Boy, do we have a special treat for you today? A trio of the highest quality who are going beyond viral and making waves in the music shit with their impactful performances and distinct records, and now they come together to bring you all one of the dopest albums of the year! Let’s get it!
So, this is a collaboration album between producer DeevoDaGenius and the MC duo of Kil The Artist & BLUEHILLBILL, and together they drop 12 tracks and over 40 minutes of content. With FEED THE FAMILY’s own Borirock as the solo feature to help make this record BANG.
So, starting with the production. As is common with most BLUEHILL releases I’ve heard, this album contains vibrant, atmospheric, and surreal usage of instruments, technique, and mastery of the beats.
Whether it’s grand and melodic guitar strings like on the track ‘THE MAN’ or absolutely infectious and looping piano chords on the track ‘20 PERCENT,’ or even if you’re talking the track ‘ANGELA SIMMONS,’ which incorporates that ambient/soul-inspired keys that vibe in and out with different octaves.
The reason for these examples is the fact that every track not only has a unique and distinctive personality to it but that each sound in the tracks is pure, polished, and clear. This is the kind of production where you can point out everything invoked with ease. It has a cinematic level of clarity, and it’s these organically crafted instrumentals that make any record that involves BLUEHILL stand out from the rest!
If I had to choose a favourite song, it would have to be ‘SWITCHING ZINGZ’ featuring Borirock. That beat is incredible! It has a groovy, Latina dance feel to it. With those quick and lively loops featuring that harmonic vocal snippet, it all just comes together for one of the smoothest tracks on the album!
As far as the rapping is concerned. To say these two have amazing chemistry would be the understatement of the year. Kil The Family and BLUEHULL understand the importance of the powerful production they have and don’t take it lightly. They both (in their own respective styles) take turns ripping apart the beats with their killer MC instincts, their smooth rhythm, and pen game that could rival anyone in the culture right now.
Both men hold down the tracks with their own distinctive voices and characteristics, where you can hear it’s them without even checking the song information. No clones with these two; originality is their trademark, and they flash that shit like a badge of honour!
I love how they tag in and out of the tracks. There’s no awkward pause or weird choppy transition between the two men, just pure, natural flow and handing the spotlight to the other, and I love the brotherhood between them both!
Of course, they’ve decided to test their skills with Bori, who is one of the best going right now easily, and they passed that test with flying colours!
This album only just came out, and I fucking loved it! It’s fresh, charismatic, and raw all in one. The production is the definition of lively, and the MC’s are hungry, passionate, and coming for the kill! Definitely an album you can’t afford to miss!
