(WIGGIE WAVE)

This is a very special day of the year. As was ‘INFINITE WAVE’ and ‘LORD OF THE ZINGZ’. The day has come for the brand new Borirock album. This man has a style unlike any other, and each new release comes with a different theme, style, twist, and presentation, and this specific drop has me more excited than most! Let’s talk about it!

The third Borirock album of 2025, and this time he’s decided to collaborate with BeenOfficalLord. This album features production from the likes of: 

-TREMENDISS

-GRIMM DOZA

-BLUE MASK

-MICHAELANGELO

-MR ROSE

And features the roster of: 

-TOP HOOTER

-???

-al Divino

-Estee Nack

-Dun Dealy

And the reason why this specific drop has got me more excited than most is because I feel it’s a return to his more chaotic and colourful form of music! The era of ‘ZINGCLOPS’ or ‘ZING-DAYA’, and honestly, the more I dive into his discography, those types of records are becoming my favourites!

‘INFINITE WAVE’ and ‘LORD OF THE ZINGZ’ showcased his cinematic and surreal side, especially with legends like Bone Weso and Vinyl Villain behind the beats, making for a more theatrical score. But this time around, we get a more lively, groovy, and funky instrumentals that I feel synchronise with his personality a lot stronger! 

To me, this type of production is like Venom to Eddie. It attaches itself to Bori, and the two of them become one!

This production feels fun, atmospheric, and wild! For example, let’s look at the track ‘GUNBUTT’ that has that absolutely gorgeous jazz sample with those thick bass strings! The speed of the tempo and those freelance jazz notes that appear throughout the track have such an animated and bright notion to it that I can’t help but groove to it!

This reminds me of his track ‘FREAKY FROG’ in the way the beat bounces and has a rhythm of its own! Absolutely incredible.

We can even investigate the track ‘WIG KULTURE’ that has this James Bond villain vibe to it! It’s got these haunting wobbling chords alongside these skeletal drums that make this track feel like a walking, talking fever dream! This is the kind of track you listen to while smoking a fat one and vibing off! 

‘WIGGAVELI’ is another cut that stood out to me by Tremendiss! It’s got these incredibly unique vocal samples that loop across the track with these cinematic deep chords and what sounds like violin strings subtly in the background! 

This definitely feels like ‘ZINGCLOPS’ era production (which I love), it feels larger than life. The actual track feels alive, if Jay-Z can make songs cry then Bori can cast a spell and have them living amongst us!

The final track ‘WIG TRAUMA’ I found to be a surprisingly way to close the record off! Surprising in its heartfelt feel to the sounds. You’ve got these delicate piano keys alongside subtle bass strings and a soft rock style drum pattern all coming together under this somber cocoon that leaves the audience feeling like they’ve just watched the end credits to one of the wildest movies they’ve ever experienced! 

This is all to say that this album (while being a different projection from the other two) is one that reinforces Bori’s wavy nature and it brought me back to his earlier music days and I loved every second of it.

Now onto the rapping parts. This is a first for me because I’m talking about a collaboration album where Bori isn’t rapping alone! When someone has such a high charisma and endless energy as he does you don’t expect to hear him with anyone else (for a full album nonetheless) but this time he’s pairing with BeenOffical Lord who I first discovered on a Mondo Slade album a bit back and now he’s taking centre stage with Bori

I thought these two had great chemistry together! It’s interesting because I’m so use to hearing either ‘FEED THE FAMILY’ or the ‘Minimansion’ crew being the bar for chemistry for Borirock but with this guy he does just a good a job as any at maintaining the high energy levels, directing that unbelievable enthusiasm and passion on the mic and also providing a refreshing contrast so that it doesn’t sound like 2 of the same person on the tracks.

Of course we have Bori who is one of the most animated, lively and outgoing personalities in the rap scene period! Every word comes out colorful and bright while also featuring vivid imagery and street poetry that’s become trademark with his high pitched signature voice!

On the other hand we have BeenOffical who in comparison has a deeper octave, a more rough and no nonsense vibe to his bars and projects a in your face, step on your shoes/direct approach to his wordplay and that’s definitely a great choice for someone to pair with!

Considering the various styles both handle the verses immaculately never an awkward moment in transition and both seem to read each others mind as far as flow and rhythm is concerned which is dope!

The roster of features is obviously insane with the stand out track being ‘WIG KULTURE’ which features 6 people on the one track and all of them dominating the track in their own way!

One thing I found interesting is just like in the case of ‘INFINITE WAVE’ Dun Dealy is used as the feature for the closer track! Not sure if that was intentional or if there’s a pattern with it but either way I found that pretty insightful!

Overall this project is exactly the direction I would have wanted to see from Bori considering his last two albums. As magnificent as they were/are I feel he was due for a more stimulating and buoyant approach to his albums and this one scratches that itch for sure!

As with any of his albums make sure you don’t sleep on it!
