(Touchin Cheese)

As I began to write this review, I remembered something that I’d completely forgotten about last year.

For a big chunk of 2025, Snotty was the singles king! I still remember before I even did monthly awards and did my first Q1 awards, he was on their list for Artist of the first few months! Single after single, he didn’t stop! This was before dropping his now iconic ‘Blue Carpet’ project, and now it’s the new year, and it seems he’s back on the same grind that gained him so much traction in 2025. Let’s fucking go!

This latest song is by the aforementioned MC Snotty! An Umbrella Collective soldier who has spent the last few years refining his craft! Alongside him for this one is producer Isaac LaRue, and together they drop a solid 1 minute and 48 seconds of heat that only Snotty could provide! 

Across this track, we have Snotty on his Escobar shit; his street poetry is legendary. It ain’t just his vivid descriptions or charisma behind his works, but it’s the fact that he’s actually a super complex MC that fits many different techniques within one verse or one song that can sometimes get overshadowed by all the muddy, gritty lyricism and cadence, but if you really sit back and listen to him on the mic, he’s technically savvy as fuck! He doesn’t fuck around.

The first 30-40 seconds of the song, I thought he was on his MF Doom shit; the way he was switching up wordplay and bars was scientific as hell.

He hasn’t lost a step, and considering I’ve heard him on many features this year already, it’s no surprise he’s still at the top of his game!

Also, on this one, he sings the chorus to cover the last 30 seconds of the track to end the track on a more melodic note!

Speaking of melodic notes, we have Isaac, who is a man I’ve never experienced before but someone who will remain on my radar after this! Across this track, we hear a more stripped-back and minimal yet soulful approach to the instrumental as we hear these plucked strings on loop in two slightly different tones.

There are super subtle bass notes across this track, as well as some far-away tapping sounds that give this song a bit of an intricate element to the layers!

Again, this is more on the bare side of beats, but these kinds of instrumentals always suit Snotty the best, so I feel Isaac understood his audience and worked accordingly! A fantastic beat nonetheless, the less!

This is definitely a track you should all try out! Short, sweet, and memorable! Never doubt the umbrella bitch!
