This has been quite a year already for Black Soprano Family with some quality drops from their roster, and now it’s time for the label’s magnum opus! Let’s get into it.
This massive album is 14 tracks with 45 minutes in length, all beats produced by Ill Tone Beats and executively produced by El Camino, and features some of the heavyweight of the culture such as:
-WestSide Gunn
-Conway The Machine
-Rome Streetz
-Jae Skeese
-Benny The Butcher
-El Camino
-AZ
-Ghostface Killah
-Flee Lord
-Gully
-Player K
-Smoke DZA
-Chase Fetti
-The Black Abstract
-Stove God Cooks
-OT The Real
As I said, a MASSIVE album, and this release feels like Benny’s version of a ‘Hitler’s Wears Hermes’ drop. With dope features, dope production, and dope execution of the roster provided.
Starting with the production, Ill Tone brings his best on this one, utilising and understanding how to create the best beats depending on who’s on what track and uses his masterful techniques to create an album that’s not only banging but cohesive and structurally perfect.
The various sounds across this thing are:
-Grime
-Boom Bap
-Soul
-RnB
-Jazz
-East Coast 90’s Era.
Each track is crisp, raw, smooth, and deviant for all the right reasons! In some tracks, you get that beautifully hypnotic vocal loop beat, and in some, the hardcore in your face Boom Bap that will slap your face right off! Depending on the feature, the atmosphere will change accordingly!
As you’d expected there’s no bad feature! All these legends are on their best game. I was a tad bit disappointed that Ghostface was only on an interlude on an actual verse but it’s still dope to hear his voice on the project!
I love Smoke DZA’s verse and that gorgeous Jazz track he was rapping on!!
Seeing the likes of AZ and Rome Streetz was a pleasant surprise and the usual roster of artists from Griselda to Jae Skeese all leave nothing on the table and deliver memorable verses!
Overall, a dope compilation album by BSF. Larger than life and perfectly composed. Go check this one out!
