Right now it’s 8:16 a.m. here in Australia, and this album has come to my attention, and so I thought, what’s a better way to start my morning than to do a write-up of one of the most creative artists in the underground? Let’s go!
So, this is an EP from 2023. Featuring 6 tracks and MC work from Anomolly and production from GhostXMachine, and features the likes of
-Lex Swank
-Young Stadix
So, right off the bat in the Bandcamp intro, it mentions how ‘Oddmo$i$ Jones’ was created from a void and that his presence alone brings chaos to the order. You know a lot of artists create concept albums and have these wild descriptions on what the album means and how it will go, but once you listen to it, it sounds no different than any other of the numerous projects they’ve dropped in the past.
Nothing worse than an undelivered concept album, but thankfully it’s not the case here! This really sounds like this character ‘Oddmo$i$ Jones’ is alive and running a muck across this album, and I love it!
He sounds like a distorted, reverb being from an alternative universe that has broken through to destroy everything we’ve ever known to be correct or right. He’s here to change EVERYTHING, and the world ain’t ready for it.
For a creature of the void, his rapping skills are pretty dope, his flow is unconventional and unique yet dope in its own way. Its verses are more free-form and freelance compared to normal ones, but that just adds to the mystery of the entity!
I wouldn’t say its lyricism is the strongest I’ve ever seen because it just feels like it’s spurring out random threats and apocalyptic notions, kind of like a pissed-off Rick and Morty character, which would be a terrifying thing to experience. Regardless, as far as aliens go, this is as good as I could expect them to rap!
As far as the production goes, it sounds purely and utterly chaotic. Noise and experimental droning sounds brought forth by the creature itself. On this day, human minds weren’t able to comprehend the sounds and sonic signatures this entity needed, so it brought forth its own form of ‘music’, and to human ears, it sounds erratic and strange to say the very least.
Beware. If you’re a journalist or reviewer or self-proclaimed ‘music addict who listens to all types of music’, this will bring all logic out the window. 5!There will be no rational explanation for the sounds and words you will experience tonight. No rhyme or reason for the despair inside your soul and the confusion in your heart; the fear that takes over you will be immense, and throughout it all, you will just have to ask yourself one question.
What will you do if it returns again?
