Okayplayer Gives Top Marks to “Change for a Dollar”

okayplayer-review“Coming off the success of the first mixtape, appropriately titled, Vodka & Rum, and now on the brink of their first full length project, Change for a Dollar, Fly Gypsy is determined to drop heavy anchor in the music scene. . . . On Change for a Dollar, Kom and Alexei deliver a diverse selection of songs, ranging in production as well as lyrical content. Starting the album with the ever-catchy “2 Step,” an infectious track flipped from the Earth Wind and Fire’s Reasons, Fly Gypsy throws the big hook out early. Kom’s voice and flow fit perfectly over the track, almost as if Maurice White is singing backup for him. There is no way anyone can dislike this song. Period. It’s a certified winner, packaged and ready for the Top 40. . . . Change for a Dollar is as much of an experiment as it is an experience. The songs are well crafted, and it’s obvious that the Jamaican. Kowboy Kom, and Russian, Alexei Jendayi, have musical chemistry. Though they come from two totally different cultures, when in the booth, they speak the same language, dance the same dance, and sing the same song.” Read full review at Okayplayer.com.
