For what’s shaping up to be an album that is taking things back to the sounds and influences that made him such a household name to begin with, we have another teaser release by arguably the greatest underground rapper of our time teamed with one of the most underrated producers of the same era. Put them together and you’re guaranteed success because after all, ‘A properly executed plan just won’t fail!’
This is the brand-new single by MC Estee Nack & Producer True Cipher off their upcoming album ‘S.E.T.U. (SE EMBROMARON TODITO USTEDES). My first experience with these two on a full-length was Estee’s 2021 remix album ‘$1000 PLATES OF MANGU’ and since then they’ve proven to be a dangerous pair— a special kind of chemistry!
Across this 2 minutes and 7 seconds, we hear True Cipher incorporate that 2022 energy with Nack’s instrumental! I’m talking about that groovy synth-style violin chord progressions that continually loop without breaking! We’ve also got some light and subtle bass notes that can be heard ever so gently.
I love how there are such few layers going on here but that TrueCipher has the knowledge and experience to turn a little into something grand and popping!
This kind of vibe and atmosphere brings out the best in Nack and that proof is his verse on this track because (and to nobody’s surprise) he absolutely killed it!
Across these 2 minutes, we get the trademark adlibs and introduction warm-up that we’ve come to expect from Nack, just enough to warm the crowd up and get us anticipated for his killer bars!
When the verse comes, we get a beautifully executed Bi lingual pen game that has everything from his legendary wavy aura, his infamous street poetry, his splash flow as well as his sharp bars and precision! He doesn’t fuck around.
I love the fact he’s able to turn any single into a showcase experience! It’s because of how fucking charismatic, authentic, and entertaining he is as a rapper! He doesn’t just spit bars; he MANIFESTS them! Especially when you combine a dope producer like True, and you’ve got yourself the making of a modern-day classic!
If I wasn’t already hyped for this upcoming project from the first single, then this one did it. Hearing their iconic chemistry back in full force made me happier than ever, and now I’m counting the days till the full album drop!
