(Vows Under Gold)

This is a producer I’ve had my eye on for a minute. He’s a man who has gotten a ton of traction on socials, and this album specifically blew up too big for me to ignore! So, with that in mind, I felt it was my duty to review this massive February drop! Let’s talk about it! 

So, this is the full-length drop by Producer Spanish Ran, and he drops a solid nine tracks, a half-hour record with the likes of: 

-UFO FEV

-Sauce Heist

-Pinnland

-Fastlife

-Al-Doe 

– Manhattan

-Bloo Azul 

-Eddie Kaine

-TOP HOOTER

-Shaykh Hanif

-AVENUEBLVD

-Tree Mason

With that incredible list of names. On name value alone, this record has no other choice but to be dope! 

Of course, it feels only fair to talk about the production because initially, the best words I have to describe this are ‘Classic Art Meets Modern Art’ because that’s how it sounds to me.

He’s creating original fusions of old-school sound samples and vocal cords with the present-day underground boom-bap wave, and the result is extraordinary to say the least.

It all runs like a cohesive piece of art. A sonic equivalent of trying to absorb and take in the beauty of a painting or structure at a museum or exhibition. 

He’s like a curator of different periods of artistic expression, combining the best of all worlds to create an experience unlike any other, using ‘Hip Hop’ as the medium and the various genres and influences as the audio paintbrush for this incredible piece.

I’m not joking; most of the time I was listening to this album, I was just sitting there trying to comprehend the level of artistry, attention to detail, and the fantastical fusions he was bringing together to make these beats work. 

It’s like I was in a warped Time Machine, one second I’m in old country Italy, the next I’m on the rough streets of Boston, the next second I’m in the 1950s attending a classical event with champagne, suits, and dresses. It’s a fast-paced sample of all these different music styles that all feel so vivid and unique that you feel the cultures running through your body like cultural goosebumps!

This is one fluent, cohesive score that brings to life the best parts of many different aspects of music and brings them together as one. It’s an effort I honestly haven’t heard done to the extent this album did, and now I completely understand the hype of this man. The world was listening, and now I am too!

Again, you’d be a fool to assume any of those MC’s listed for this project could perform a wack bar or verse, and now you’ve got them all together to absolutely elevate this lavish production with their unique tiers of skill, charisma, and performances!

Each track slaps hard because of the various personalities on lock! You ain’t hearing two of the same flows because none of these men are generic! They all have the power to rock shit solo, so it’s no wonder each song sounds so distinctive, savage, and powerful when you have multiple coming together at once to rock a beat!

Once again (just like the production), the features land in a fluent style motion. I’m sure there’s a level of brotherly competition going on, each MC trying to have the best verse of the night, but no features feel forced or overshadowed. There’s no awkward dialogue or cringy bars or shitty flow; nothing but pure, unadulterated respect, energy, and lyricism by all involved, and that honestly is one of the major factors for why this album sounds as good as it does!

Trust me, if you haven’t heard this one yet, you’re missing out! It’s the definition of ‘larger than life’ and it’s bound to make your top of the month list guaranteed!

(The Dead Light District)

We are so back, with my first cover of a full tenth of this man in 2026. I covered his iconic single ‘FUCK ICE’ in January, but you know when it comes to LP’s this man doesn’t miss, and neither will I! So let’s get to it!

This is the brand-new album by MC G-Fam Black and Producer Omar Glomar, and together they drop a savage batch of nine tracks with the likes of 

-B1 The Architect

-Kingdom Kome

-Pro

-Sankofa

-Crotona P

-Mike Titan

An absolute main event roster of names to accompany this devastating drop by a man who has proven to be dangerous in any release he’s on (single or otherwise). 

Across this tape, we hear a new, evolved 2026 G-Fam. It feels like he’s literally carrying the weight of all the world on his shoulders and all its problems, politics, and pain, and transferring it into murderous intent that sounds as deafening and morbid as it ever has!

From his flow to his bars, terror-ridden rhythm, and pen game, he’s here to massacre the instrumentation, and that’s exactly what he does, no bodies, evidence, or nothing, just burned dust of corpses he incinerated! 

It seems with every new album, he’s leveling up and becoming less human by the week. Transforming himself into a literal underground monster whose voice became growls and screeched, and his aura became suffocating stenches of death! It’s like listening to a real-life snuff film come to life the way he handles himself across these tracks! (I gotta wonder how he sounds in real life!)

