The group effort does serve as an appetizer-inducer for future artists’ projects.
A launching pad for future stars and another accolade in the storied career of others, this one, as they say, is for the culture.
Instead of being a fan of artists whose talent reaches in different directions than his and subsequently exploiting their sound for his own benefit, Cole has provided the ultimate platform for underground artists to succeed.
The best parts of Dreamers III are when Cole & Friends mix it up with their guests and step outside of their comfort zones.
Valiantly shaped into this 18-track hour-long set, it's unavoidably a bit of a pile-up, a nonstop procession of rappers and singers fighting for space and pushing one another with verses and hooks that occasionally relate to one another. Cole makes an effort to tie it together.
Despite having similar shortcomings, Revenge of the Dreamers III is arguably the most promising posse album to have dropped in the past year or so.
