If you asked 100 people what makes a great artist, I’m sure you’ll get 100 different answers. In my opinion, what makes a great artist is:
-Quality
-Consistency
-Creativity
-Originality
And these four traits sum up one producer specifically: Superior. As his name suggests, he truly is in a league of his own, and his discography reads a who’s who of different names and styles, planting himself as one of the most diverse beat makers we have right now, and this track just further proves that point as he dives back into a culture that is booming right now, and he’s helping this particular artist break new ground! So let’s talk about it!
This is the brand-new single by MC Ill Venezia and producer powerhouse Superior. This track is three minutes and 13 seconds and is straight power!
If we start from the production, we have Superior showcasing a methodically charged track with an intro that consists of these slow and elegant guitar strings that come and go in this striking manner! Alongside some light piano keys, this introduction feels like one of those early 90s hard rock ballets that would slowly build up and climax at this mind-blowing rock opera similar to ‘Stairway to Heaven’, ‘November Rain’, or ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’.
As the song progresses, we have these cinematically formatted chords that loop in the most breathtaking way possible! As well as that remaining guitar in the background, as well as towards the middle of the track, we have what sounds like a smooth flute sample and light drums to give the track a little extra body to the song!
This is definitely a song made for someone extraordinary to go OFF on, and thankfully, he found just that person in Ill!
This woman is the definition of the word. Although I can’t understand her language (since it’s in Spanish with a emphasis on Argentinian slang), I can feel her passion and charisma, and she has both in spades! I love hearing someone who is the perfect embodiment of both skill, precision, and conviction, and I’d say she does the holy trio very well.
From the moment she opens her mouth, she has this rebellious spirit and attitude about her that kind of reminds me of an ‘Immortal Technique’ or ‘Rage Against the Machine’ type vibe.
She sounds aggressively determined to preach whatever it is she’s talking about, and it sounds raw, unfiltered, and no nonsense in execution!
She gives a solid three minutes of bars and makes it seem easy! She has that solid and fluent flow. Her wordplay sounds sharp and cold, and her delivery even more so!
She has a calculated and ruthless demeanour about her that makes me want to pay attention to her words and listen intently, even if I can’t understand what it’s about! She just has that effect on people!
Overall, this is a very powerful and thrilling combination of sounds coming together! From that masterful score to the masterclass of MC work. This is definitely a single you don’t want to miss!
