With such a compelling name, I couldn’t help but be intrigued with what’s to come. Not only that, but a man I’ve never heard of coming in with what sounds like a conceptual masterpiece of an idea! With that in mind, let’s tune in and see if the glamour matches the quality!
This is the brand-new album by MC Dialect Sosa and features 12 tracks with 37 minutes of adventure for the listener to strap in for! Impressively, with no feature in sight, just him, his creativity, and his brain to conceptualise a whirlwind of a track that is sure to surprise and impress most!
The production list is as follows
-Talent Ted
-Shmog
-Love Drums N Soul
-Pablet
-Istoma Beats
-Rias Beats/Waytoolost
-WhoDunIt
-Rsonal The Beatchef Beats
-CULTXRE
-Griff
-Iam6teen
Firstly, I love one of the lines on the track where he goes ‘don’t you dare call this boom bap’ if anyone is that tone-deaf where they assume this music is ‘boom bap’ then that’s just retarded because if anything this artistry reminds me of a Kid Cudi/Lupe Fiasco type!
The type of MC who’s putting his creative aspirations first and the music itself second. With that formula, it can be risky as even those two artists listed above have made duds due to their over-experimentation, but you know what, I’d rather an artist go all out every time and face some L’s than someone play safe 100% of the time!
Across this album, we have an entertaining blend of alternative hip hop and intergalactic vibes! Imagine the debut Kudi album for comparison but obviously don’t in his own unique and original way!
You’ve got a lot of interesting music elements with inspirations from
– Rock
– Sci-Fi
– Synth
– Ambient
– Classical
And an overall cinematic aspect to the record that makes this feel more like a 2025 modern rendition episode of ‘The Twilight Zone’ than anything else.
It’s a thrilling, outer-world episode that leaves you on the edge of your seat for the duration of the album. It’s high energy from the first second, and although there are some opening or closing track skits to help push the narrative of the concept, the pace of the record stays rather consistent!
I notice that whenever people try to do these kinds of themed albums, they do their vocals more methodically and slowly to try to capture the mood and atmosphere of the world they are setting up, but in this case, he’s just going full speed ahead, rapping bar after bar in quick succession, which is honestly refreshing in that respect!
Along with the unusually satisfying MC work by the guy, we have the production briefly talked about that is compelling in its own way too. With those space-derived overtures and sci-fi-heavy influences, we have a realm that you wouldn’t want to put down until the end!
It’s thick, consuming, and absorbs you right into that world! Like the soundtrack to your favourite game, come to life in your ear, except you’re the player going through the motions!
This album brought back a dream I used to have a lot as a kid of me camped out in a spaceship, sitting on a sofa and watching the world and space from a clear window! This record is the audio representation of that, and it’s awesome.
All in all, this is definitely not boom bap and definitely unlike most underground music you’ve heard all year, but I guarantee it will be a good time!
See you later, space cowboy!
