Since discovering Chubs this year with his 2025 drop ‘40 Cal Capone’, I can honestly say he’s been on my replay list for the whole year since. So I naturally had to go through his discography, and I came across this gem. As a hip-hop fan and a wrestling fan, this is the perfect album for me! So let’s talk about it!
So, this was a March 2024 release with 13 tracks and a 32-minute run time and produced by ‘Fumes The Threat’, also a new artist for me, but the production value on this one is some of the best I’ve heard in a minute!
From the opening track, you can hear those raw, dark, and absolutely cut-throat boom-bap beats so hard that I swear my recent neck issues have been due to overdosing on this album and its ridiculous production.
Every track has its own variety of gritty, street underground hip-hop good enough to blow your mind! There’s no beat in this rotation that lacks or sticks out like a sore thumb; it’s just all tough, crisp, and hardcore beats that are thankfully not wasted on any rubbish artist but instead use to its full potential on the man known as Chubs.
Chubs, the man with his impeccable flow, lyricism, and penmanship, has climbed to the very top of my rappers list. I hang on every bar he spits, and the way he can glue words and phrases together is literally unmatched. Plus, his use of ‘Son’ and the spin he puts on it has become a phrase that’s been stuck in my head all year.
Across this project, he’s joined by the likes of:
-Dusty Renoylds
-Supreme Cerebral
-Mondo Slade
-A.M. Early Morning
-Pro Dillinger
All these names are underground royalty! You can’t find better than this group of lyrical monsters, and even so, Chubs stands toe to toe with them with ease; he’s an equally terrifying beast on the mic, and with his magical wordplay, I can’t seem myself getting sick of him anytime soon.
When I tell you this album has been in my Spotify recently played for almost the last 2 months, I mean it. From the wrestling references with Brusier Brody, to the badass album cover, to the immaculate rapping, to the legendary crew of names featured, to the ridiculously talented production, there’s not even a weak second on this project!
