What do you know, after all the credit and hype I gave to the Penlordz X 6th Man collaboration in ‘ELEPHANT TUSK’, we are already back! This time with one of the more original and high-energy singles I’ve heard this year! Let’s talk about it!
So, this is the latest single between Penlordz (Audio Messiah and Fam Ross) with Shade Cobain back on the production, and I’m honestly surprised and impressed at how this one turned out!
I’ll try to describe the production as best I can! We have these subtle horn loops over what sounds like a field of maracas being shaken! But it also features various voice samples across the track that give off a loose jazz vibe in the way some of the old-school cuts (like Herbie Hancock) would feature the occasional abstract voice snippets across a song.
But also how the instrumental ends in an almost ‘rock and roll’ conclusion. There’s just so much going on in this beat that it’s remarkable. It’s lively, unique, creative, and refreshing all in one. I definitely never heard a beat like this all year, let alone from Pen Lordz! Fantastic.
Onto the MC duo themselves. On this cut, it seems they are delivering a more ‘freelance’ approach to their verses to properly complement this abstract production. As usual, I love their verses! They can’t miss. They bring their trademark elite lyricism, their untouchable witty and clever one-liners and puns. Their knowledge-filled bars combined with their effortless flow and advanced vocabulary and smooth cadence combined even more with their energy, enthusiasm, and passion for the game, and they have the full fucking package!
This is definitely one of the most original singles you’ll ever hear, trust. The production is off its rocks! The MC work is perfect as usual, and the chemistry between all three is as immaculate as you can get it! Check it out now!
