It seems like a familiar sight has returned, sneaking under an alias. It seems with maybe less of “ HERE’S JOHNNY” to review, he’s chosen the Mick Foley route and unleashed his Cactus Jack persona with ‘JohnnyBeBad’ and this time with a production effort by ‘LYNCHVILLAIN’, we have 20 minutes and 07 seconds of dope content to get through, so let’s get to it!
So 6 tracks. No features, and talking the production side of things, this one feels like Johnny is tapping into his ‘Griselda’ era of music. With gritty boom bap combined with sparkling and destructive sample loops that, when combined, create a devastatingly strong sonic presence real enough to punch you in the face!
This vibe starts off immediately with the opening intro all the way through to the ending.
The level of tension and dark energy that LYNCH provides is incredible with his skilled technique and masterful execution of grime, poisonous and powerful weapons of beat that is undeniable to the audience.
With every track that goes by, it feels like the tracks only get more extreme, more hardcore, and more lethal in presence and execution. Definitely gotta give a shoutout to LYNCHVILLAIN as he definitely lives up to his name.
Now onto the new name and face but familiar voice in JohnnyBeBad. He’s back with his usual gritty and energetic style of flow and delivery. His witty yet intense approach to his wordplay and lyricism and his overall studio cadence makes him a recognised player in this game!
His approach is unavoidable and unapologetic. His manner is cocky yet that arrogance is from experience sharpening his craft and perfecting his technique to the point of near perfection. He doesn’t mess around; he’s in your face and he stays there for the whole 20 minutes like the drill instructor in ‘Full Metal Jacket’ and he ain’t giving anyone a second to breathe.
It’s his aggressive and definite attitude on the mic that makes him such a memorable figure right now!
Overall, another great showing by Here’s Johnny/ JohnnyBeBad and LYNCHVILLAIN put his best foot forward with this one!
