It’s time to take another look at the Black Soprano Family. A crew founded by Benny The Butcher and has spawned some of the most skilled players in the game right now:
-Flames Dot Malik
-Rick Hyde
And now we introduce IMYOUNGWORLD to that roster, and based on how good the others are, I’m excited to explore this one!
So, we have 9 tracks and 22 minutes. Featuring the likes of -Sule, and straight off the bat, what’s brought to the listeners’ attention is the larger-than-life and mainstream feel this sound unleashes and represents. It’s something BSF has become notorious for with all their releases, regardless of the style and level of grit attached to them; each album sounds high-profile, crisp, and provides that rich atmosphere that makes you want to play this at a club or across the nation on the radios and cars!
That’s how big this feels, especially when you have tracks like ‘9 to 5’ with those melodic vocal sample loops, those trumpets, and that traditional up-beat hip-hop beat which sounds like something you’d hear from Joey Badas$$ or Logic, and they do this production justice!
Or even the track ‘GUAGM’ which opens the album off with that smooth gospel vocal sample which turns into this thudding and heavy-handed boom-bap beat enough to slap you in the face!
This album has so many different sounds and feels and inspirations that feel like strands of the man’s soul come to life, used as sonic fuel to be on his best game!
Speaking of, we have IMYOUNG the man who is fresh to me, and after listening to this album, I was once again blown away by this artist.
Once again, BSF found a guy who has true passion, talent, and energy. He ain’t just rapping; he’s pouring his heart and soul into these bars, and you can hear it in his tone, cadence, and emotions that are drenched all over the record. Regardless of what he’s talking about, whether it’s about his past life or what he’s excited about or present life in general, he’s putting his best foot forward and puts all his effort into every word!
He has impeccable flow, sharp and introspective lyricism, and his overall performance in the tracks is infectious and inspiring! He’s proving why he’s one you should look out for in the game right now and having fun with it, the perfect combination!
All in all, another W from BSF. They are developing a roster that could rival anyone going right now, and I’m excited to see the rise!
