My Australian home boy is back! After his impressive release earlier this year, I’m excited to see what he has in store for us this time around, so let’s talk about it!
So, this is the latest album by rapper ‘Artwork Kennedy’, featuring production by Russian producer ‘KeiRy’. It’s described as inspired by anime and A.I.’s ability to destroy humanity.
Across this project, you have features such as
-Big Cheeko
-Jimmibones4president
And right off the bat, I fuck with this production-heavy! It has this electronic, synth feel to it. Exactly like an old-school NES game soundtrack would have, those eerie, apocalyptic sounds and doomed atmosphere are sick to hear across a hip-hop project!
I also love the fluency of it all; there are very few pause moments between the 7 tracks; it’s just like a consistent, non-stopping song with various parts and sections to divide it. Considering this is the first time I’ve heard of this Russian producer, he absolutely nails his part! Fantastic and infectious as hell!
Artwork, first he needed money for a Porsche, now he’s trying to avoid an auto-trigger while providing dope, hypnotic, and cut-throat. A lot of droned, repetitive chorus statements as if he’s stuck in a game glitch and trying to process himself out of it.
He’s always had a solid flow and penmanship, and when given a concept to follow, he’s even more so! Slick bars, intricate lyricism, and sticks to the concept narrative!
Overall, a fantastic visionary album with theatrical production, dope features, and top-notch MC content from Artwork! Another successful drop!
