Man, it feels like years since I last covered this man, but fuck me, has he come back with a vengeance! I remember enjoying his last album,
but this one feels like a whole different monster! Let’s talk about it!
This is the latest album by MC MONEY MOGLY and Producer TEV95, and it features the likes of
-PRO THE ARTIST
-ORION
-DJ EXES
-SHOTTIE
-SALAZAR EL TABAQUERO
-ANDRE DeSAINT
-ASUN EASTWOOD
-NOEMOTION GOLDMASK
-JOEY DaSILVA
Now, let’s talk about that production because although there’s so much going on, it’s all grand, masterfully done, and so fucking hype! Listening to this album gave me as much energy as an energy drink! I felt sonic caffeine run through my veins, and it was a surreal experience!
You wouldn’t expect it from the opening notes of the first track that sounds like an orchestra is behind in the studio doing live music with MONEY, but as the song continues and it gets into that heavy-handed Hip Hop album with its various inspirations, you understand what kind of record you’re getting into!
For example, you have tracks like ‘TREO’ which is easily my favourite song ‘production-wise.’ Why? It’s because of that chorus or repeating loop of that (Spanish?) vocal harmony that has this fast-paced energy to it, kind of reminds me of an old Disney cartoon vibe with how chaotic and unpredictable but fast-paced it was! Every time that part came out, I’d smile because not only was it fun but unique in execution!
The song right after that, ‘MOPEDS,’ features a more methodical vibe with those classical notes and cold piano keys combined with that skeletal drum pattern!
This song sounds like a classic painting come to life! It’s very haunting yet beautifully crafted at the same time!
Across this album, you’re going to get some tracks that have a more ‘polished’ and ‘mainstream’ feel and others that maintain his trademark ‘gritty’ and ‘muddy’ boom-bap experience, but that’s the beauty of this record! There’s so much for everyone that I know everyone in one form or another will be satisfied!
MONEY himself is back harder than ever. Deciding to come with a powerhouse roster, he’s showcasing why he’s one of the best out right now! He has that monotone, cold, and ruthless rap style with his street poetry lyricism, vicious pen game, and incredible use of flow and wordplay!
Every track he spits on feels like an in-depth story or situation come to life that makes you feel like you’re wearing a VR watching his events happen right in front of your eyes! He has a strong cadence and the type of energy that when he speaks, everyone listens!
I love the chemistry he comes packed with across those legendary names! He proves he can dominate a track solo but also proves when accompanied by his contemporaries that he’s more than capable of standing his own and doing verses just as good if not better!
If you loved his other album he dropped earlier in the year, then you will LOVE this one. It’s him on his prime shit, only stronger! Stronger production and better MC work; he’s proving why he’s THAT GUY, and you can’t ignore it!
