I think it’s safe to say that this producer (whether that be as a beatmaker or MC) has had quite possibly one of the strongest discographies in 2025 with projects such as
– Things I Seen (with Termanology)
– Slaveboats With Seatbelts (with 4ize)
– Funeral For a Dream (with Apollo Brown)
And now we have this. With every new release, the world waits in anticipation to see just how far this man can rise before the year is over, and as things stand, he hasn’t fallen yet! Let’s talk about it!
Brand new album produced by the one and only Bronze Nazareth and MC’d by Salute Da Kidd and features the likes of
– Kurt Solid
– Termanology
– Don Miller
– Kevlaar 7
– Hollywood Dots The Oncelor
– Wuzee
– 38 Spesh
– June Megalodon
– Recognize Ali
– Hnic Pesh
And with this incredible roster backing the two up, this thing goes from ‘album’ to ‘score’ with some of the most cinematic performances I’ve heard in a while!
Across this album, I feel Bronze showcases his most versatile and unique production to date. We hear him utilise influences and elements that most wouldn’t touch! For example, we have the vocal sample off the track ‘Eastside Hustle’ with that 60’s, early 70’s sounding rock/soul sounding voice which gives the track that extra layer of flavour!
Hell, if we peddle back to the intro track ‘Thaw Intro’, we have this jazz-filled thriller-inspired interlude with this mesmerising voice that tells us all a story that ends with ‘I bet you’re wondering how I got here’
I mean even the fucking intros have to be cinematic quality when you’re dealing with Bronze! I got that same vibe when he released the project ‘Slaveboats With Seatbelts’ and now he’s back again to leave us all in awe over his film-like techniques and executions!
I love how he incorporated tracks like ‘The Way We Were’ and how it delivers another interlude with refreshing jazz sounds and a message delivered in self-reflection and honest memories spoken out loud! I absolutely loved this track and the way it was presented!
I love this album seems to balance the atmospheric and down-to-earth aspects in perfect harmony. This album plays as a heartwarming experience for the soul with light instrumentation, soulful/jazz beats with an inviting and friendly aura surrounding the record.
But at the same time, the music itself is masterfully composed, structured, and composed like one of the most powerful pieces of cinema you’ll ever see and played out as one. It’s beautifully crafted and the songs come together to flow strong as a project and also rock as individual songs!
As I said, the perfect balance. With every new release, this man continues to surprise me and this one was even stronger than the rest!
Now, onto the MC work. I personally haven’t heard of Salute until now, but considering who he’s working alongside, that’s proof enough of his worth and skill, and I was right on both accounts; this man is dope as fuck!
Right off the bat, the first quality I noticed in him was his CONVICTION! That’s not a common thing among any artist. Just because you perform doesn’t mean you have the conviction. The people that do have a certain aura and cadence about them just scream ‘passion’ and love for the game in a way not many do.
This man has such an incredible pen game as we hear him combining different aspects of lyricism from deep and personal verses to social commentary to street poetry; he does and says it all in the booth!
His flow is precise and fluent and has a razor sharp edge to it that feels both organic and deadly at the same time!
You can tell he’s a true MC, one who has spent years building and sharpening his craft until he was ready to be the main character in an arc created by Bronze and showcase his abilities on the mic and I can tell you now thanks to this album he’s gonna be on my watch list permanently!
I also love the chemistry he has with the said features above! To be able to have chemistry and lay down a verse solid enough to hang with those guys you have to be a solid rapper and that’s exactly what he was on this album, matched their energy and charisma to a tee and made those tracks some of the more memorable on the album!
This is another home run by Bronze and a fantastic showing by Salute and company! This will definitely be added to my replay list for the foreseeable future as I’m sure will be with yours!
