After his past few projects and how impressed I was with them, you know I had to check out his past work, and that’s when I found this gem. Let’s talk about it!
So, this is the 2023 project by producer/rapper Circa97. He produced all the tracks and features the likes of:
-Snotty
-Mo Rukuz
-Tesla’s Ghost
-Johnny Storm
-Maze Overlay
-New Villain
And cuts from:
-Jabba The Kut
-EVIL ED
And immediately from the first track, I fell in love with the production. This is the kind of shit that’s right up my alley. We are talking about the dirtiest, grimiest, and rawest sounds in the underground going on. Unforgiving and ruthless in presentation and bloodthirsty in execution.
On this one, Circa ain’t playing around. It makes sense now why he’s as revered as he is now because he took the underground by the throat, walking over skulls to get to the top with deadly instrumentals such as these, absolutely ridiculous beats.
I mentioned above the features, and if that guest list doesn’t leave your jaw hanging, then you’re a fake-ass hip-hop head. These names are some nah, fuck that; these names ARE the dopest in the game right now, and this lineup would annihilate any other match-up you can think of.
Whether you’re talking about the slick and crisp ghetto stomp of the Umbrellas’ own Snotty or the Overlord himself with his deep-toned, murderous raps with Mo Rukuz
Or even the technically gifted and savage bars by New Villain, or who can forget about the Arizona Legend himself, Maze Overlay
Regardless, any man on this team could take out 100 vs 1, so together they are absolutely unstoppable.
I’m so happy I decided to check this one out; it’s everything I look for in a rap record. It’s my kind of sound, verses, and features. No wonder why Circa is notorious; he deserves the acclaim!
