(Unbound)

It’s that exciting time again to cover a brand-new trio at work, all 3 artists I’ve never heard of until now, but I was blessed with the reach out to cover, and so you know I can’t say no to a new opportunity to cover more artists. So, I present to you ‘Unbound’

So, this is a collaboration project between rappers ‘Acewonda’ and ‘Hydrotrust’ and producer ‘Isac No Beat’, and together they release 9 tracks running just under the half-an-hour mark with 28 minutes and feature the likes of 

-Tone Spliff

-Viktori

-Paryss June

So, let’s start with the production. Because what Isac does across this project is marvellous! Because what he does is make every single beat feel larger than life and tremendously pop to the point that each song feels cinematic in style and execution. The way it sounds in any situation, headphones, speaker phone, tv (I tested on all 3) just to make sure I was accurate with my statement, and I was! It has a quality feel no matter the situation you play it on! Which is ridiculous to accomplish!

I hear a combination of 

-Boom Bap

-Traditional Hip Hop

-Jazz

-Soul

And he makes every beat sound magnificent and banging to the point that every single instrumental would be worthy to be played in the club or radio across the world due to his mastery of rhythm and production!

Onto the infamous duo of Ace and Hydro. The two artists that were new to me until now, and yet from this one album I can already tell their perfect chemistry and creative nature as a pair of lyricists! 

They both possess great lyrical skills, fantastic wordplay and penmanship as well as flow smooth as water, never an awkward transition or bar drop between the beats that makes you break your focus as a listener. Each verse was timed correctly and with accurate precision! 

What I love most about these guys is their energy and passion, you can clearly hear in how they talk, spit, and conduct themselves on the tracks. They perform with such fire, conviction, and love for the game that it makes each sentence they say that much more enjoyable and interesting to listen to! Both going back and forth in friendly competition, trying to outdo the other, but in doing so, only improving the other’s technique and words until you’re left with a never-ending situation with both evolving endlessly to try out the other, and I love to be a part of it!

I’m very happy I was sent this project and able to discover these three! Also, shoutout to my main man Tone Spliff, the legend, dope as always, and for the overall fantastic performance by everyone involved!
