When I think of three artists who have made a major breakthrough of the year, no more make a bigger impression than these three. This trio has had extraordinary success in 2025, and all in their own lanes have gained notoriety for their quality and dedication, and now as they come together, they are bound for more undoubted success. Let’s talk about it!
This is the powerhouse collaboration between the trio of MC’s B1 The Architect/Words and the producer Hi-Q, and they come together as a unit, making 12 tracks with the gang of
-DJ Invasion
-Shark
-Jake Haw
And now this thing is a grand project as you’ll find in the world today! With these three names associated, you have a record that’s equal parts -defying, -passionate, and -atmospheric in the most fundamental ways possible!
If we start with that production, once again, Hi-Q showcases exactly why he’s one of the most talented and developed producers we’ve experienced in the game right now. From his first January project to now, he’s like a whole new person with a brand new arsenal and a tier of quality that most will die to attain!
Right off that opening track, as we hear the combination of those swaying chords, elegant piano work, strummed strings, and such a heavy emphasis on rawness that it feels sinful to attempt to ignore such a bombastic instrumental!
Not to mention that ridiculously thick bass that has me damn near shaking in my chair and crumbling my headphones!
You’ve got the track ‘Crushed Bones’ which sounds like a hate anthem. If 555 is human and 666 is the devil, then this is the 1000th element made of pure violence, grime, and devastation! You’ve got those dark choir vocals, those looped horns, minimal drum effects, and those ridiculous strings and cuts that this track feels like a fever dream of epic proportions! Has to be my favourite beat on the whole record!
Even if we look at the track ‘Burning Down The Entrance’, which sounds like Lucifer himself just walked into the building! You’ve got those haunting piano keys, those eerie chords, and those rhythmic drum beats that come together to make a supernatural track that is literally the sonic equivalent of ‘Burning Down The Entrance’ of all the worthless haters and their bitch-ass sounds!
Once again, Hi-Q has proved the Q stands for Quality as he drops another set of banger tracks that somehow make an even stronger statement than before!
Speaking of stronger statements, we have to discuss the performances and chemistry of both B1 and Words. With what sounds like verbal battleships, when you move B1 to Words, you SINK the competition with no chance of survival. Across this record, we hear these two underground titans play a sonic game of brotherly warfare as they try to outdo the other with their strongest abilities and skills yet!
Between the two of them, you have each man showcasing their own unique talents, their equally dope but uniquely positioned MC skills and cadences that make them the beasts they are today.
With Words, you have that trademark sadistic streak of intense wordplay, his no-nonsense approach to his flow, and his killer pen game that makes you wonder if you’re listening to just a hardcore MC or a secret serial killer flaunting his body count!
A man with no empathy or remorse for the competition and doesn’t even water down his style for the brother alongside him! He’s a vicious competitor who will use his words to put you down if you let them!
Tagging alongside him, we have the wordsmith himself, B1! A true architect for the English language who has a million ways he can out-rap, out-word, and out-verse you and make it look easy!
He’s known for his strong and steady flow with his charisma-flooded complex lyrical structures and intricate pen game that can take endless amounts of directions (as we’ve seen with his last releases) up until now.
If anything he’s the literacy professor who has no fear of anyone or anything in his path as he knows just how strong he is!
Both of them bring with them a select few who are strong willed enough to survive being on tracks with these duo and they knock their guest parts out of the park! Solid verses that add energy to the tracks where needed!
All in all, (as expected) this trio doesn’t miss. With phenomenal performances on each end this is one for the fucking record books! Whether your B1 or H-Q using mathematics or WORDS this is a formula everyone will understand and feel!
