This is another example of an artist who’s been killing it over 2025. With a steady flow of releases that have gained steady attention and interest over the months, working with a whole team of various producers who have helped establish his signature sound and made him the artist he is today! So for what I assume to be one final time of the year, let’s go!
This is the brand-new release by MC Reek Osama and this time with Producer SkumBag Diggs with 11 tracks, 29 minutes, and the likes.

-Hank Dope
A collection of A+ Tier underground names who in their own lanes have killed it this year as well! But across this field, lend to the atmosphere of the record!
On this one. We hear SkumBag create a solid score filled with some of the most cinematic interactions of Boom Bap that you’ve ever heard! This speaks right away with that opening track -Prada Balaclava, where we hear those luscious & delicate piano keys looped alongside those sharp & subtle chord layers and thudding drum with that ridiculous bass that makes for a powerhouse of an intro track!
As the album goes on, the sounds only get more interesting and theatrical! Taking the very next song for example, we have a take to the more muddier version of the album. You’ve got those distorted chord progressions alongside light piano keys and such heavy bass that it overwhelms the senses!
Not to mention the feature by BlueHill, someone who has proven his ability to adapt to any production, especially the more raw material (such as these ones).
I find for me the track -Lost My Sanity has to be my standout beat! It has this stadium, mainstream feel to it (like something you’d hear 50 Cent or Jay-Z on) but with a combination of the trademark underground Hip Hop sound to create a blend of both worlds that I found myself gravitating to over the repeats!
To say the least, SkumBag created such a strong showing for Reek and all the affiliated involved!
Speaking of Reek, and his showing, he once again puts on a masterclass of MC work in his trademark gruesome, raw, and unhinged take on the underground’s sound that has kept him at the forefront of the culture for the whole year!
What makes him such a dangerous threat is the fact that he can combine his ruthless and cold-blooded performance alongside his genuine skill as a wordsmith and storyteller!
Not many are as good at telling stories or painting vivid imagery as he is! He’s able to dive deep into the filth and violence of life and create art from it. As if he’s the spokesman for the depths of depravity the world has to offer and was born from it!
His bars feel less like bars and more like haunting warnings of deadly foreshadowing! As if he knows something we don’t and is providing an endless stream of threats and warnings to the world!
The company he brought with him is just as strong as he is with the eccentric personalities and performances! The type who can blend any instrumental and are some of the most original lyricists and musicians we’ve heard in 2025. Men I’ve covered all year, men who haven’t disappointed me yet!
Needless to say, this was another amazing record by Reek. I don’t think I’ve come across a mediocre record yet, and as expected, he ended 2025 with a bang!
Shoutout to everyone involved and SkumBag on the production!