The features that accompany him are filled with some familiar and some new. The final two men, Mike Titan and Crotona P, were a pleasant surprise, and they crushed their verses as per usual, and the other memorable collaborators continued their streak of excellence on their respective tracks and maintained the solid energy and chemistry they’ve built with G-Fam until

Now! 

As far as Omar’s production is concerned. If G Fam is the serial killer of the movie, Omar is the score composer. You know what they say: ‘If you don’t want to get scared watching a horror film, cover your ears, not your eyes,’ and at this rate, with this duo in hand, you’re going to have to attempt to cover both to avoid the long nights and nightmares coming your way after listening to this one because he channels a level of grime that I haven’t heard, period.

This is beyond muddy boom bap; this is literally ‘music to be murdered by,’ and I ain’t talking Slim Shady. The beats are horrific (in a shocking way), the production is ruthless, and the engineering and structuring of the instrumentals is beyond scary; it’s scarring at this point.

These nine tracks are various stages of hell taken human sonic form. With each level becoming more powerful and intense than the last. This listening experience is definitely NOT for the weak of heart as we hear Omar inherit the very definition of torturous chaos and elevate it to new heights that no one has heard before. I’m no stranger to this guy’s music in the past, but this soundtrack of doom is uncomfortable and uncompromising in its own lane. 

If you think you’ve heard music like this before (you haven’t), this puts the subgenre of ‘Horrorcore’ to shame. This duo is anything but ordinary, and you’ll experience that firsthand when you click the link below, buy, and support the artists, and listen at your own risk!

(B.O.N.D)

I can’t believe that 23Incredible Industries are continuing to evolve after the immaculate year they had in 2025. If anyone else had a year like they did, they would live off that hype and fame till retirement, but not this crew! Not only are they NOT settling after what they’ve already accomplished, but they are using their label and connections to highlight and showcase the new generation talent that they have to offer. We’ve already seen that aspect from projects such as 

-BONEWESO (THE VAULT VOL. 1)

-Nyeusi Loe (YUNG LAZARUS) and now we have the upcoming work of another major talent in their roster. Is there anything this team can’t do? While we wait to see if they ever have a flaw, let’s get to this brand-new single!

New song drop by MC CHYNA BAEJING, an artist I’ve had some experience with regarding a handful of her features across a variety of different albums but none with her own solo stuff! And of course, the top tier produced himself, BONEWESO, and together they drop this banger 3 minutes and 09-second music video that’s shot by -REVENXNT. 

Now let’s start with that incredible beat. Across this instrumental, we hear a more atmospheric, ambient, and methodically charged beat that feels spacey and outer world in execution. You’ve got those delicate/zoned-out strings that loop in the background ever so gently! 

On top of that, we have this wavy/almost echoing what sounds like white noise in the background that gives this track an extra depth of mystery and fascination!

There’s also this sharp violin string that comes and goes every 20-25 seconds or so that provides a looming heartbeat of the track! 

As well as all that, there are those synth-inspired keyboard sounds that come together to form this unorthodox yet hypnotic sound that I can’t get enough of!

As well, let’s move to discuss the verse itself. CHYNA showcases her ever-growing potential by laying down a full three-minute verbal assault that is a combination of paying homage to the original architects of the ‘splash style’ and also mixing in her own tone, frequency, and charisma to create a brand-new version of rapping that is exclusive to just her.

For example, she shows traits of the ‘splash style’ by her tendency not to worry about making sure the words land on the beat in proper formation (as you’d expect in the old school). Her flow is unpredictable, acrobatic, and dynamic! She chooses when and where she wants her wordplay to start and end. Sometimes she’ll do short bars; sometimes she’ll set up a start and finish with a lot of words in between. She’s playing 3D chess with her own lyricism and rhythm.

And on the other hand, she utilises a massive surge of cold emotion and energy to electrify the words she’s spitting. Every word she spits feels alive and static in nature! She ain’t just kicking bars; she’s breathing elements into the mic, and you can hear it.

It goes through your body like getting shocked randomly on a piece of metal, that light hit of voltage that you feel in your fingertips, that’s what her performance sounds like but for the ears! It’s ridiculous.

Also, the fact that she doesn’t waste a single breath; she’s non-stop the whole track because she wants to prove herself. She understands the gift of having such an iconic producer, beat, and label beyond her and is also well aware of her own gifts and abilities, and that makes for a deadly combination that puts everyone in the culture on notice!

