Man, not gonna lie. Considering his dope rap name, I really hope we get a whole series of albums based on this one! Like
-Who’s Johnny?
-Why’s Johnny?
-When’s Johnny?
-What’s Johnny?
But hey, that’s just dumb geeking out. New album, let’s get to it!
So, new Here’s Johnny album this time he’s collaborating with producer ‘Wulverine’, which is another badass name. Together they bring forth 6 new tracks that are sure to rip your ears apart piece by piece.
Talking about the production, this time around there’s a lot more focus on Dark Jazz, Classical, and Ambient sounds.
I love the hypnotic, trippy, and reverb effects to these elements. This production sounds like someone purposefully took a handful of the most beautiful and infectious classical music and deformed, mutated, and distorted it until it came out a whole different beast or a brand new (mutant)
These chilling and cold-pressed samples are so tough they could penetrate Magneto’s Helmet, smooth enough to sweet-talk Jean Grey, and sharp enough to match Logan’s adamantium’s claws. Point being, this puts the ‘X’ in the ‘Extraordinary’, and it would take a lot more than a striker to try and shut down instrumentals as cinematic and theatrical as these! Wolverine may not be real, but the aura of ‘Wulverine’ is alive and kicking, and he doesn’t need Bobby to blow any ice into his shit; it’s been frozen cold from the first track!
Here’s Johnny. The man with the cadence more intense than Juggernaut and equally as deadly. There’s no father to his style; he can come on and off the track like Nightcrawler, keeping you guessing where he’ll land his bars next.
He could borrow and replicate anyone’s flow like Rogue, and when it comes to guessing what’s coming next, he may as well have his own personal Cerebro because trust me, he’s always 10 steps ahead!
Whether he’s showing his furious yet intellectual side like Beast or dropping thunder penmanship like Storm he’s always the ‘Summers’ of the room. The leader, the one who commands the room and takes control of the situation.
Whether it’s Bishop or Cable, even the strongest need assistance sometimes and this time they choose to call in the all mighty sonic hero’s
-JSHXNOBI
-Heartbreak Julio
-FIGERSON
And accompanied by this new sound studio strength it’s them that will bring the ‘apocalypse’ the 3 horsemen of MC Lore fly high and their pens set fire to everything in sight!
Overall, this is one fantastic project! The production is original and memorable. The lyricism is tight and the features kill!
Whenever the industry is in crisis. They’ll know who to call an to the question of ‘Where’s Johnny?’ Well it’s simple. Out there Saving the art of hip hop.
