(LIVE FROM THE MELTING POT)

I can’t even remember the last time I covered this producer! I remember a few months ago he was the talk of the underground. A man who seems to be on everyone’s tongue (pause) and was requested by every MC I could see! A man who I became obsessed with after hearing his albums and now he’s back to remind everyone why he really is HIM! Let’s talk about it!

Brand new album by Producer Wulverine and MC Heartbreak Julio and together they dropped eight tracks with the help of 

-THE REBEL SKY

-Action Figure 973

-Virgilio

-twogeebs 

Three of these four names I’m very familiar with and all of these fatal four way help make this listen a five-star match!

Of course, we gotta start with the production! Because it’s done by my main man, the underground’s Logan. He’s back and he didn’t have to come from Earth 10005 to be revived into the scene to cause his trademark havoc!

Across this album, he’s as cranky as ever. He’s slashing and cutting all these samples. You can hear the sonic blood drip across the instrumentation from those blood-soaked drums on loop, those sharp synth chords and gutted bass lines that are hanging on for dear life from dropping to the floor completely. 

This is a 26-minute massacre that only he can accomplish. The beats are so muddy you would have thought Summers was on the other end taunting the man into violence. On this album, he’s definitely void of all ‘expectations’, ‘opinions’ and ‘criticisms’ of the world. He left that all behind, like the ice age did the saber-toothed.

His only focus on this record is destruction and devastation and he accomplishes both in gruesome fashion. If there’s one takeaway from this album it’s this.

YOU NEVER FUCK WITH THE WULVERINE

Now, onto his accomplice. Heartbreak Julio. A far cry from a ‘mercy with a mouth’ but his technique is equally as deadly. He has the speed of Pietro, the force of Eisenhardt and the brains of Xaviour strong enough to make you question life itself.

On this album, he comes swift and correct, more focused on delivering savage bars of power that would put McCoy to shame. 

I love the charisma he showcases; it’s the type of energy when you know you’re delivering life-changing verses and feel better than you ever have on the mic, and when those two parts are accomplished, you get these level bars! 

From the opening track, I was drawn in. I’ve heard him rap before but not like this; he was equal parts savage and elegant, raw and vivid, cut-throat and surreal! He was showing us that he can do any style and rhythm he wanted and still make his words weight in gold, and it’s beautiful to hear!

Across this album, he’s accompanied by his own team of X-Men that have had his back since day one and further push him to be even better by delivering what could be their best verses to date on this album!

With incredible chemistry and equal energy, the guest verses help make the tracks they feature on go from ‘great’ to ‘incredible’. 

What else can I say about this album? It’s so fucking good it’s MUTANT in its ability to drop flames. From the production to the performances, it comes together as the new representation of the Sinister Six!
