(CAMELCLUTCH)

We are finally back with an original track by the man himself! I ain’t saying I haven’t been enjoying the remix tracks (because I have), but at the same time, I was hoping this was all building up to a wave of new, fresh tracks to showcase how much of a beast this man can be and is, and I feel this track is where we see that shine! Let’s talk about it!

Brand new, 2 minutes and 28 seconds by MC Gustavo Louis! This time around, he has producer YFI on the cut, and they are here to deliver another wrestling-themed track, and we gotta start with that production!

On this joint, YFI has these hypnotic chords on a loop that’s combined with some subtle plucked keys and some very light vocal harmonies that appear deep in the background but still give the track some texture!

This beat is smooth and mesmerising to the point that if you’re not careful, this beat can take you away into a realm you can’t wake up from! (Like a camel clutch)

Now onto Gustavo! The man with the endless aura and charisma to give to the whole world (twice over) is back with another captivating long verse that showcases all his best qualities, from the sharp and precise lyricism to the fluent and savvy flow to the personalised and specific pen game that is, of course, focused on the wrestling side of things (based on the title of the track), and just like many times before, he nails the examples, puns, and references that are not just related to the topic at hand but also blend in his own skills and techniques, which is dope to hear!

The chemistry between the MC and producer is great; it’s like one mind on this track. Nothing worse than either a rapper who doesn’t suit the production or a shit producer, and the rapper has to work overtime to make it work; thankfully, neither is the case here, and it all comes together beautifully!

Make sure you give this one a listen! Gustavo is on a roll, and he’s proven he can make any kind of production work!
