There are few things in life that can compare to a G Fam Black experience. The type of music he brings to the forefront is above anything else going. Plus, his ridiculous consistency keeping up with his brother P-Ro, he hasn’t dropped a L yet, and this one (somehow) might be his strongest effort yet.
This is the brand-new album by MC G Fam Black and Producer Mathias of CLOAQ X DAGGER, and together they drop a fresh 11 tracks with the likes of
– Hanzo Bladez
– Crotona P
– P-Ro
– Tali Rodriguez
And I can’t lie, man. That is a strong and lethal MC roster to bring with you! Pleasantly surprised to see my main man Crotona on the case, but don’t get it twisted; each man obliterated their respective verses!
Across these 11 tracks, we hear Mathias on probably his most sinister and devastating work to date! From the opening to the closer, he brings with him a dark energy that’s fuelled by hatred, anger, grime, and disgust towards the fake cats repping the culture that he’s forced to make instrumentals so brutal and heavy that it acts as fake bitch repellent!
Most of these beats are slow and methodically paced. Charged with a sense of gritty fantasia and consumed with a twisted perfectionism that you’d find from an OCD serial killer. Everything has to be in its rightful place, every chord, key, and string executed maliciously and yet meticulously.
If I had to choose a favourite beat and play devils advocate here, I’d have to say ‘Band Of Brothers’ not only because that’s the track that features Crotona but that instrumental is so mesmerising in an old-school 90’s East Coast kind of way!
Those repetitive loops alongside that sound of a dream weaver or something blowing in the wind make me think of Sun Tzu walking through the empty grass-covered hills with a flute in hand, alone, pondering the throne he lived his life on.
But don’t get it twisted, every song on this project is not only full of quality but fluent from the one that came before or after! It runs like a cinema score, and that’s what’s important here! Nothing but love for the man!
Now onto G Fam. As I stated in the intro, no one makes music like him. He maintains a level of intensity that very few can manage (especially on the consistency that he is), and on this record, he outdoes himself yet again!
Across this album, he not only unleashes his trademark savagery but also refines his flow, pen game, and delivery so that it sounds like the sonic equivalent of Yujiro Hanma becoming an MC! Absolute domination in all areas!
It ain’t easy to live up to a sequel project, but he somehow makes this even more gruesome and deadly than the last! He ups the ante on everything from the concepts to the performances!
What stands out about G Fam is that his verses are normally so long before a chorus that he’s adapting the old school (3-4 verse) per song structure but in his own way by extending his verses instead of breaking up per song! Very smart and feels like homage paid to the OG’s!
Although rapping alongside some of the best in the industry right now, he (as always) maintains his footing and not only matches them but strikes a poisonous chemistry that’s going to knock out all the faggots out there who think they want to try G Fam and company! It’s beautiful to witness!
If you ain’t heard this one yet, make sure you do! It’s on DSP and Bandcamp! If you can’t afford to buy it yet, go stream it for free, then go support the boys! Only $10 USD! It’s worth every dollar!
