Chapel Hill based rapper Lexicon has dropped his first mixtape of the new decade, “Legend in the Making.” What immediately stands out about these new tracks is the increase in soulful and smooth R&B samples–with piano, female vocals, and the occasional drum brush, Lexicon seems to be trying to change his image into a slightly more classy and professional rapper–out of the streets, and into the legend. For the most part Lexicon’s lyrics are based on similar themes of money, girls, and “the good life,” but the album does offer a new refreshing level of introspection. “A legend in the making,” Lexicon will surely widen his audience with this mixtape, but one still wonders where Lexicon will end up finding his best identity and material.