If this is just one song! I can’t imagine what the album will sound like. This is going to be one for the ages, I can guarantee that! 23Incredible are unstoppable!

(ZING FOOTPRINTS)

Now THIS is an exciting return. I guarantee you I can ask anyone in the underground right now and ask ‘who is the most anticipated player you are waiting on in 2026?’ And without a doubt this man’s name will be in everyone’s top 5! After an unbeatable discography last year, me and everyone else were wondering what was next and then we got the album announcement and then a teaser single! This day can’t get any better, so with all that in mind, it’s time to cover the brand new single by the LORD OF THE ZINGZ himself!

This brand new track is by MC, Wavy Lord, FEED THE FAMILY member Borirock! This time around he comes equipped with fellow MC Rome Streetz and Producer Vish, and together they drop a banging 2 minutes and 50 seconds that’s sure to get you hyped more than any other single this year!

Starting with that production, it begins with this real intense, almost orchestral presentation of sharp strings in that jittery, fast-paced motion alongside some deep bass cuts that sound like a soundtrack from a horror movie! Setting up a powerfully dark tone of the instrumental, as the track unfolds, we remain with that interluding sounds but now added with some thudding drum patterns and what sounds like some heavy, deep horns that aren’t clear to distinguish, but the more I pay attention, the more I can hear it, as if it’s lingering in the background providing an extra depth of eerie energy to the track!

Although there aren’t many layers to this track, it’s still an overwhelming instrumental that makes you feel uneasy, and no doubt that was their intention! To create an unforgiving boom-bap, wavy track that will shake you to your bones (and Vish does just that).

Of course, this song starts with Bori! We hear him before he even drops his first verse as his trademark adlibs flood the song in the opening credits and continue throughout the song. Once his verse finally arrives, we get his classic wavy, charismatic, and animated performance that makes him a one-of-a-kind artist!

He’s as fluent as can be, his words hit on that beat like wind on a piece of grass! He’s got that slick flow, sharp street poetry combined with his precise bars and gritty one-liners and puns that force your face into a mean mug to hear him spitting his shit! One of the best to ever do it when it comes to those rough and rugged street lyricism!

The big surprise comes in the second verse when we are greeted with the powerhouse MC Rome Streetz who closes the track off with absolute domination!

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you are familiar with the rise of Rome, he’s been killing it for years now and he’s showing no signs of slowing down! 

He’s a beast on this track with his ridiculously smooth flow combined with his killer presence, bullseye precision and his notorious brash, in-your-face lyricism that is consistently used to remind us and his contemporaries that he’s the one running shit right now and he never misses the chance to rub it in!

He makes for incredible chemistry with Bori! They both have similar auras and charisma. Both can rock a beat and both share the same raw street bars that make you start looking at the world in a more dangerous place! 

You’d be a fool not to take advantage of this track! Two of the most recognised MC’s in the underground coming together under the same banner! And Vish providing that muddy beat! Go check it out below and show the guys some love!

(PRINCE AND VANITY)

The second NARCOMIX of the year! I gotta admit the album cover and title threw me off (until I realised what album it was from). I was like ‘oh shit, is he actually attempting to remix both PRINCE and VANITY? Had me blown away until I finally realised. Anyway, with a clear head in mind, let’s talk about it!

This is the brand-new remix track by MC Gustavo Louis, who has returned to cover a track from the latest Roc Marciano album ‘656’ in the form of the song ‘Prince & Apollonia’ with his own take on ‘PRINCE AND VANITY’. So, how does it go? 

First of all, a quick description of the production. We have a classical feel to it with those sharp chord progressions followed by those delicate keys and those super light strings that give this song a more hypnotic nature! 

Not many layers in this instrumental, but that is the beauty and talent of a guy like Roc to make such a minimal song rock! 

So, comparison between the two! While we have a more traditional flow approach by Roc, we don’t get the same result from Gustavo. Instead (as expected at this point), we get a more off-the-cuff, freelance, and ‘splash’ verse interpretation by the man as he uses the 2 minutes and 15 seconds to go off on!

He brings back those entertaining, charismatic verses combined with his street poetry that is equal parts vivid and precise! He’s always the type to add in quirky puns, tough one-liners, and complex bar set-ups that never go the way you think they will!

He doesn’t even stop to take a breath for the duration of the song. It’s just pure, unadulterated lyricism with his wild flow that utilises that smooth instrumental with his chaotic contrast of a performance that I feel suits it considering the fact that the beat and rapping are on two opposite spectrums!

