Well, talk about something I wasn’t expecting to hear this year or any! A meeting of the minds between two of the most proficient and prolific producers in the game right now, doing what they do best in enhancing the culture and breathing new life into the game, and that’s exactly what’s happened on here! Let’s talk about it!
This is a brand new and very exciting release by the two producers, Jazzylionman and YFI! Making this a beat tape of epic proportions and one that was bound to provide a level of eccentric content that you won’t get anywhere else with these two minds involved!
10 tracks and 14 minutes of content, and of
course, as this is a beat tape, no vocals to speak of, but I knew the moment I pressed play that this wouldn’t be an issue to worry about because based on the previous experience with these two separately, I knew what kind of heat they were capable of bringing to the table, and even so, this record surpassed all my expectations and then some!
This album plays and breathes like a prophecy coming true. The grand and cinematic nature in which these sounds come together is truly a testament to both men and their abilities.
You’ve got angelic instrumentals such as tracks like ‘HEMBRAANDMACHO’ which consists of the minimal layers of some acoustic guitar, light what sounds like bongo taps, and some incredible vocal melody that runs through the whole track! The type of track I could listen to for hours and never get sick of it!
Or we have tracks such as ‘NIRVANA’ which, with a similar formula, has this incredibly lush and harmonic atmosphere with those delicate keys, light bass, and another solid vocal loop that just takes away the stress of the day away! Each track is kept rather short, which helps maintain that attention span, which is a smart move by these two!
Another track I found really interesting was ‘UNEXPECTEDTHOUGHTS’. This track had a hint of experimental qualities to it. With that bizarre vocal loop that sounds cursed and haunted (I’m pretty sure it’s been played backwards), which is creepy by itself. On top of that, you have those glitchy chords at the start of the song and then just some methodically paced drums and more subtle uses of those glitchy chords throughout!
This song stands out for its unique nature that feels different from the rest!
Although there are only ten songs on here, each song is bursting with personality and emotion because of the calibre of both men. There’s never a boring or stale second within the songs, and they are presenting a score unlike anything you’ll hear anywhere else!
For its creativity and originality alone, this is definitely one for the record books! Make sure you witness the amazing chemistry between two of the hottest (pause) producers in the game right now!
