(Dopamine)

I don’t think it will be a stretch to say this could be the hardest 7 minutes of your life. Just hear me out.

This latest EP by Hank Dope features 5 quick-paced songs produced by my main man KHEYZINE, who has produced more than a handful of my favourite records of the year already, and he’s back to present another modern-day killer.

Across this project, Hank hires a list of MC savages such as

-Tragedy Monroe

-Reek Osama

And this trio absolutely redefines the meaning of ‘Grime’ with their cold-hearted flow, precise lyricism, and mean-mugging flow. No matter which one of them is on the beat, they all bring out the same street energy that only the real ones have, the kind of aura that you can’t fake, the vibe of OG’s certified.

The production side of things is, of course, terrific. KHEYZINE hasn’t missed yet, and I’m not sure he knows how to take a L if he tried. Across this one, he masters the art of Boom Bap Grime. It sounds like he captured the real-life atmosphere of the streets and somehow managed to convert that to an MP3 file, split it into 5 parts, and used it for the instrumentals.

It’s raw, unforgiving, ruthless, and neck-splitting. An audio mean-mugging with the intention to kill.

If you don’t like this album, it just means you couldn’t handle it. Only haters of this EP are bitches who had to face 7 minutes of authenticity and fled. Trust me, check this shit out!
