Man, there’s just a certain atmosphere you feel as a listener when you hear two legends come together, and this is that right here! Two of the best to ever do it collaborating on what could very well be considered ‘album of the year’, so let’s talk about it!
So, this is a monstrous duo of producer ‘Bronze Nazareth’ and rapper ‘Termanology’, and together they feature 12 songs and a 30-minute length with features such as:
-Hex Murda
-Wais P
-Jon Connor
-Nim K
-DJ Eyeball
-Superstah Snuk
-Marv Won
-Salute Da Kidd
And man, this thing is truly a modern-day classic, and I don’t use that term lightly. From the production to the deep and personal lyricism, this project is loaded with layers of greatness that could take a whole-hour video to try and explain and still wouldn’t get to the bottom of.
Starting with the production by Bronze. On this one, he brings a Masterclass in how to bring to life each and every sample, instrument, and note. Every second of the production sounds cinematic and larger than life. It sounds as if they set a soundtrack to be heard at a theater, and it was ripped right from that to the album; it’s just so fucking sonically ripe that it makes most other records I’ve heard this year sound flat and watered down in comparison.
This kind of atmosphere reminds me of the classic late 90’s era of Hip Hop. Similar sound concept as last year’s Common X Pete Rock album but with more depth, detail, and artistry (at least to me).
While I felt that album was just relying on the nostalgic sound of the 90’s, this album takes inspiration from that era, but Bronze puts his own modern twist and creates something original that pays homage to that nostalgic time period while constructing something fresh and interesting.
Of course, as legendary as Bronze is, so is his accomplice in crime with Termanology. A man who has spent years crafting his style and making him one of not only the most respected rappers in the game but also the biggest threats in the industry.
His lore-worthy lyricism, flow, and penmanship are stuff of legends. In this album specifically, he brings to the table so many personal and heart-breaking stories about his childhood that just leave your jaw dropped regarding his family and upbringing. He’s not leaving anything left unsaid, and he wants the world to know the exact experiences that he lived through to be where he is today, right now.
All those years later, his words are still as sharp as blades, his flow still as fluent as water, and his verses still as solid as they’ve ever been. Paired with Bronze, there’s literally no way they can lose, and they don’t!
I love the selected features they chose to add to this project because they add a lot to the tracks they work on and help elevate the album from a 10/10 to a 15/10!
Long story short, this thing is a fucking masterpiece! Every single element works perfectly, and I see this as the bar for the rest of 2025. This is the album to match against!
