(A JUNGLE BOOK)

Man, we are SO FUCKING BACK! I can’t believe it’s finally out. After I heard these two were working together, I was locked in immediately, and now that it’s finally here? Call this shit Shere Khan because they’re KILLING SHIT! Let’s go!

This is the brand-new album between producer FLUDUST x MONEY MOGLY, and they come stacked with a solid 11 tracks with the likes of 

-PRO THE ARTIST

-DOZA THE DRUM DEALER

-HELLZ OWN

-SHOTTIE 

-MICHAEL M

-NoEMOTION GOLDMASK

-PRIMO JAB

-TALI ROD

And man, this shit is almost beyond words. From front to back, this is the definition of ‘next level’ because the chemistry between both FLU and MONEY is undeniable. They worked together as part of the collective, but to hear FLU working solo and creating this level of magic is insane, Liz.

We gotta start with the MC side of things because somehow ONCE GAIN Money has found a way to blow me away. I wasn’t lying when I said he’s at the forefront of the underground due to his originality and creativity on his discography, and this one feels like an elevation of all that! Even from the opening track with that mesmerising chorus work by PRO THE ARTIST that sets up that atmospheric and crisp nature for all the other tracks!

What separates Money from the rest is his freelance fluency on the mic. He never conforms to anyone or any style; he just does him. Sometimes he’s fast-paced, sometimes methodical! Sometimes we hear him go crazy with high-level energy, and other times he’s calm and more serious or introspective. 

The crazy part is that he makes this work! I swear if anyone tried to be so many different lanes at once, it would come across as awkward and cringe, but not him! He’s a creative mastermind who showcases 100 and 1 versions of himself, and they all work! 

And the chemistry he has with the features? It’s absolutely incredible. As much as I loved every one on here, there is one selective track that had me on the edge of my seat as soon as I saw the name! A feature I was told would happen in the future, but to see it so soon had me hyped so fucking much, and as expected, they tore the fucking house down! And that’s 

Money X DOZA! (Track 5) 

This track gave me goosebumps for real! To imagine I would hear a song with these two creative GOATS with FLU on the production? It’s Christmas in March, and it lived up to any and all expectations I could have had! My favourite feature track on the album! 

As far as the production goes, Flu has spent the last few years (solo or otherwise) creating some of my favourite albums in the underground, and this one can be added to the list. He doesn’t miss, and this could very well be his magnum fucking opus!

Across this album, we hear him utilising a range of different styles and influences to create a cinematic experience that will take over all your senses and warp you into a sonic adventure that you’ll be wanting to return to time and time again; it’s that good!

So many tracks stand out to me, for example, that opening track -WXLF CRY WOLF. I love how it incorporated those orchestral chord progressions and those light keys fused with those thudding drums! One of the more minimal tracks that hit you like a tonne of bricks! 

Of course, PRO’s contributions on the chorus add so much fucking flavour and texture to the album that it can’t be understated!

There’s the track -A JUNGLE BOOK, which has this really nice, cinematic score to it with those plucked keys, those wavering chords, and those light yet hypnotic drum beats that force you to rock your head back and forth during the whole song!

I also love how it sounds like there’s the occasional vocal snippet added in that’s been heavily edited! Either way, an absolutely surreal track where Money goes off on!

There’s even the song -GOSPELLS which has this old school gospel feel to it with those angelic choir vocals that is combined with those tasteful drum beats and some deliciously plucked bass strings that are light but effective in creating a specific vibe to the whole track!

There’s also the amazing verses by Shottie X Michael M who destroy the beat!

Man, again I have few words. My words can’t possibly do justice to the scale of greatness this album provides. I beg all of you to click the link below, go support and show these two the love they deserve!
