I’m trying to go back into my more recent memory and think of an artist who has a more diverse singles catalogue than this man! I swear every new track sees him on a new sound, wave, then I saw him last. It’s this unpredictable nature of his that makes reviewing his singles (or the prospect of it) so fucking exciting because you never know what to expect! 

So with that in mind, let’s get into this brand-new song! 

This is the latest track by MC Nero! This time around, we have Isaac No Beat on the production and CAOS as the guest feature with Muzikk doing the service of the hook! Across this 3 minutes and 24 seconds, we hear a more intense and theatrical vibe to the man’s music than we have in the past!

Let’s start off with the MC work first. This feels more like a savage cypher environment than usual verse! Like they are all standing there on a corner at midnight trying to out spit each other with the dopest verses they can think of! Each man has such a gritty and dominant tone with some sharp lyricisms, clever metaphors, smart one-liners, and overall slick performances by both Nero and CAOS!

I love the chemistry both Nero and CAOS have! They’ve worked together more times than I can count, and they always land on the mark! With the knowledge of each other’s preferences and experience together as a duo, it’s only natural that the more they drop together, the doper it comes out!

You also can’t deny Muzikk on the chorus. It’s a very overlooked element: the execution of a chorus. Most people just add whatever, whoever on the cut and forget about it. But this time around, they chose someone with incredible energy, charisma, and ability to draw you in on the limited time he’s on the track! Making the chorus itself a dope experience, and I appreciate the effort they went to doing that! 

As far as the beat goes, this one has that grand feel to it! On this one, you have these sharp violin strings that are combined with that subtle choir-style vocal cords, shimmering piano keys, and some methodical drum pattern. When all this comes together, it gives this cinematic score vibes! The king of instrumental you’d expect to hear during an intense Jet Lee movie fight! Or Avengers scene! 

It’s heavy-handed, emotional, grimy, and yet powerful in execution! In the small handful of times I’ve dealt with Isaac No Beat, he hasn’t disappointed, and this time is no exception. 

Definitely worth checking out this latest killer single by the men involved. From the cypher-like performances to the in-your-face chorus and the slick production! It all comes together amazingly! Listen for yourself below!
