(Couldfellas)

I gotta be honest, it’s been a minute since I’ve even listened to a ‘supergroup’, let alone reviewed one. I think the last group I remember fucking with was ‘Army Of The Pharaohs’, so this is an exciting opportunity for me! So let’s talk about it!

This is the second studio release by group ‘Wise Guise’, which consists of the following members: 

-Fubar

-Hi-Q

-Jake Haw

-Absoulut Karnage

-Edd Bundy

And these boys come with a fresh 10 tracks featuring the likes of -DJ TMB on the cuts, and together they release a banger of an experience that will surely ring through the minds and ears of all Hip-Hop fans alike!

Speaking on the production (handled by Edd), this has a unique combination of larger-than-life, theatrical sounds, grime, and boom bap instrumentals!

For example, the outro track ‘Couldfellas’ has a beat that sounds like it was ripped right out of ‘Lord Of The Rings’, like they recorded a sample sound from Mordor itself, absolutely nuts.

Other tracks like ‘Ashes To Ashes’ have this melodic and crisp instrumentation loop over a traditional Boom Bap/Classical-influenced beat. 

There are a lot of variations in sounds on these 10 tracks, and Edd masterfully knows how to craft each inspiration into a banging/catchy track.

When it comes to the rhyming, each man knows exactly how to hold their own. Even Edd himself is on a few tracks showcasing his diversity as a producer and a rapper. Each man knows exactly what they need to do and spits flames accordingly.

We are talking: 

5x Personalities

5x Egos

5x Different Styles and Cadences.

And it’s in these differences that make for such an interesting listen! Nothing worse than listening to a collab project and you can’t differentiate the voices you’re hearing from MC to MC. But here, just like with ‘Army Of The Pharaohs’, you can distinguish each man clearly and get to enjoy a different aura and vibe with each voice on the mic! 

The Verdict? A fantastic showing by 5x of the prime underground artists we have right now (as well as DJ TMD) 

They have great chemistry, connection, and synergy that provide for one of the most banging listens you’ll have all month! Don’t miss out!
