(OVERDRIVE)

What a fucking appropriate single name. With the producer on deck and the powerhouse names featuring on it, this track could easily be the single of the year! Let’s get into it! 

So, we have notorious beatmaker DJ BLKUOS who absolutely shook the game up a few weeks ago with his incredible record ‘No Rest For The Wicked’, and now he’s back to this time to take over the single department with this almost 5-minute magnum opus that showcases four of the most supreme lyricists we have in the game right now! That being: 

-SOUTHSIDE ICE 

-MILO MAESTRO

-JP CARUZZO 

-CONWAY THE MACHINE

If you don’t recognise those names, then the game doesn’t recognise you as a fan for real because on any given list, these four could be considered among the top tier of rappers we have, and to have them on the same song is absolutely incredible and is guaranteed to be a banger!

Let’s talk about the production. Once again, DJ BLKUOS brings his flair for the cinematic into this track. This song is lined with choir-style female vocal harmonies that angelically loop over the song continuously, providing a powerful and ominous feel.

Combined with that, we have this old-school, mid-2000s East Coast feel track with that heavy bass and drum pattern that just makes you wanna go off! This is the kind of beat that’s perfect for cypher, freestyle, massive collaboration tracks, and the fact he uses this style makes me respect him even more! 

On top of ALL THAT. He decided to add this real groovy and smooth chorus featuring this luscious singing subtlety by none other than DJ BLKUOS himself alongside the MC Milo singing in a duet style. It’s rather fitting for the track at hand and gives the song that small ‘breather’ period between verses! Very smart!

Now, onto the four pillars. The ones that have been putting in work for years building, constructing, and maintaining the game in ways very few others have. Of course, you’d have to be under a rock not to know of Conway, Griselda, and their astounding rise to the top of the industry underground and mainstream! But what makes him so special is that regardless of his level of fame and success, he always keeps his bars consistent, grimy, and cutthroat! This is no exception here! He ended the record with a fucking bang!

As for the other three, they bring equal levels of intensity, raw energy, and muddy atmosphere that complements well with this aura-filled instrumental! I loved the amount of chemistry and synchronicity each man has with each other. This is the level of depth and brotherhood I love to see in the underground that we just never see in the mainstream!

I love when we see so many legendary and talented artists come together under one cause, one banner, and one song and just showcase the very best the scene has to offer in its best qualities! 

This is definitely a song you can’t afford to miss. It’s got the star power, it’s got the immaculate production that would be fit for a king! Let’s all come together and support the undisputed talent of the underground!
