The most anticipated release of the past few years has finally come! It’s been two years since he last released a studio album, and now after a barrage of singles, he’s finally back with an LP that is sure to change the game up once again!
So, this is the latest studio album by Umbrella’s Own/Dirthouse’s underground powerhouse, Snotty. A man who has taken the game in a chokehold since the early 2020s and now is the apex predator of the culture.
Beside him on this record is rising producer sensation, Goodphella, who has been tight as thieves with Snotty in releasing these singles and is responsible for the production of the whole album! Together, they dropped a fresh ten tracks with the likes of:
-Mvck Nyce
-Pro Dillinger
-Kamron Bahani
-Borirock
And this short list is absolutely PERFECT for what the affiliates should be. Four of the sharpest minds in the game right now who have been pushing more moves than 95% of the game combined. As they surround Snotty on this LP, we hear Snotty absolutely go off!
There aren’t any restrictions on Snotty on this one, just him and the microphone, and he’s spitting as hard as I’ve ever seen him.
He brings to the table his trademark lethally smooth flow and rhythm that makes him penetrate tracks more effectively than an assassin stealth killing a group without even making a sweat. This is what Snotty does on tracks! He comes in, murderous the track, then leaves.
As we found out on the various single tracks he dropped, he’s opening Pandora’s box by reflecting on his personal and introspective side. This definitely doesn’t take away from his impact or power on the tracks; if anything, it reinforces just how deadly he can be, considering he can walk into any lane and still come out on top!
I gotta admit, the track ‘After Hours’ was my favourite. When I heard Pro shout ‘STEINER BROTHERS BACK’, man, that got to me! No one is better as a duo than these two! They are the original partners in crime, and they’ll ride or die till the end!
Overall, Snotty has out-performed himself on this album. He’s dominating, filled with aura, and unmatched in street bars, witty one-liners, and wordplay so crisp that it sounds like he never even has to catch his breath. Pure artistry!
Goodphella. The man behind the masterclass of Snotty providing the beats.
What I love about his work across these tracks is his use of luscious and beautifully orchestrated loops and gorgeous samples where you can hear the individual strings and chords and harmonic notes that just ring through your heart and soul, spreading throughout your whole body!
A lot of these beats are simplistic in the context of just using a few instruments per song, but because of his immaculate techniques and the ability to amplify the music itself into its highest and purest form, he can take regular sounds and make them sound Dolby Atmos quality.
I also love how he utilises various samples and movie snippets to keep the LP sound engaging and prime time. My favourite being the classic Joe Pesci ‘Goodfellas’ bar scene ‘Thought I Told you to fuck ya mother?’ It’s one of my favourite movies, so to hear that always makes me happy!
But the fact that he can add in these scenes and still never cause the record to break or pause or have any awkward moments of obvious breaks or cuts in the music itself and keep it all seamless is absolutely incredible and further proof of his skill as a producer and why he’s someone who you shouldn’t underrate!
What can I say? I knew this album would be absolutely cinematic, and it was. It’s gritty, muddy, classy, and theatrical all in one. We get to hear Snotty in his prime alongside one of the best producers in the game right now with a handful of his best friends and associates. What else could you want from a Snotty album? Long story short, it’s perfect.