While I do prefer more original music over these NARCOMIXES, you can’t deny their value as entertaining and creative! Trying his hand at doing verses already established by the best in the world and leaving it to the listener to decide who did it better, it’s a bold move, but if Gustavo is anything, it’s fucking bold! Go check it out below and see what you think!

(Dead Man’s Hand)

As we step closer and closer to the album drop, every new single is starting to feel more exciting, and this is no exception. From the first album I covered of his to the various tracks he’s only gotten stronger with time, and if this new song is any indication of what the album will sound like, then we are in for a fucking treat! Let’s go!

This is the brand-new single by MC (1/3 of my personal Monster Trio), JJackpot, and produced by Koba Dera, and together they reunite with a quick 1 minute and 46 seconds just to wet the appetite of the audience and leave us hungry for the grand drop!

On this one, we hear Koba back on his heavyweight shit! Never one to join the trend of that ridiculous over-the-top shit, he’s the kind to pay homage to the OG style of things. What I mean is minimalistic layers that are mastered and refined so well that it sounds cinematic, and that’s exactly what’s happening here!

On this track, we hear these beautifully plucked strings in that infectious loop, combined with some synth-style key progressions and a heavy-handed drum pattern that wraps the whole track together!

There’s also some faint sci-fi-inspired chords that run through the track every few seconds! Giving the song a bit of ‘spooky’ texture! 

Either way, the mastery is making a track that isn’t even a minute and fifty seconds rock as hard as this one does! Never a boring second to be found, and it proves just how killer he is because if he can do this with a short beat, imagine what can be done with a fully developed longer one? He’s absolutely one of my favourite producers right now!

Also, can’t help but love that ending skit of a card game gone wrong! (Or right) depending on perspective! 

Of course, the other half of this duo is JJackpot, one of the most talented MC’s out right now, one who has paved the way for the new generation to follow, and one who possesses one of the most unique performance types I’ve heard in the present day!

As usual, he brings his trademark gravel voice to the mix, using it to portray a vivid story of a man hijacking a card game and using his Stella voice acting to make the scene that much more intense and realistic!

In between that, we hear his iconic fluent flow that seems to always glide across the beat, ever so light yet heavy like bricks of gold. He reminds me of prime Method Man or Redman in that sense; he doesn’t seem to even know how to skip a beat; he’s just on ball each time he spits on the mic.

His pen game is strong, his lyricism is shaped and precise, and his charisma and ability are something I’ll never get sick of! Especially when he’s on a beat with Koba! 

Man, I haven’t been more excited than I am right now for a new JJackpot album. WE NEED IT YESTERDAY! This is another dope teaser, but I’m sick of being teased; I need the full thing; the culture needs it! But in the meantime, check this out!

(Black Sheep)

We are so fucking back! ANOTHER ALBUM? I knew they had the intention of taking over the game, but this is a fucking dictatorship! Three albums in the space of months between one of the most consistent duos you’ll find anywhere! So let’s fucking talk about it!

This is the brand-new album by the legendary pair of producer Big Ghost Ltd and MC Mickey Diamond, and together they drop another 12 tracks with just under 39 minutes, and one again in the third of a trilogy of banger drops. This thing continues that powerful, prolific energy that the other two faced!

Now, across this album, it feels like Mickey is enabling the two different sides of his latest drops to create a middle ground of both. On ‘Dollar $ign Diaries’, we hear a more personal and bearing side to him, while Wolf Ticket is straight, brash, cocky raps reminding the game who the fuck he is! But on this tape, I feel you get a bit of both.

There are so many occasions where he’ll go from discussing his life and events of his time off to immediately going back to verbally smacking the completion in the face with his iconic one-liners! Like we have his aggressive side showing when he says stuff like ‘I took a year off, and the underground went to shit’ or ‘I’ll kill myself if I see another rapper with a mask on’. He’s clearly out for blood on this tape, and he’s taking the time to express all his range of emotions across the verses he’s rapping on!

Even on tracks like ‘Matthew 7:15’ where he talks about a conversation he had with his daughter about why he carries guns and saying that she will understand when she’s older, it’s these glimpses of personal bars that make all the difference on a Mickey Diamond album! 

Even on the sound ‘When It Rains’ when he talks about his relationship with the Umbrella Collective and talking personal about situations that’s revealing for him. This is soul searching for Mickey as we continue to see him evolve as an artist! 

