Man, what an extraordinary and exciting project to be able to experience! As if this man hasn’t done enough this year, he’s back and in a big way! This time around, producing for what could be the biggest and best compilation album of the year! So let’s talk about it!
This is a Copenhagen Crates release, entirely produced by Machacha. In this huge compilation project, the roster is as follows:
– Supreme Cerebral
– World Be Free
– Mickey Diamond
– Vega7 The Ronin
– Bloo Azul
– Ferris Blusa
– Al-Doe
– Jamil Honesty
– Andre DeSaint
– Substance810
– DJ GrazzHoppa
– Tree Mason
– Apollo
– Josiah The Gift
– Figerson
– Waterr
– Sean Links
– Maze Overlay
– Willie The Kid
Now, if that roster doesn’t give you goosebumps, then get the fuck outta here. This album ain’t for you! This is for the real ones, the hip-hop heads who appreciate bars over bullshit and want substance over fake, mainstream garbage, and this is where this album is a celebration of authenticity, originality, and integrity!
When you have Machacha on the beat, you literally can’t lose. For this album and the 14 tracks included, we have Mach using his mastery and technical prowess to mould and craft the perfect beat depending on who’s the one on it! Some are faster, some slower, and some more bare or intricate than others!
Regardless of the song’s tempo, you have the same trademark elements that include:
– Grand instrumentation
– Theatrical atmosphere
And with these two elements he’s able to create the blueprint for some of the most ground breaking and explosive boom bap offerings we’ve had in the past few years especially if we are talking 2025 and his ridiculous quantity! But especially on a record like this where he’s catering to so many different names and making sure each name gets whatever style and aesthetic they want it would be the kind of job that could overwhelm most but it’s nothing to a legend like Machacha!
As far as the roster goes, I mean you did read the list right? It’s a conglomerate of monsters. These men are the best of the best in the industry and to have them all on the same record is a dream come true for all the real ones!
We start the record off with Supreme Cerebral/World Be Free and closes with Maze Overlay and Willie The Kid which is an insane sentence to type because even if it was just those names alone it would make for a ground breaking album let alone 15 fucking more!
These men have perfectly crafted their own studio characteristics, styles and rhythms on the tracks that make each song so distinctive because they all ride in their own lanes and refuse to copy or sound like anyone else but themselves!
From the sharpest wordsmiths to the grandest aura’s you’ll ever hear in the game you’ve got all of them here. The return of Mickey Diamond on a track all by himself was dope! To hear Vega7 alongside Substance810 was a ridiculous combo I wasn’t expecting to see!
Not to mention Bloo Azul and Ferris Blusa together was also phenomenal! So many goated moments on this compilation album that proves this is the ultimate experience of its kind!
This is one compilation album you don’t ever want to sleep on! From that perfect production to those flawless and stand up performances you can’t go wrong! Definitely check this one out!!
