(201 Degrees)

Talking about another dope duo as we’ve seen so many this year already, but these guys really set the standard that little bit higher, so let’s talk about it!

This is the new collaboration between MC Vincent The Owl and producer Felons, who utilise 19 minutes better than I’ve seen this year so far! Featuring the likes of 

-Estee Nack

-Mayhem Lauren

When it comes to the production, this thing is TOUGH! It’s the perfect combination of raw, crisp, dirty, grimey, and masterful all at once. This thing sounds like a David Lynch project if he decided to go the rap route and make some of the sickest, filthy production you’ve heard in a minute!

I also love his use of various genre samples and loops to suit the atmosphere of the specific song! He utilised different instruments and aesthetics that make every track have its own character and personality! 

Vincent, who just like an Owl sounds nocturnal in nature. Like someone who spends his time writing his verses in the heart of night, using the darkness to drive his sinister energy, passion, and lethal prowess to have a one-up on everyone else in the game!

Across this project, he doesn’t have a weak moment. Every sentence delivered on track, on beat, and done so smoothly it damn near blends with the production into one!

He has a cold, serious tone and cadence that makes his sound absolutely phenomenal in the studio and fits the category of sounds provided for him as he rocks them out with ease!

I love everything about these 7 tracks. Although it’s only 18 minutes, it feels like 30 in its atmosphere, vibe, and aura. Highly recommend!
