This has been an anticipated release for me, and I’m so excited for the opportunity to finally cover it! The latest album by rapper Teller Bank$ (that’s banks with a capital $) and underground sensation Wino Willy, who has produced some of my favourite projects in recent years, are coming together, so let’s get about it!
This is an 8-track project with 22 minutes in length. What it lacks in length, it more than makes up for in aura, personality, and charisma! The energy in this under half an hour could outweigh a lot of the releases this year!
Starting with that production by Wino. On this one, he’s decided to pull off what I can only describe as a raw, gritty fever dream sound! Very experimental and cold! I’m talking a lot of distorted chords playing over funky beats and various instruments to provide the listener with a colourful sonic experience from track to track! No two songs are the same in the effort to create an unpredictable atmosphere paired with masterful and crisp production, and you get without a doubt one of the most interesting listenings I’ve had all year!
Now, Teller. What can be said about his form that hasn’t already been said? He’s gained a reputation as one of the most unique and versatile players in the underground right now. His voice stands out, his high intensity in his bars is second to none, and his lyrical abilities are sought out by everyone in the game, always asking him for features across already many projects this year alone.
He’s a one-of-a-kind rapper who fathered his own style, and across these wild beats, he fits perfectly at home and goes hard on top of them! This project only has one feature in ‘Ghais Guevara,’ who does well matching the energy across this project and leaves the rest of the 7 songs for Teller to explode on his own, and he does that with the utmost ease and comfortability!
Teller Bank$ and Wino Willy. A match made in chaos and one I can’t unsee now. I really hope these two can make more in the future because they suit each other perfectly!
