(Hypersonic)

Can you believe that this man (alongside G-Fam Black) is focused on releasing a new record every month of 2025? That’s absolutely nuts! And of course, we have to talk about it!

This is the brand-new collaboration record by MC P-Ro and this time around, Producer Iandonik, and let me tell you what, I’ve yet to see P miss yet! I’d have to say my favourite album of his so far would be ‘Used Crayons’ with Flu! But regardless, each new drop has been a banger, and this one is no exception!

13 tracks, 40 minutes of content, and the likes of 

-Tali Rodriguez

-G-Fam Black

-Jodi

-James Mitchell

-Aztech

-Lu Chin Chen

And right off the bat (at least to me), I can hear how much of an ambient/minimal tune they’ve taken in the production value compared to other ones! I hear a lot more stripped-back and bare instrumentals that help put emphasis on P and the other guests’ vocal performances as the main focus!

I’m talking features such as 

-Vocal Snippet loops

-A small handful of instruments used per track

-Subtle/Skeletal Drum Patterns

I’d say these are consistent in most tracks on this album with various influences from jazz to rock to everything in between! I have to say I am a big fan of this new approach and the take they took for this record. I love how they are utilising the ‘Less is More’ focus because it really forces the MC’s involved to step their games up!

I love the raw aesthetics of the instrumentation used on this album! It doesn’t feel polished or overdone, but instead, it feels atmospheric, sharp, and demanding. Although less refined compared to other projects in the past, this type of score is the perfect addition for a record like this! 

The harsh nature of the production helps inflame the grit and passion of the rappers involved! The rough exterior fluctuates the resolve and determination and skillet of the performances to that next level!

Anyone can hide behind over-done bears. But when it’s hacks against the wall and as down-to-earth as can be, how will you fare? P gives us his answer!

How does he fare? Absolutely fine! P-Ro has done nothing but put words to paper and deliver each and every month some of the most captivating verses we’ve heard in 2025, and this is no different! The man goes off!

I love how he utilises these beats and feels like he’s upgraded all his qualities from his fantastic flow, his powerful bars, and intelligent pen game! How he leans in and activates every single word he spits across this album (or any album) to produce maximum performance!

To me, P-Ro has always had a level of ‘preacher’

in him on the mic. I can’t really explain why, but whenever he’s rapping, I just become reminded of a figure like MLK, Malcolm X, or Nelson Mandela! Someone with incredible presence and the ability to reach a large audience with their words! 

As my father is literally a bishop, I grew up with that personality, so I know what that skill set sounds like, and he definitely has the IT, and as far as his chemistry with the other names are concerned, I’ve yet to hear someone he can’t mesh with! Always excellent synchronicity with anyone he brings on the beat with him!

All and all, another dope album! I’ll most likely have to rank each of his and G-Fam’s albums and see which I prefer most, but still, a new monthly edition you don’t want to sleep on!
