What an exciting day, a brand-new SOO DO KOO project! This man is a real threat; he has the capacity to write, perform, and produce all his own music, and I could count on my one hand those that can do the same.
So, this new project is 12 tracks long. Now, right off the bat, from the first song, you can hear his masterful instrumentation and production. I can’t believe he’s only 27. He’s 4 years younger than me, and he’s producing fire like this.
From the previous 2 projects I’ve heard of his, I’ve learnt one thing: he’s a creative genius. Everything he does comes with a level of controlled chaos, originality, and precision.
Also, regardless of the sound, inspiration, or genre used for the various beats, he has the ability to make everything sound ‘theatrical’ and ‘cinematic,’ which I find absolutely amazing.
Sure, some tracks across albums can come across that way, but to have every track sound that way is unreal; his level of fluency, masterful technique, and attention to detail makes this project just like his other two I heard him produce— a must-listen for all Hip Hop Heads.
Now, onto his rapping. Of course, since he made the beats, he’d create instrumentals he felt most comfortable with, and you can hear it. He’s relaxed, smooth, crisp, and confident with his bars. He has impeccable flow that feels naturally gliding across the production; his wordplay is intelligent and introspective, and his penmanship is severely underrated across the underground landscape.
Sometimes the best presents are the ones you didn’t know you were getting, and this one was a gift and a half! Soo Do Koo shows us once again why he’s not only one of the most underrated artists out but why he’s one that shouldn’t be taken lightly!
