(CHEESEBOARD BILLY)

This is now my second time covering a William Bostick record, and I couldn’t be more excited! So let’s talk about it!

This is another EP, this time with 6 songs and a 15-minute runtime. The album features: 

-7even Thirty 

-Svn Sinz

And from the first song, the project starts off strong with the sample of Eriyah Badu’s debut album ‘Baduizm’, which I thought was super dope.

From there, the album remains strong with the other 4 tracks, with strong, heavy boom bap vibes mixed with smooth, classical elements to make this unusual yet banging mix of inspirations!

I love how the 5 tracks try their hands with different sounds and vibes to create this one-of-a-kind EP. There’s no limit to William’s taste and ambition, and that’s something I respect about him! 

Like how on track 3 has this ‘Spanish feel to it with that fast-paced loop over those high-pitched keys’ that makes the atmosphere feel foreign and mysterious!

Or the track 4 that once again features classical female vocals just like track 3 did! All these different influences I love to hear, and especially that he had the ability to use them! Nothing but respect for the production!

Now, onto the rapping. Once again, just like his other EP, he brings with him his energetic personality and passion for his art to bust out raw lyricism, effortlessly done bars, flow, and penmanship! He’s an artist’s artist, and he doesn’t apologise for that!

He’s less flashy and more substance in his style. He’s just out here rocking the beats with savage bars and showing off his skill! Even across the two features, he remains on equal footing and shows us once again why he’s not one to sleep on!

All in all, for 15 minutes, this thing fucking slaps. Loved every track, every beat, and all the verses! Definitely not a project to sleep on!
