In 2005, Black Lotus released his only LP under Chambermusik, soon forgotten. This act is a duo consisting of Dragonfly and Long Axe, the only guest is Jim Kelly and the production is entirely done by Bolo's Kitchen. They are all members of The Beggaz, Washington D.C. hip-hop group, distant affiliate of the Wu-Tang Killa Beez. The two emcees deliver bars with good flow and regular style on solid and honest East Coast boom bap music, Bolo's Kitchen proves to be a good producer by placing beautiful bass lines and by wrapping lean and hard midtempo drums around effective and essential jazz loops, in particular the whole project seems to be a praise to the piano. "Constantly Rising" and "Stress Ya Got" tend to stand out from the rest of the songs. Recommended for New York jazz rap fans, it could easily be one of the most successful albums of the year.
