(Grimeball Crimelord)

OH SHIT, THE GRIME ERA IS BACK IN SPADES. I know this isn’t everyone’s favourite sound in the game right now; hell, most think this sound is oversaturated right now, but fuck all that noise because this project ain’t any old project; this features the REAL OVERLORDS of the subgenre. The ones that live the sound that everyone else waters down; these are the ones that you really don’t want to catch in a dark alleyway. Hustlers first, artist second. So with that being said, let’s fucking talk about it!

So this 8-track colossus of an album is produced entirely by King Ill Clinton, and as mentioned, he’s recruited only the pioneers of this grime shit.

-Reek Osama

-Mo Rukuz

-Eli The Don

-Snotty

-Daniel Son

-Estee Nack

-Al Divino

-DJ Prominent

-Goretex

-Vas

-CRIMEAPPLE

-Ty Farris

-Skrewtape

-GRIMM Doza

-Tone Spliff

-Ghetto MC

And I’ll be honest, even typing those names into my page for my review gave me goosebumps. This is the essential, perfect cast for the Grimes shit. This is the kind of roster you hire to kill so-called ‘A-List teams’— all those fake-ass superstars who talk big but only do so because they probably keep these boys in good standing because they know if they didn’t, they wouldn’t be talking anymore.

These boys absolutely DESTROY THESE BEATS AND THEN SOME. Every single bar had my face scrunched and my head bouncing. There’s only so much perfect verses in a row your brain can take before you spazz. To me, these are the artists I listen to most on my weekly, so to have them all on the same project is mind-blowing to me. It’s like my playlist came to life and started spitting new bars I haven’t heard before; this is unbelievable— the quality, the flows, the penmanship— I mean, talk about a collective to fear! 

I’ll Clinton, the brains behind the sounds, he’s the catalyst to all this shit, and he knew exactly what he was doing in the studio when coming up with these beats because, of course, they are all downright disgusting, raw, savage, and sinister. To call these beats ‘rough around the edges’ would be the year’s biggest understatement. These beats were never smooth to begin with; they were hacked with axes and left to rot before being utilised for this project.

I can’t stress enough how sick and twisted these beats are; they sound drenched in hatred, left to dry in hostility, and put in place with vengeance and anger until you get the most sadistic atmosphere you can think of!

If you ain’t a fan of this sound, then stay the fuck away! This ain’t for you. This is for the REAL ONES who appreciate the grit, and no one does it better than these names right here!
