Man, this is pretty fucking cool! Going from all the Hank releases featuring Outti to the other way around! I’m excited to hear what an album focused on his own drive and focus would sound like, and I wasn’t disappointed!
So, this is the latest album by MC Outti. It’s seven tracks and 12 minutes, featuring, of course, the main man Hank Dope on the guest bars and
-DJ Jersey
-FNO POP
on the production!
As I should have seen coming, this album is the brilliant combination of theatrical and gritty. (As is usually the case with Hank.)
So for those who aren’t aware, I’m talking grand vocal harmony loops, classical instrumentation paired with muddy boom-bap feels! Similar to early days Griselda (or more specifically old school WSG), how he used to use the most beautiful instrumentation only to manipulate the beat with some of the most devastating and gritty beat patterns you’ve ever heard.
This album does the same thing; you’ll have the luxury of listening to gorgeous samples and instruments while cracking your neck over huge, rough, and rugged patterns and production!
If I had to list a favourite sounding track, it would have to be ‘Game Of Thrones.’ It has this infectious trap wave skeletal energy with those almost ‘chant’ like back-up vocals going over the track, and of course, Hank’s verse to help bring the track full circle!
As far as the MC’s goes. Obviously it’s between the main dynamic duo Outti and Hank. They have established themselves as a pair worth paying attention to with their frequent collaborations and grimy style mixed with street poetry and lethal wordplay!
Both men showcase sharp penmanship, smack-your-face flow with enthusiasm and passion to match! They’re always striving to be the hardest ones around when dropping, and considering they only drop records that are less than 20 minutes on the norm, they have less room for error and more of a reason to show just how powerful they can be when in the studio, and they haven’t failed yet!
Frequent as they come, with the skills to match! Outti proved when it comes to his solo shit that he can match with the best of them! With his brother by his side, they aren’t far away from taking over the game!
