Lawson Graham is a studio album by Canadian hip hop producer Factor Chandelier. It was released on Fake Four Inc. in 2010. It features guest appearances from Gregory Pepper, Cars & Trains, Radical Face, Sole, Myka 9, Ceschi, and Moka Only.[10] It is an ode to Factor's grandfather.[11]
Critical reception
Rick Anderson of AllMusic gave the album 3.5 stars out of 5, saying, "it's emotionally sophisticated rap, and that really is quite unusual."[2] Thomas Quinlan of Exclaim! said, "Lawson Graham is certainly an excellent attempt by Factor to appeal to a wider audience, which is also likely to lead to a greater range of co-conspirators he can work with in the future."[3]
Confront Magazine named it the 2nd best album of 2010.[12]
