Talk about someone who definitely doesn’t get the credit he deserves. This man has had a steady year with the who’s who of names to accompany him! Now he’s back with possibly one of his darkest releases yet! Let’s talk about it!
This is the brand-new project by MC Sayzee! This album features production from
-Himself
-Sonny Carson
-Nar
-Sibbs Roc
-The Russian Futurists
-The OddFather
And with guest sputters such as
-Daniel Son
-Richie Sosa
These two amplify the record in a way very few can and help expand this eight-track project to its fullest potential!
Starting off with the production. As I mentioned above, this could be his more sinister and violent sounds he’s put to the studio. Not even necessary the music itself as much as it is the vibes, themes, and concepts he’s bringing to the table.
This really does feel like a Halloween-approach record with darker methods, music that’s a lot more minimal and raw in approach with suits Say to a Tee.
Whether we are talking about the track ‘Cannons’, the opening track. You’ve got those swaying synth chords with that minor tragic jazz influence with those end horns and those heavy drum patterns that make this a bizarre combo of sounds that’s that acts as the perfect introduction!
From there, we have tracks like ‘With’, which has a lot of a laid-back presence with those light Spanish acoustic guitars and super subtle drums that make this feel like a reflection track to make you think about life while Sayzee and Daniel Son go off and flex some of the coldest bars they’ve ever spit!
To go from crazy experimental to laid back and casual speaks to the free form he’s wanting on this record. Where there’s no safety corner for the listener, expect anything and everything!
Further proof of this is track ‘Coffin Dive’, which appears towards the end of the record and has a strong thriller/horror movie feel to it that I was addicted to!
You’ve got those methodically paced guitar strings with those hypnotic drums that combine to make a skeletal yet infectious instrumental that you could stew in for hours!
On this track, we have Richie, who uses his own serving of charisma and devastating ability that is every part horrifying as the beat!
All these beats to say that he ain’t playing it safe on this one. He doesn’t care about traditional structure or behaviours. He wants to execute his record HIS WAY and provide the audience with the most uncertainty as possible, and I mean when you clicked on the record ‘I Spit On Your Grave’, did you expect a relaxing message?
Now onto Sayzee. Somehow, he keeps getting better and better with every new release. Across this record, he shows us a more aggressive and psychotic side that we haven’t seen yet. He sounds like a man who has been dying to showcase his more brutal alter ego but never really had the chance to.
If anything, I would have expected this side to come out on his ‘Two Way Mirror’ record, as that was (I’d assume) his most aggressive up until that point!
But regardless, on this album, he’s spitting on everyone’s grave, Scott Hall, your grandma’s, fuck you, and yours, he’s getting his! A true American psycho, he’s spitting BARS left, right, and centre, trying to hit everyone.
His verses are as cold and harsh as ever, his flow is intense and in your face, as if he’s Jason, ready to hold that machete to your face! His aura is dark and brooding with the feel of one small sense would cause him to beat your skull in, and his pen game is as vicious and as deadly as it’s ever been!
It’s not that he’s just a skilled MC’s but it’s everything from his impressive vocabulary, his way with how he says the words. The structural situations he sets up during the verses, and the aura (dark or otherwise) that he shows on the beats!
Of course, when he’s paired with features such as Daniel Son and Richie, his intensity grows as he sharpens his own skill to maintain on the level of those titans, and he does that fantastically!
All in all, he hasn’t had a bad album this year yet, and he doesn’t start here! It’s cold, calculating, raw as hell, and infectious in every way possible!
