I still maintain that when done right, not much is better than a solid collaboration. This time round, we have one of the dopest pairings you’ll see anywhere!
So, this is the new album by producer Vincent Pryce and rapper Slik Jack. On this one, the features are as follows:
-Daniel Son
-Bub Styles
-Pro Dillinger
-Dj KutKaper
-AYOO BIGZ
-Asun Eastwood
-Snotty
-Chubs
This line-up is probably the most overkill you could ever hope to have on one album. Absolutely insane list.
Across this project, Vincent dives deep into that cutthroat, bloodthirsty Boom Bap sound. Every single beat sounds like it’s waiting to jump out of the headphones and strangle you! You can feel every instrument, key, and beat so intensely that it runs throughout your whole body and soul until it feels like you’ve done a whole workout after the album is done.
When you incorporate the level of talent that you have on this one, you know the production has to be on point and then some! But Vincent, being the professional he is, understood the task completely and made sure to pour as much mayhem, violent intentions, and grime as you can to make this one of the most booming instrumentals you’ll hear all year!
Now, Slik Jack. The lyrical mastermind who’s spent years grinding and sharpening his skills to the point where he can hold his own against anyone in the underground today. Which is evident from the list of affiliates he decided to recruit!
Slik has this cold, raw, and monotone voice that makes you feel like you’re listening to a legit killer on the track. That, combined with his intense flow, sophisticated lyricism, and dope bars, makes him an all-rounder threat.
He doesn’t skip a beat on any of the tracks, and every word he spits sounds like sonic knives stabbing you right in your earlobes. Not many could slip into these instrumentals as smoothly as he does! He fits them as tailor-made as anyone else in the game.
When he’s rapping alongside these legends, he’s of course going toe to toe and proving why he’s the one not to fuck with in this hip-hop game.
Definitely album of the year, no question. From the savage production to the intense rhyming and features, this is a project that will be near impossible to beat!
