This is an announcement no one in the world could have expected! A supergroup of the most epic fucking proportions! Three heavyweights who have conquered their respective lanes now feel the need to create their own Underground Bullet Club that is officially TAKING OVER!
This is the absolutely enormous fusion of MC’s 067Red, ??? and ActionFigure 973. Curated by the one and only 1000 Words with an equally impressive production list the likes of
-Felons
-DirtyDiggs
-BONEWESO
-Tremendiss
-Cee Gee
-infamousgod
-REDHANDS
-Zilly900
With the sole features of -Mondo Slade & -GREA8GAWD appearing on the track!
To say this album is magnificent couldn’t be more of an understatement. When you have the level of talent (on both the production and the vocals) you’re bound for greatness. As soon as this album was introduced I knew it was going to be a classic and I was right.
First of all, the names attached to the beats? You couldn’t ask for a bigger producer supergroup than this. They are the real-life NWO coming together, wrecking shit, clearing house, and leaving a mark that will last a lot longer than black spray paint! I mean this is some GENERATIONAL SHIT!
Every single name on this list is a powerhouse. There’s no two ways about that, each one could help make an ‘album of the year’ score just on their own (and have done that quite literally) so to see them working together is any underground hip hop fan’s dream come true.
From the cinematic arrangements of BONEWESO, to the minimal excellence and utilisation of Tremendiss to the larger-than-life and theatrical effects and sounds of Felons!
The iconic and lavish collection of instrumentation worldwide knows of Cee Gee who has reached the mainstream with his iconic beats!
The smooth, hypnotic, and elegant bangers that only DirtyDiggs can produce! The type of shit that you binge smoking a Cuban cigar and drinking wine!
Infamous God? You’ll be hard-pressed to find a producer more animated and expressive than him! He turns every track into a walking, breathing comic book panel!
REDHANDS, a man who’s become more renowned by the hour thanks to his atmospheric, jazz-heavy influence fusions mixed with boom-bap! On some gritty Herbie Hancock-type shit! And who can forget Zilly900! One of the most underrated and compelling producers in the current landscape!
One to always push the boundaries and try a variety of sounds and inspirations to create a colourful sonic discography that no one can touch!
The point being, THESE NAMES ARE THE GOATS. You won’t find any better than them, and they bring their best food forward on this one with crisp, sharp, and hypnotic instrumentals that I guarantee will be on everyone’s replay list over the coming year!
If I had to play ‘DEVIL’S ADVOCATE’ and choose a favourite beat out of this list? It would have to be -SUPREME MACHINES AKA the intro track by -Felons that was the PERFECT way to set up the album and the trio involved. That high-energy, heavy-handed instrumentation felt like an entrance theme! So fucking dope!
Speaking of the trio. We’ve heard all three rap alongside each other in different times. The most recent being on 067 Red’s ‘CALIFORNIA IS BANNING GLOCKS’ album on the song -HIDDEN AGENA which features all men. Obviously, I wasn’t the only one that was blown away by that combo because here we are now!
This is like watching a Triple Threat match between prime HBK, Ric Flair, and Undertaker. Who do you even root for? When you have three of the absolute pinnacle of hip-hop in one album all on the same song, it makes you feel spoiled for choice as you find every new verse on the songs being your favourite!
The great thing is, each man has such a different style and personality that stands out. From 067’s raspy vocal tones, with his in your face type delivery. Action with his iconic tongue in cheek/braggadocios bars where he’s pretty much the culture’s favourite wrestling geek Bully who loves to dissect every flaw of his opponents in the most creative and entertaining way possible!
Then ??? The man with the one of a kind flow and tone. He’s the prince of splash style with his machine gun like rapping, his flexibility with his bars that wrap around beats like no one else can do and his unique form of street poetry that is equal parts cryptic and compelling!
With these 3 on the case, you can expect nothing but lava lyricisms, unlimited charisma and a hint of brotherly competition in the air. It feels like they are trying to out do one another with each verse delivered and I mean when you have 3 GOATS rapping together that’s bound to be the case.
Accompanying this trio we have Mondo Slade and GREA8GAWD both men (who are incredibly talented in their own rights) help establish and maintain the same course of pen game, energy and balance across the tracks! They hold nothing back and show why they deserve to be mentioned in the same manner as the other 3! Nothing but love and respect for those two!
I’m still feeling buzzed about this album. This has every potential to be ‘AOTY’ in 2026. From the impeccable curating by 1000 Words to the gold standard of production to the note worthy trio. This one is for the record books and if you don’t support this album, then why bother with the culture? BECAUSE EVERYONE ASSOCIATED WITH THIS ALBUM IS THE CULTURE!
