(OVA)

Nothing quite as satisfying as finding a short and dope EP, and this is exactly what we have here with the latest release by Solute. 

On this one, we have three tracks: 

-Solute Scorsese 

-Kuabara Bars

-Doja

All tracks produced by Lou Daydream, who helped create a smooth, fresh, and what feels like a Lo-Fi/Ambient/Jazz fusion across these Hip Hop beats. 

Across the three tracks, they all sonically resemble a beautiful Sunday morning walk through a forest on a windy spring day. This is the kind of production I could release to stress out and just relax throughout the day. I love beats like this, and it kind of reminds me of the production ‘Milo’ or ‘R.A.P Ferreria’ would use, and I love every second of it.

Now, on to Solute, he’s found himself pairing well with the instrumentals provided. Even though this EP is only short, he doesn’t let that stop him from spitting fresh bars across all three, solid verses, wordplay, and penmanship to match the wonderful production.

I feel the last track is where he shows us a more ‘bragging’ tone and confident cadence, a tad bit more aggressive than the first two but equally as impressive lyricism. I take it as him trying to make a statement on the outro track, which would make sense if that was the intention, especially considering that’s the song featuring the legendary ‘Maze Overlay,’ and that’s not the kind of guy you’d want to sound subpar next to! Great chemistry between the two!

Overall, short, sweet, and successful performance in this 7-minute project. I know there will be more coming throughout the year, but for now, this is a great little appetiser to keep the palate satisfied and waiting for more!
