The pairing of Matt Bones and Samy.Language is one that works well throughout as the former offers well-paced singing verses that interplay with Samy’s fervent flow that tends to dip off into unexpected asides and diagonal wordplay.
Bonelang aims to celebrate and nurture self-awareness as a means for strengthening communal, familial, and romantic relationships. The work forces the cultural cherry picker to look within, digest one's own flaws, and redefine one's outlook with a more full-bodied disposition of compassion, empathy, and love; Matt & Samy included. Bonelang asks to focus more on what we have in common rather than what we do not.