On this album, he sounds like he has a chip on his shoulder, and he’s using his immaculate chemistry with Ghost to portray his anger, grievances, and frustration with the game and the culture itself. I mean, we are talking about a man who was at the forefront of the underground for almost a decade, and I suppose in that break, a lot could have happened professionally and personally, and on this tape, we are hearing all about it!

He still has his signature rapping style, his deep octaves, his raw/in-your-face performance with his gritty cadence. A confidences he’s built over the years that makes his verses sound better and better with each drop! 

As far as the production goes, we get Big Ghost back on his cinematic, minimally layered production! Similar style to the original ‘Gucci Ghost’ series but this time with a lot more emphasis on grandeur (something I don’t even know was possible with Ghost at this point, but he somehow outdoes himself yet again) with beats that don’t just penetrate the headphones but go through your whole soul and body! Every instrumental feels like an orchestra had made it themselves, and Big Ghost played the role of composter!

Whether we are talking about the opening track -Shepherd’s Pie, where we get that gorgeous, choir-inspired vocal harmony that transitions into this soulful and theatrical take on a boom-bap beat with this secondary subtle vocal loop that’s accompanied by sharp plucked strings in two different layers (guitar and violins) as well as some delicate keys deep into the background! 

Or if you wanted to talk about tracks like -Murda He Wrote, where we hear a snippet homage paid to Notorious BIG with a sample of -10 Crack Commandments, but for the main beat, we have these exquisitely plucked bass strings, high-pitched key progressions, and a super subtle drum pattern that is skeletal but itself acts as a skeleton to the whole track! 

There’s also a light vocal snippet that tunes every 10 seconds to give this a lighter/soulful take on it! 

Even the track -Cry Wolf one of my favourite beats on the record because it brings back that old school, vicious Mickey from the Gucci Ghost days back!

This track is raw enough to rip skin from bone, you’ve got that absolutely ridiculous drum beat that runs through the track as well as these funky as fuck key progressions in two different variations as well as some thick bass and chaotic adlibs that make this track feel like a shot of adrenaline right into the veins!

Man, this duo can’t miss even if they fucking tried. I’ve said this once and I’ll say this again. There will never be a duo that can outshine Big Ghost and Mickey. Is it even a question at this point to ask you all to peep this? If you ain’t itching to press play already then fuck Your life, it’s the umbrella bitch!

(Pay Homage)

Man, this is a duo I didn’t know I needed until now! Two of the dopest in the landscape coming together for one fierce single! If you can guarantee any duo to make fire and respect the game at the same time, it’s these two! So with that in mind, let’s go! 

This is the latest single by MC’s Benny From The Sandlot and The Bad Seed, and produced by S. Dot Beats, and together they drop this ridiculous track that has been bumping my neck the entire duration of the track! So let’s get into why!

First, let’s talk about the instrumental. We have this classical take on the underground hip-hop genre!

You’ve got those powerful string progressions that take over the song in such a lavish way! That’s accompanied by some slick drum patterns and some heavy drums. This feels like the perfect fusion between classical and boom-bap. An execution of both worlds to create this banger! 

This song feels both elegant and raw, a minimally layered track that feels alive. As if there’s a small orchestra behind the two men who are actually alive and playing live music as they go off. It’s that fucking fresh and crisp! Man, whenever either of these men come together, it’s always a BANGER!

Speaking of bangers, we gotta discuss their verses because it ain’t either to out-rap either of these men, and that’s why their chemistry is so rare and deadly! 

We start this track off with Benny, who lays the foundation for the song and the energy that should be maintained! This man brings his trademark sharp lyricism mixed with his rough charisma that makes each word he spits feel like a brick!

Across this track, he’s talking his shit while paying respect to the culture, or rather ‘paying homage’ with his solid bars, his old-school wordplay, and rhyme positions on the song! He ain’t trying to do anything fancy or experimental on the track, just stick to tradition and do the classic style justice! 

The other guy who does this to a tee (and has been for decades) is The Bad Seed. The king of the underground! He’s back on his usual, fuck the word, fuck your life no-nonsense agenda— an agenda he’s perfected and grown over his decades in the business!

He’ll always say the most random yet important shit on a track that you wouldn’t even think to use as a bar.

Like on this song, how he goes ‘Imagine you woke up, didn’t brush your teeth’— that’s the kind of bars he’ll say and make you feel like you’re one of those bum-ass motherfuckers. He has such a hypnotic, aggressive to him, it’s like a bully telling you the facts, and you just accept them as his!

