and newness. The hosts marvel at his evolution from funk-driven fun on “Love Land” to the deeply introspective and potent bars of “Sunday Dinner,” affirming his versatility and lyrical credibility.
Throughout the episode, the hosts piece together the album’s cinematic richness, likening it to a Sunday afternoon spent in Grandma’s house—complete with haircuts on couches and meals plated with love. They unravel lines laced with history, double entendres, and conscious jabs at modernity, spotlighting Nick Grant’s ability to hold his own among titans like Kendrick and J. Cole. The reverence is real: co-signs from Nas, Andre 3000, and TI underscore his place in the pantheon of underrated greats. As the crew reflects on Grant’s raw authenticity and powerful pen, they make one thing clear—this isn’t just an album review; it’s a celebration of a wordsmith who cooks up culture with every bar.
