Every now and then I see a project that goes viral all over my socials. People talking and mentioning it until it can’t be ignored. This is one of those cases, so let’s talk about it!
This is the latest album collaboration album by legendary outfit ‘GCM’, started by the iconic Planet Asia and has proceeded to feature his entire roster!
Who comes with 12 songs with a 41-minute run time. Across this project, the features are:
-Planet Asia
-K. Burns
-Piff James
-Tristate
-Midaz The Beast
-Montage One
-Supreme Cerebral
-Yaboycosmo
-Lenox Hughes
-Styliztik Jones
-Washeyi Choir
Talk about a conglomerate and a half. These names control the underground right now and have for years! Most of GCM, but still makes me happy to see so many heavy hitters on this project!
Across this project, the legendary production by DirtyDiggs doesn’t disappoint the hype of this army appeal record as he shows off his theatrical and cinematic quality instrumentation and dominance in style and direction!
Every beat has its own powerhouse dynamic and aura to it. For example, the track ‘Butter Knives’ that features this choir-like male vocal loop that gives you goosebumps across a very wavey and fluent string-heavy beat that leaves you with an infectious head nod that can’t be contained!
Or the track ‘Concerning Us’, which literally sounds like an army marching in one spot with drums in their hands with a flag of America flying high. This would have to be the most patriotic song I’ve heard in a minute; just the whole atmosphere of it reminds me of the military!
Even the track ‘Set It Off’, which embraces Diggs’ smooth side, with an absolutely beautiful jazz-filled loop across a simple traditional hip-hop beat in the background. This sounds like if Miles Davis was resurrected and hired for this one beat because of how perfect it all sounds! Probably my favourite beat on the album!
With the roster equiped on this project you can’t lose. Every song has MC heavyweights who don’t pull punches. Every verse is strong, crisp, deadly and savage.
There’s no such thing as weak bars across these guys and they make sure to obliterate every instrumental laid infront of them with the hottest flows and penmanship you’ve heard in a minute!
GCM are as great as it gets. They could make an album every day for the whole year and still not miss. When you have the talent they have you can’t hope to lose. I could listen to these guys all day! Quality production, lethal rapping and the most consistent of features! Definitely recommend!
