Just when I go and praise Reek for expanding his horizons, we see he’s teasing a single with two of the grimmest names in the game. Classic Reek Osama move, and if you thought for one second that I ain’t craving his scummy overlord shit? Then you’re out of your fucking mind; he’s THAT GUY for real!
New single (off a different album to promote), and this one features the MC’s Reek Osama and my main man Hank Dope! Together, they are accompanied by SkumBag Diggs, and this trio is back to remind the underground what REAL ‘Muddy’ music sounds like, and it’s fucking glorious!
Starting with that production, we have one of the most eerie and gritty beats I’ve heard all year! I’m talking about that minimalist use of haunting keys, slow drum patterns, and bass strings so deep you’d have to go to the bottom of the ocean to find it!
These few elements alone helped create a beat so raw and no-nonsense that it’s built SOLELY for only the strongest MC’s who don’t need that fake flashy shit or a million and one layers to make listenable music! This one is for the real OG’s, and that’s exactly why we have these two on the case!
Plus, I love how the last few minutes are spent in just instrumental with no words, just letting the beat ride to really nail home that production! Incredible decision!
Now, onto the raps. You won’t be able to find a more solid duo than these two; both men are as grimy as each other and more present A+ street poetry with in-your-face wordplay, stomping flow, and lyricism so sharp that you could fuck around and cut your head off!
The chemistry these two present is something every MC should dream for! It’s in their brotherhood that they can be so strong as a unit! Both men understand exactly what the other needs in a verse and how much energy to produce before handing it off to the next!
Both men are notorious for their muddy representation of Boom Bap, and when they’re on a track together? Forget the rule books; all hell breaks loose, and they utilise that instrumental perfectly!
Trust me, this is a single (and soon an album) that you don’t want to play with! It’s dark, gritty, and phenomenal all in one! Check it out now!
