(DRUG$$$)

Wow, we might have found our album of the month! A later contender as well! I can honestly say I didn’t know what to expect, but with the names I saw associated with this project, it was only natural to be optimistic. But what I was delivered is on a whole different level entirely! Let’s talk about it.

This is the BRAND NEW album by MC Teller Bank$ and producers 

-q no rap name

-Philth Spector

-Killer Kane

Now. That is the big reveal here: these three powerhouse beat makers on the same album? That’s insane! All three are some of my most critical producers in the underground, and to find them all in one place makes me happier than I ever could admit to be!

They help create and navigate these 16 tracks, and when this trio comes together, it makes absolutely pure MAGIC!

Across these 32 minutes of music, we hear what could be considered some of the most lively, eccentric, and free-form beats I’ve heard in a minute! You can tell these three were given full creative freedom to do whatever they want, and it shows.

The music is jazzy, soulful, funky, and fresh. It’s composed of all the best parts of the influences and done with originality and complexity that I’d expect of men of this calibre! 

This whole project feels like a fever dream, each song representing its own unique atmosphere and engaging themes and scores that represent a different story and perspective using the art of beat making! 

Having any one of these three would be a gift come true for any MC, but to have three is honestly overkill (in the best possible way), and more importantly, they all have such fantastic synchronicity with one another that it’s impossible to tell who is on what track or part because they work so seamlessly together!

Based on the production alone, this album deserves top of the month, but there’s one more aspect left to discuss, one that was equally important and impressive, and that is, of course…

TELLER BANK$ holy shit did he give the performance of a lifetime on this album. To say I was blown away would be a severe understatement because from the first track to the last he kept me on the edge of my seat.

What we are getting here is a masterclass of a MC going full immersive mode. Stepping into a character unlike any before and pulling off the performance of 2025. This is Kendrick Lamar on ‘To Pimp A Butterfly’ shit!

From the vocal fluctuations to the various flow changes and pitches! From the way he tells his stories in such graphic detail that you feel like you’re standing next to the man as he’s talking!

His originality on these songs came out in spades! Every track felt like a new angle, perspective and showcase for Teller! It felt like he was trying to push the boundaries for how far he can push his creativity across the album and how much he can add per song and it’s a wonder to hear!

Honestly, this next level performance combined with the trio on the beat? I know the word ‘masterpiece’ gets used far too casually these days (I’m guilty of it as well) but this feels like a masterpiece!

From the sonic structure of the three generational talents to the Oscar worthy deep dive into a man’s MC drive and originality! Everything comes together more smoothly and sharply than I could have ever thought possible!

Honestly, this is the definition of phenomenal. If you ain’t getting on top of this one it truly would be YOUR LOSS!!
