Man, is there nothing the 6th man can’t accomplish? They’ve already had one hell of a year, and there are no signs of slowing down. From the kingpin ‘The Bad Seed’ to the Queen Pin producer ‘Murda Megz’ to the bloodthirsty foot soldiers that keep the 6th man name feared and respected in these streets!
This time around, we have Apex Killer Crotona P, who has already provided one dope project this year, and this time around, he’s back with producer heavyweight ‘Killa Bong’, and together they feature on this 4-track EP that could be in the running for EP of the year!
Across this short project, we have Killa bring some of the nastiest and grittiest Boom Bap I’ve heard all year! It’s clear-cut, crisp, vibrant, and in your face with its infectious head-bopping production and killer vibes and aesthetics that could rival anyone in the game right now!
Whether you’re talking about the opening track ‘God’s Intent’ with those melodic and hypnotic strings played in that loop over that East Coast-style hip-hop beat, which together creates an absolutely lethal feel to the whole song!
Or whether you’re talking about the third track ‘Life Happens’, which feels like a track ripped straight out of the classic 90’s with its booming instrumentation, which you’d expect Mobb Deep to create! It’s bloodthirsty, cold, and ruthless in every way imaginable with some fun cuts mixed into it by ‘GYNCE’, who absolutely kills his part of the song!
The point I’m trying to convey here is that when a producer like Killa Bong is in the ‘zone’, he can create classics such as this where every track is masterfully composed, where the beats themselves are equally nasty and groovy, and create an EP with plenty of replay value, and I feel that’s exactly what’s happened here.
Now, onto the man himself. Crotona. Who, as previously mentioned, has already provided us with plenty of dope verses over the year, and now he’s back with a motherfucking vengeance because he sounds more unhinged as ever! He’s sporting his trademark ruthless and dangerous flow and vicious wordplay combined with this smart penmanship and confidence cadence that makes all his verses a problem!
Across this EP, he sounds like a man with a point to prove, that he is the man to beat in this game, and he means it. Across this one, he brings with him the artists
-J. Vengeance
-Kingdom Kome
Both men who are absolute killers in their own right and make for a ridiculous duo track with each man having perfect chemistry with each other, and both maintain the murderous intent and vibes across their verses, and it’s fitting they both respectfully share the first and last spot on the EP.
Once again (unsurprisingly), Crotona pulls off another dope project, and alongside Killa, they could never lose, and I hope we can hear more from them in the future!
Also, if you check my website, a singles review for their track ‘Compel’ is also available!
