(MARCHITECT)

It’s been an insane year to say the least for this man. A producer that I named the second best of the year as he’s responsible for some of my favourite records of 2025! Working with a range of different MC’s to create a unique sound for each project and now we are finally at the end of his run for the year and with an MC I’m unfamiliar with I’m excited to see what they bring as a duo! So let’s get to it!

This is the brand new EP by Producer Vinyl Villain and MC M-P and together they dropped a solid six tracks with just under 19 minutes of run time to run the sonic marathon one more time before the new year!

It seems on this project, Vinyl has taken his most serene, soulful and luscious production we’ve heard from him all year! Six samples of absolutely soothing renditions of borderline ambient and atmospheric instrumentals that have a breathtaking simplicity to them that I found absolutely addictive! 

You’ve got tracks like -Porches which has this irresistible looped track that I found phenomenal! It’s got this angelic vocal harmony that’s left on a repetitive pattern as well as these delicate piano keys and very subtle jazz-like drum patterns that help give the track a base to build upon! A track that I could easily listen to for hours and never get sick of!

Or we can even inspect the track -Young Deniro which has a more menacing and eerie vibe compared to the other tracks! It’s a mixture of surreal jazz and haunting strings and keys. This kind of has a sombre vibe to it as if this song is in between mourning and death. 

The sound of what I’d expect to hear in between life and passing is what I assume would sound like! It’s truly a spacious and experimental take on a beat that I’ve never heard before!

The song -Bands Anthem Me is another track that caught my attention due to its larger-than-life nature. You’ve got those uplifting piano chords that sound like an organ melody at a church choir! 

On top of that, you have those light drums and a beautifully executed vocal harmony that plays as a loop and as an intro performance that is crisp and simple but in depth! 

Once again, Vinyl shows everyone why he’s one of the best producers we’ve got living, and with this final EP, he wraps up the year in a truly ‘villainous’ manner!

As far as the MC goes. He’s an incredibly talented man that really surprised me! His style kind of reminded me of ‘The Hidden Character’ in execution! I’m talking about that fluent, unpredictable splash flow where he can spit at any given moment or place and still sound good on the beat! 

This man has an incredible level of charisma and eccentricity on the verses! His vocabulary was impressive, as well as his enunciations and pen game sounded crisp and powerful all in one!

Across these six tracks, he showcases an incredible talent for rapping. I can’t believe I haven’t heard of him until now, before he’s definitely a style I would fuck with heavily! From his passion for the sport to his obvious conviction to the fact that he can carry an EP alone, solo, no help, just him and his ridiculous MC skills and raw attitude to keep it high energy and entertaining! 

Not everyone can mesh this we’ll

Under the production of Vinyl, but this man M-P proved he’s one of the rare ones! Absolutely annihilating the beats, making them his own whole, incorporating his own aesthetic and atmosphere to elevate each and every instrumental, making this one of the most memorable EP’s I’ve heard this month!

So, make sure you check this one out. A collaboration worthy of your attention and one I can see being on everyone’s radar for a while to come!
