Man, it’s been WAY too long since I last reviewed the producer of this record. I was honoured enough to cover some of his stuff years before my website and even had an interview with him via Zoom, and now he’s back collaborating with one of my favourite MC’s of the underground! So let’s talk about it!
This is the latest collaboration between rapper G Fam Black and producer Bofaatbeatz, and together they drop a fresh 10 tracks featuring
-Kingdom Kome
-Lu Chin Chen
-Pryme Prolifik
– Aztec The Barfly
-OGBenGrimm
-Azariah
-P-Ro
-Barbaric
-Oblivious
-Sankofa
And if this tape has taught me anything, it’s that no one inherits the spirit and power of the old school like Bo Faat!
When this man is on the production, he’s able to encapsulate and bring to life the classic, vintage, crisp, and hard-hitting precision and quality of the early to mid-1990s with acts such as
-Naughty By Nature
-LL Cool J
-Ice Cube
-Gang Starr vibes that emphasise down-to-earth, gritty atmosphere while also providing larger-than-life instrumentation and grandiose sounds and aesthetics that make this not only a homage to the past era but also an originally crafted and designed piece of Hip Hop that showcases Bo’s incredible diversity, creativity, and masterful technique behind the beats!
When working with the monstrous MC like G Fam, there are certain sounds and beats that suit him best and highlight his unique and rare skills on the mic, and I feel Bo has constructed the perfect playlist for him to go off on; each instrumental pairs immaculately with G’s vicious and extreme performances, which makes this project even more impressive!
Speaking of the man himself. As I’ve said across multiple reviews, I’m always left shocked and surprised by G Fam’s aggressive approach to his delivery and flow on the mic. He’s the definition of ‘Extreme’; he makes 99% of the so-called ‘hardcore’ rappers sound childish in comparison.
When he spits bars on the track, it feels less like verses and more like vocal earthquakes jumping from beat to beat, destroying everything in its path! Pair that with lethal penmanship and powerful technique, and you have yourself a man who features all the skills to be THE force to be reckoned with in the industry!
Speaking of the current ‘industry’, the finale track (similar to the latest P-Ro X Mathias’ album) ends on a huge cypher-form track with all of the underground’s biggest names coming together as a collective to provide a final blow to close the album off.
Each artist delivers dope verses and impressive techniques and skills that showcase why they are some of the most talked-about talent out right now! G Fam and Bo definitely chose correctly for who should feature on this devastatingly dope cypher!
As expected. This collaboration project was beyond successful. The production was flawless, and as usual, G Fam provides his terrifying excellence on the vocal performances, adding to his ever-so-deadly discography!
