Great Review by Tim Larew of Freshheir.com

It was about a week ago the first time I sat down to listen to Boom Vox’s debut album Shoot The Moon. At that point, I had heard of the Boston-based hip-hop duo, but I wasn’t too familiar with the music. I put on my headphones, pressed play, and within ten seconds of the opening song, I was hooked. I wasn’t quite sure what exactly I was listening to, but I was hooked. Eighteen songs later, it was clear to me that Sam Scott and Al-J, who came together to form Boom Vox just six months ago under the Leedz Edutainment label, had created one of the most unique, experimental hip-hop albums of the year. Shoot The Moon can’t be simply defined as a hip-hop album because it’s more than that. With this project, Boom Vox combined elements of rap, R&B, pop, techno, and even some rock and dubstep, and they managed to blend it all seamlessly, all the while over top-notch production from Matty Trump and Rob Whitaker and including features from the likes of Cam Meekins, Spose, Rite Hook, Stu Cat, Mickey Factz and Dre Robinson. The result is an album with an incredible variety of sounds and one that truly keeps listeners on their toes from start to finish. The combination of Sam Scott’s smooth vocals and Al-J’s old school, calculated delivery in his rhymes makes for a such fresh change of pace, and if the duo’s debut album is any indiction of what’s to come in the future, Boom Vox will certainly be far from a hidden gem very soon. While Shoot The Moon is naturally far from flawless, it’s an extremely complete album from top to bottom, and it serves as an ideal introduction to two extraordinary talents coming together as one.
