(So Help Me Gawd)

I can guarantee you this, when it comes to ‘perfect’ collaboration efforts, you won’t find a combination as better as these two! Arguably the two best in their respective roles that have been making waves for the past five years and more, and now they’ve decided to squash the competition by joining forces and showcasing one of the best albums of the year!

This is the latest album between notorious MC Ferris Blusa and powerhouse producer Wino Willy, and together they release nine tracks featuring 

-Aubren Jay

-Swab on the cuts

As things stand right now, Wino has been on a roll I barely see anyone else replicating. The real sign of success is not with loud words or an obnoxious level of forced promotion but more when you see an artist/producer quietly appear on everyone’s favourites and taking over the culture one project at a time.

In the span of a month, I’ve seen him on

Backwoodz Studios 

Reek Osama 

Ferris Blusa

Al Divino

Four pillars of the underground, and he’s associated with all of them. THIS is how you showcase your status, and he’s the one in demand right now!

Across these nine tracks, he’s dived deep into his more grimy, muddy, and gritty sound palette to help create a record that would complement Ferris and his intense delivery the best, and he hits it out of the park!

I’m talking some of the most heinous, destructive, and dangerous boom Bap variants you’ve ever heard. Those droning distorted jazz notes, those skeletal drum patterns, and harrowing keys— this thing isn’t for the weak! He ain’t making this for the radio or for the mainstream ears, nah.

He’s got his ear into the streets and locked into creating the audio representation of a void, a black hole of hip hop, and it’s a magical experience to feel!

 Wino has always been a problem like that. He ain’t a one-trick pony; if they want dark, he goes darker! But in the same breath, if an angel itself wanted to hear heaven on a track, they’d ask Wino! His adaptive abilities are beyond impressive, and across this album, he’s showing the culture what happens when he unleashes his dark side!

Talking about the dark side, we have Ferris. The man who has consistently been making grim and heavy music for the game for years. His trademark deep vocal tones, monotone delivery, and cold expressions have made him an unprecedented threat in the industry, and this album is no exception!

Across this filthy production, he’s going off in prime form! His notorious one-liners, his pacing, and lyrical set-ups are always dope! He brings anticipation to the audience, as the energy can be felt when he’s trying to set up a bar, and it’s amazing to witness!

He’s always the type to murder tracks methodically. He’s perfected his technique, and he ain’t in no rush for anybody! He’s the MC that people wait for to get an opportunity to be in his presence! Every bar, word, and breath is delivered exactly how he wants it, with his surreal aura and mythical atmosphere that seems to follow him over each and every album he drops!

Once again, these two can’t miss (and that’s on their own); imagine what happens when worlds combine? Well, find out now!
