NOW THIS IS MORE FUCKING LIKE IT! This is my kind of shit! Shade, my man, he doesn’t know how to take L’s if they tried! Neither does his MC accomplice on this track, and when they combine? Nah, it’s a wrap! This is the kind of single I wanted from September!
This is the BRAND NEW single by MC Xcel and Producer Shade Cobain. More 6th man excellence on display, and this track is beyond ridiculous! Let’s talk about why!
As the name suggests, this track has a haunting quality to it. You’ve got those deep, darkly choir vocals that are echoed for further dramatic effect, that give a cult vibe, then we have those methodical drums and those chilling piano keys that give the body goosebumps!
This is definitely a track I couldn’t play at night. I ain’t good with horror shit on the best of days, let alone at night, and this track is guaranteed to make you feel a certain type of way!
It’s eerie, infectious, and masterfully crafted with movie samples spread throughout for a further effect!
Ontop of this track, you couldn’t ask for a better MC than Xcel! This man has been on a run of his own this year, and this teaser track has further cemented his status as a powerhouse MC!
His chilling and cold-blooded performances make for the perfect chemistry over this beat! He sounds as ruthless as ever. He’s calculating, relentless, unforgiving, and downright murderous on this beat with
impeccable flow, sharp wordplay, and a pen game that he makes look so effortless that it’s frightening!
He delivers two of his best verses to date across this single and got me hyped for the future record!
Unless this is going to be like a Michael Jackson Thriller type situation where one track off the whole record is horror-themed and the rest is normal (which is fine either way), but regardless, this has got me hyped for the upcoming Xcel and made me feel a certain type of way I didn’t know I could!
So, lock your doors and bring your popcorn because you’ll be in for a SCARE!
