London-based MC Magno Garcia and producer EvillDewer didn't rush back from an eight-year absence – they came back when they had something worth saying, and So We Loved Ourselves reflects that discipline in every bar and every chord change. EvillDewer holds the production throughout: melodic jazz-rooted sampling, unhurried grooves, a palette that gives Garcia room to breathe without letting him disappear. Garcia approaches the album as a writer first – his delivery is measured and deliberate, his structures literary rather than formulaic, his subject matter moving between personal reckoning and wider cultural reference. "The Jazz In My Head" captures that tension best, where production and lyricism feel genuinely intertwined rather than layered on top of one another. "Mansa Musa $$$" expands the frame toward history and legacy without the forced gravity that topic often invites. This is not an album about comeback. It is an album about what accumulates when you are honest with yourself over time.
