The 6th Man Army are back! They have been taking over the industry this year, and it looks like they have no signs of stopping as we have another edition to the dominant 2025 discography list! Let’s go!
This is the latest album by Producer Van Gunz! It features the likes of
– Shade Cobain
– Crotona P
– Juxx Diamondz
– Honey Dinero
– Tone Spliff
– Poe Mack
– The Bad Seed
– Xcel
– Jamaal Matters
– Seven Da Pantha
– ILLPO
With that star-studded roster, you know there’s no way this can miss, and it doesn’t! Neither does Van, as the responsible beatmaker, he unleashes his most impressive and sharp instrumentals the world has heard yet!
I’m talking hard-hitting, bone shattering old school influenced east coast flare combined with soulful, smooth and delicate vocal snippets and funky grooves that come together to create the perfect balance of ‘Raw, Fresh, Heavy and Intricate’
Every one of the 11 tracks flows into the other amazingly! Even though each track has its own sonic identity and characteristics, they all fit in a tight balance within the record that helps each song feel refined and comfortably entwined to create one of the strongest records I’ve heard in a while!
I love how this album sounds like a homage to the old-school era. Taking inspiration and influence from the ones that have come before! It takes skill to create a record that pays respect to the classics while being able to do so in a modern/present way that shows originality and creativity! That’s exactly what we have here!
Now, onto the powerhouse roster. What makes this record extra impressive and memorable is the fact that each and every single man and woman brings their own individual A+ game to the record and uses the opportunity to record some of their best verses you’ll hear from all of them!
You’ve got the trademark 6th Man roster on the case, all absolutely killing it! I was especially impressed with Crotona P and Honey Dinero! They seemed to deliver their magnum opus verses I’ve heard personally!
Seed, as usual, presented his savage, no-nonsense honest bars that you’d expect from the veteran! ILLPO was a nice surprise for the finale track, who came in with their notoriously ridiculous bars and verses!
It’s common to hear Poe Mack on a project with Van, and they obviously mashed up perfectly! Juxx Diamondz on track three destroyed the song as well!
Again, you won’t find a bad verse from any of these artists, so all you can do is find which tracks with which feature you love most! Because each of them is absolutely immaculate and shows the purest form of MC work!
Easily my favourite Van Gunz release so far this year! Ridiculous performance with production and MC’s! This is a 6th Man album you don’t want to miss!
