(Death By Design)

With all the fire that’s been dropped in the first two months alone, my expectations are pretty high for new releases, and I can’t believe that this one has taken those expectations, stomped them to the ground with some blood-soaked cleats, and took their spot as one of the toughest sounds in the game right now. 

This is the latest duo album by underground titans G Fam Black & P-Ro, who return with a new 13-track record featuring production by the likes of: 

-P-Ro

-Mike Martinez

-Crack Sizzlack

-Hi-Q

-Hues

-CLOAQXDAGGER

And these underground Court Of Owls made a rare appearance out of the shadows to help make a record that’s so vicious, so deadly, and so fucking bloodthirsty that it would make Kratos cringe in a corner at the sight.

The production on this is beyond incredible. The raw, gritty vibes are only comparable to one album so far this year, ‘K. Burns X Hiyah777’ War Dogs LP. But this is definitely giving that a run for its money.

The beats are relentless and chaotic in nature; every beat feels like an instrumental crafted by Aries himself and makes you scrunch your face up while bobbing your head, damn near paralysing yourself in the process; it goes THAT HARD.

As far as the rapping goes. What else would you expect from this duo? If you saw The Hardy’s in their prime, would you doubt them? If you saw Estee Nack and Al Divino on a track together, would you doubt it? If you saw Mickey Diamond and Big Ghost together again, would you doubt that?

The point is, some pairings are just destined for greatness, and these two haven’t made a flop in their fucking life. They could be chilling together just watching TV, and somehow the universe would translate that into a dope album.

These two have immaculate flow, lyrical ability, and penmanship. The beats are grimy, but their energy is more so. They are devils on the mic, and they haven’t slowed down a bit yet, and they are back to prove why they are one of the most feared and respected duos in the game. 

Do I have to spell it out for you guys any further? GO LISTEN TO THIS RECORD. It’s everything a Hip Hop fan could dream of and I guarantee you won’t be done with just one listen!
