Alright, I’m calling it now. Johnny Slash has my new favourite producer tag! Every time I hear it, I get hyped. As I said regarding his last single, this man has been on a roll unlike many others! He’s worked with an array of different artists, and now he’s back with a few familiar names to prove his worth once again! Let’s fucking go! HERE’S JOHNNY!
This is the brand-new single by the mentioned producer as well as MC’s Coast LoCastro and Little Vic! With these two verbal titans on the cut, they turn this three minutes and twenty seconds into a hip-hop massacre of epic proportions!
Let’s talk about the rapping. As I should have expected when these two are on the mic, there’s no chance of a mediocre verse, just flames all around! Starting things off, Coast Lo Castro brings back to the fourth his trademark gritty exterior and attitude with his in-your-face bars, his tough mentality, and his brash/street poetry that’s equal parts powerful and sharp!
Whenever he’s on the track, he brings to life that bully rap style where he’ll take your head off it if you’re not careful!
He’s cold, smooth, and possesses one of the best pen games in the industry right now!
A lot of that can be said about Little Vic! This man doesn’t play around either!
What makes him unique is his expressive voice and animated performances where you can feel every single word and bar he spits. He puts so much emotion and emphasis on the way he pronounces his words to the point it sounds cinematic!
He’s a name and style that will be etched into your brain with just one listen. His out-there, colourful, and outgoing demeanour paired with his complex and gritty lyricism makes him one of the biggest threats in the culture (alongside Coast).
Both these men have the opportunity to be on a JOHNNY SLASH production, which is just the cherry on top of the cake. Why? Because this man has consistently been giving us bangers after bangers non-stop! He’s a titan!
Across this track, we get ourselves a trademark underground hip hop blueprint with those sticky keys on rotation, those methodical drums, heavy bass, as well as these swaying chords in the chorus aspect of the track!
There are also those various sound adlibs from blade swinging sounds, random voice snippets, explosion sounds, and more!
He understands the calibre of artists on this track and the best way to utilise them best, and that’s why this production is tailor-made for these beats to go off on!
Trust me, this isn’t the kind of track you want to ignore or sleep on! Two dominant MC’s paired with a powerhouse producer! Instead of trying to be a ‘wannabe friend’, why not be a real supporter and check it out now!
