Although I’m two chapters behind on these projects, I had to get to this album as it includes an MC’s who I hadn’t known until he teamed up with Bronze and created one of the most memorable records so far (for me anyway), and since I’ve been on the lookout for what his next move will be, and now we hear it! So let’s talk about it!
This is the brand new project and second sequel to the ‘Animated Cataclysm’ series by MC 4-IZE and Producer K-Rec to stun with eight more tracks and 20 minutes of hip hop you can only get with these two men behind the wheel! With the likes of
-S.P
-Primo Jab
-Flash E Williams
-Ekundayo
-John Robinson
-J.Reu
And with these lists of names behind these two, create a stunning variety of sounds that no one could possibly bring to the table!
Starting with the production. On this particular occasion, K-Rec is bringing an array of different influences and elements that sound like you’re listening to your Spotify playlist on shuffle! You’ve got everything from
-Spanish Guitar
-RnB Vocal choruses
-Funky progressive chord progressions
-Jazz Horns
-Infectious Bass Lines
-Intricate Spacey Keys
Within the 20 minutes, you’ll feel like you’ve been on an acid trip with the most colourful and vivid scores you’ve heard this year! Featuring songs with different tempos, sounds, flavours and themes, but somehow all comes together beautifully, nothing awkward or out of place!
Man, it’s almost impossible to say for certain a favourite track out of all these bangers, but if I had a gun to my head, I’d have to say either ‘Cypher Psychology’ or the final track ‘The Most Important Message’.
The first because of the names involved. This is the THEE exact project that names like Primo Jab and Megaton S.P. should be on! They have so much charisma and personality that it’s perfectly utilised under these creative circumstances!
The finale track for just how fucking smooth it is! It’s got this melodic, ambient quality to it that I became obsessed with and made for the utmost perfect way to close the record off!
When it comes to the overall vibe of the record, this is one that’s for the real ‘artists’ and a celebration of originality and fun concepts!
As far as the main MC on this project, as expected, he shines as brightly as he did on his bronze record! Although admittedly, what made that album so memorable was his overly conspiracy-heavy lyricism, and despite this album not having that, he still showcases his overwhelming talent as a rapper!
He’s got a natural swagger and aura to him. He sounds like a real character from a comic book come to life! With such a swift, fluent flow, sharp pen game, and such a range of vocabulary that makes every verse an exciting explosion of poetry and conceptuality!
I found myself entranced by his bars and placement on the track! He has such an original and unique way of portraying his vivid imagery that it’s wizard-like! It’s like he’s manipulating the beat and making it work for him! And considering the lush instrumentals, this makes for a most killer experience!
As well as his chemistry with the other MC’s involved and the killer production, this is one of those albums you can just play to get some energy and have a good time! Trust me, you won’t regret it!
