I don’t want to make too much of an early prediction here, but I feel this could be our producer of the second quarter. Considering what I heard is coming later as well, not even including this, I feel we have our champ. But let’s let time decide that!
So, this is the brand-new album drop by producer Flu, who I first discovered when he produced the album ‘Jamal Takes Manhattan’ featuring Jamal Gasol, but today he has a list of names to help bring this album to life! Such as:
-Spoda
-Shottie
-Bernz
-SmooVth
-Mav
-All Hail Y.T
-SUBSTANCE810
-Dead Hippie
-CRIMEAPPLE
With this A-list team, you know it’s impossible to miss, and Flu makes sure to make a record worthy of the names involved.
What I love about the production side of things is how crisp, skeletal, and clean each beat sounds. There’s a hint of ‘psychedelic’ to the instrumentals that make each track sound infectious and mind-blowing all in one. I’d say most tracks on here have a slower, more methodically focused pace to them. Instead of trying to be too flashy or overly technical, he’s just making sure to use his mastery to make big and powerful sonic statements for each individual song.
Depending on the feature, the track will sound different to match the different vibe and personality of the MC. That’s one of the things I love most about this album; he’s not just throwing the same sound on the wall; he’s taking time to adjust and craft the perfect sound for the perfect rhymes. This is why Flu is one of the best going!
As I mentioned above, anyone in the game would be beyond impressed with this lineup. Of course, there is no such thing as a bad verse in this world of underground legends. It actually seems they all carry that same ‘methodical’ vibe as the production is. It feels they all have brought their killer, lethal prowess to the table and help maintain that brutal atmosphere to the album, and that feels like a sign of mutual respect to Flu and the efforts he’s putting into the record!
Overall, fantastic record all around. It’s vibrant, memorable, and dope for everyone involved. Definitely a must-listen!
