Right off the bat, can we all agree this is the best artwork and album title of the year? Before I even heard the music, I knew I would love it based on these two factors alone! Let’s talk about it!
This is the highly anticipated latest album by FEED THE FAMILY’s own Borirock, who earlier this year released what many are calling ‘Album Of The Year’ with ‘Infinite Wave’, produced by BoneWeso, and now he’s back to capture lightning in a bottle with his brand new album featuring Vinyl Villain on the beats and with ten tracks and the likes of:
-Mondo Slade
-KILL THE ARTIST
-BLUEHILLBILL
This record was destined for greatness and it achieved that in spades!
From the opening track (which I think has sounds of Golem) in the intro, you can feel the ginormous nature and grand atmosphere that this record is trying to establish.
In contrast to ‘Infinite Wave’, which was more smooth and soulful with its instrumentation, in this one it feels more muddy and powerful. Almost like they were literally trying to capture the essence and tension of the ‘Lord Of The Rings’ universe and incorporate it throughout a hip hop record.
Everything from the eerie/theatrical piano keys to the sharp strings and massive horns! Every element of this album feels giant. I think Vinyl Villain has done an excellent job in recreating the pressure and force of the trilogy as best as he can into the album.
You can feel the immense power and almost out-worldly energy that this record unleashes, almost as if the songs have a life and soul of their own that are constantly being amplified and pushed throughout the LP! Unreal mastery by Vinyl!
Borirock, of course, sounds amazing on this album; he’s released constantly banger after banger for the last few years now. He’s not one to release a mediocre performance, and he didn’t start now!
Across this record, he unleashes his natural charisma in spades! His reserves of unlimited energy and his unrivalled ability and enthusiasm go harder than ever across this album! His trademark high-pitched tones are in full effect as he spits his notorious street raps filled with witty one-liners, fun puns, and ghetto shit that makes him such an endearing figure in the culture today!
His ability to manipulate the beats to his own will and craft these unique and original verses that sound like no one else in the game right now! He’s the father of his own style!
Of course, when it comes to the regular names he’s worked with in the past, he’s got perfect chemistry and bonds with the names mentioned. They craft dope verses between each other that pair fantastically with that cinematic masterpiece of production!
Overall, this was well worth the wait and the appropriate sequel of a release from ‘Infinite Wave’. It’s larger than life, grand, and all around a banger of a record!
