A New Dope is a bold move for Boston rap stalwarts 7L & Esoteric, a rap group up to this point content with their "golden age" boom-bap sound. The duo's newest release is a drastic change from what has come before, as the emcee and producer literally break apart their established sound and start from the ground up. Esoteric alters his classic sound with drastic shifts in tone and tempo from what we've heard before. Coupled with 7L's eclectic beat array, A New Dope is the epitome of rap progression.
