If that ain’t the most dope intro of the year, then I don’t know what is! Any release by this man gets me hyped. Why? Because he has such a unique talent and creative mind that he makes all his drops feel like a comic book come to life and fused with hip-hop, and that is right up my alley, and so in saying that, let’s go talk about this new one!
This is the brand-new EP by one of the underground’s brightest minds, Wulverine! A producer I’ve been fucking with since close to the start of this year, and he’s only been improving me further and further! Across this tape, he has the names:
– Action Figure 973
– twogeebs
– The Rebel Sky
– Heartbreak Julio
– Figerson
– EricTheRed13
First thing I love is how with every track, we hear a different contingency plan! Making it sound like each feature is a villain who got leaked access to the plans to take out each member of the Justice League! Such a dope concept and way to edit that in!
Across this EP, we hear Wulverine incorporate his trademark cinematic and theatrical takes on hip-hop beats. A few that stood out to me were as follows!
– 28-14. On this track, we have this orchestral production with powerful violin strings that sound like they’ve been manipulated and tweaked only to a certain extent! And some elegant piano keys that give the track its surreal texture, a true villainous soundtrack!
With the intro being the contingency plan for ‘Green Lantern’, we have The Rebel Sky being the one to lay the smack down on the Lantern Core! Very well done track.
Track – LAST SUN (which is the contingency for Superman), and on this one, we hear a more haunting instrumental. With these high-strung synth chords accompanied by some sci-fi-style keyboard keys and minimal heavy drums that come together for this truly evil score that is perfect standing for Action Figure 973 to come through and absolutely destroy Clark with his verbal kryptonite that Ka-El couldn’t hope to handle, Hope or otherwise!
Another one -OLYMPUS is one of the most soulful tracks on the whole EP. Unfortunately, no contingency intro, but put towards the outro! But it’s obviously about Diana ‘Wonder Woman’ and this track features these gorgeous vocal harmonies and light drums and mesmerising synth chords running through
the track!
In this beautifully crafted track, we have Heartbreak Julio which delivers a rather expert but tragic verse talking about the handling of Wonder Woman!
Man, for real though, with every song and feature on here, this has to be one of the most creative and interesting concepts for an EP I’ve heard all year! Legit, everyone on here killed it, they all put together incredible performances and verses related to their specific hero to kill and the way they all played into the roles was phenomenal! Can’t believe I got to live long enough to see Action Figure turn Heel!
Man, shoutout to all the features involved and for Wolverine once again coming through with that creative genius on the production! Make sure you go support the man! $7 ain’t SHIT and I don’t wanna hear any excuses, go buy, support, and listen NOW!
