This is the definition of a surprise drop! One of the most prolific artists of 2025, a man who wouldn’t know what ‘taking an L’ looks like if he tried, has just shocked the culture with an unannounced release for Halloween, and we are here to cover it! Let’s go!
This is the brand-new album by MC Ferris Blusa! Covering a fresh eight tracks and 18 minutes of content that feels darker and more intense than usual! From that opening track, you can hear those build-up keys, those sharp synth chords that almost sound like ‘Thriller’ in execution, as Ferris uses the art of anticipation to build suspense and excitement for what’s to come in the rest of the record!
When the album properly hits, we are hit with some cinematic and theatrical touches of underground hip hop that is elevated beyond anything else I’ve heard him on this year! (Which is saying a lot.) Every time I think he’s reached his ceiling, he shatters it into something even greater in quick succession!
I love how fluent and consistent the production is on this record. It feels like a walk through a haunted street at midnight. It’s unsettling, nerve-racking, and violent. The kind of instrumentals that could leave a man on the edge of listening to at night time!
It’s sharp, ruthless, overpowering, and decisive in execution and set up!
If I had to describe what the music itself reminds me of, it would have to be a combination of ‘Geto Boys’ and ‘Twisted Insane’. It’s got that combination of new school hip hop with twisted and yet that malicious, gritty tone of a classic Geto record. Truly a terrifying mix!
Especially for an album that’s only 18 minutes long! This thing feels like fucking 30! It feels like an underground edition of a ‘Twilight Zone’ episode, and it’s honestly addictive to listen to and perfect for a Halloween drop!
The GAWD himself is on a roll with this record. His down-to-earth and raw energy is amplified tenfold across this project with those darker and sinister themes in place! He’s out for blood and showing no mercy as he raps what could possibly be his most memorable and evil bars to date!
He makes sure to utilise every single second of those eight tracks to a tee! Wasting no time and energy as he makes sure to enunciate every word, hit the bars exactly where they are supposed to be hit, land his trademark one-liners, phrases, and double entendres when necessary, and continuing to dominate with his verbal massacres across the record!
Once again, rocking with no features required, he’s taking centre stage, and he’s one of those MC’s that is more than comfortable in that role. He has enough charisma, personality, and ability to lead a record start to finish without the help of anyone else besides him, and he’s proven that time and time again!
For a man of his calibre to drop out of the blue and still maintain this level of fire is ridiculous. He literally dropped a few weeks ago a record most would consider ‘AOTY’ (dropped a few of those actually) only for him to do it again without any hype or promotion? That is the real definition of a GOAT!
So, get your popcorn ready, your favourite beverage, and get ready to soak into the chaotic story that is ‘The Night Gawd Dreamed Of Ashes’.
