(CALIFORNIA IS BANNING GLOCKS, I HAVE TO FIGURE SOMETHING OUT)

Man, has this guy been on a roll or what? From last year to now, he’s been on a huge roll, getting the most social media hype I’ve ever seen for any of his upcoming drops. It seems that if his name is listed on something, then it’s sure to be successful, and none more the case with this new tape! With a wide range of producers, this one will definitely go down as one for the record books! Let’s tape in!

This is the brand album by MC 067 Red, with producers ranging from

-BONE WESO

-RED HANDS

-EMOTE

-WUNTWO

-G-96X

And features from 

-???

-ActionFigure973

And man, this album feels as large as the list of names is! From the opening track to the end, there’s a cinematic score that’s been created on this record that can’t be ignored. 

The one thing I’ve noticed from any 067 albums is the level of detail and fluency he has that can tie any amount of tracks to each other in perfect harmony to create such a brilliant soundtrack (as is the case here).

How can I ignore that intro track which starts off with a snippet of a tv report from California talking about the ban on ‘glocks’ coming in the next year, and from there, we get into that beat from the legendary BONE WESO! And boy does he go OFF!

On this beat, we have this trademark jazz-heavy instrumental with those delicate piano keys, two layers of jazz horns, one having a more subtle background loop, the other having a more forefront placement with a free-lance feel to it, as well as some light drums attached! 

I couldn’t think of a better way to kick off the record! 

Then we have the track -HIDDEN AGENDA, which has this smooth feel with those lively key progressions, those plucked bass strings, more beautifully orchestrated horns, and some light vocal harmonies that sound angelic as fuck! This is one of those tracks that you can listen to for hours and never get sick of!

I can’t ignore the fact that this has two modern-day legends on the track with ??? And Action Figure absolutely KILLED THEIR VERSES! 

Even the track -HAVE YOU EVER HAD DINNER WITH A PANTHER- this track is the definition of ATMOSPHERIC! It has that dominating male vocal harmony that feels soulful as all fuck. Next to this loop, you have some light bass, and that’s really it! This is 90% acceptable but done so tastefully that it doesn’t have to matter or stand out at all! Absolutely unreal track!

Once again, noticing that 067 can utilise the most brilliant production and bring them to life unlike anyone else in the business. He doesn’t create songs; he creates experiences.

Speaking of the man, just as he can amplify the production, he does so on his own wordplay to create verbal magic. The way he can utilise the English language and create literal street poetry from it is actually mind-blowing to me, as an obvious enthusiast of literature and its execution. He stands out to me because he can bring to life verses and bars with his freelance combined with definitive passion and conviction to create a new breed of performance that no one is tapped into yet!

You can even see it by the way he names his albums or the song titles. The way he promotes his music and the way he does his socials, he’s on a different wavelength that very few can match or replicate.

He never sounds like a rapper as much as he does an author with the ability to speak literal life into his words and make them manifest on top of the beat to create a pen game that sounds like a man preaching his thoughts and feelings into existence!

The fact he doesn’t have a set flow but appears and disappears whenever he wants, the fact he’s able to turn all those producers into a fluent and cohesive team rather than an awkward scattered mess.

The way he can hold his own against two of the best in the industry and make it look easy is ridiculous!

Everything he does is literally the definition of NEXT LEVEL, and he’s setting the bar for what underground hip hop can and SHOULD aspire to reach.

Make sure you go support them below because by doing so, you are letting yourself experience that ‘next level’.