As usual, fluent, hard-hitting flow, incredibly tough wordplay, and raw charisma to match! Every Bad Seed verse is a killer, especially when alongside another tough MC! 

A pairing I knew would be fire based on name alone. A duo rapping over solid production to create one of the strongest singles of the month! Tune in!

(Horror Flick)

Looks like we have another single coming to the culture, by a man who has consistently shown his capabilities and sharp mind to create long-lasting bangers in the minds of the fans, and I have no doubt that this and others across the year will yield the same result! 

So, this is the brand-new single by MC Benny from Sandlot, which has production from S.Dot Beats and features the likes of 

– Stotty P

– Mic Hoffa

– Square 2 God 

And across this track, we are greeted with a greatly haunting instrumental that consists of these eerier piano chords in that rhythmic loop as well as those sharp violin strings! I also notice some methodically paced drum patterns that all wrap up together to create one of the most satisfying instrumentals I’ve heard all year! 

This beat kind of reminds me of a fusion of old-school 2000s underground beats and modern-day boom-bap (just with a horror twist), only a few layers coming together to create a banger beat that I guarantee you won’t be forgetting about anytime soon!

As far as the MC work goes, Benny and company don’t let that instrumental go to waste as they put their best foot forward and drop a collection of incredible verses one after the other in a sharp, badass succession of each other that re enforces to be how dope the landscape of the underground is when you can have this many dope MC’s dropping cold bars on just one track!

Each man drops that heat, I’m taking in your face attitudes, slick charisma mixed with raw energy. Each man has the fluent flows, the ridiculous pen game, and that ruthless power to dominate the track whenever they get on top of it! Murderous intent from all involved combined with extensive vocabulary, vivid imagery, and a dope sense of rhythm and harmony!

It’s as if you went into a haunted house and instead of seeing the normal shit like clowns, werewolves, monsters, you saw a handful of serial killer MC’s who will stab you to death and rap bars over your corpse! That’s the vibe I’m getting across this one!

So, join me on a little haunted ride through a rough beat and a group of men that would put Jason, Freddy, and Michael Myers’s to shame! Let’s fucking go! 

(Return of El Russo)

Looks like we are back with a brand new remix tape! One of the more rare albums I cover, but when they hit, they fucking HIT! This is definitely one of those times, and with an artist of this magnitude, it further pushes that narrative! So let’s talk about it!

This is the brand new (remix) tape by MC Fli Fetti and representing Maison De Funk!, which features brand new production by the likes of: 

– Thelonius Coltrane

– Afyktos

– Kheyzine

– Blaq Medici

– Koba Dera

And with these powerhouse names behind the scenes, you just know you’re in for a dope treat, and that’s EXACTLY what this is 10x fold! 

The first thing I noticed was how cohesive the production went! This shit was fluent as hell; you had a consistent relationship of sounds that complemented the one that came before and after in an infectious blend of influences from: 

– Jazz

– Hip Hop

– Soul

– Classical and more that come together to create an unbelievable score that’s ever so smooth and elegant in its execution!

Every track feels like a miniature piece of orchestra that’s sharpened down, organised, and composed specifically for that one song, as each song feels larger than life and grand in its presentation! Each instrument drawn out to its utmost capacity, each plucked string, jazz horn, delicate key progression, drum pattern— all is so fucking tasteful that it takes over your imagination and puts you in a hypnotic state that I guarantee you won’t be able to cut off right until the very end!

And I mean, considering the talent involved in the remix production, it only makes sense they hit as hard as this. That this level of chemistry is achieved due to their professionalism, experience, and time in the game to understand how to create a strong soundtrack with a cohesive narrative, and that’s exactly what’s done here! 

As far as the MC work goes, these aren’t new tracks, just remixed ones. So it’s taking a spin on already established songs and giving them a revamp! So all your favourite bars and verses that you’ve come to love are amplified and evolved under these new beats, and I gotta admit the performances definitely do pop harder when placed under fresh instrumentals!

It makes his special type of street poetry and in-your-face wordplay hit that extra bit harder, makes his vivid imagery and sharp pen game slice that extra bit sharper! It’s a wonder how a simple change in atmosphere can push an artist’s songs to a new level!

This is a remix album you don’t want to miss out on! It’s fresh, powerful, and crisp. If you thought Fli sounded good before, then you ain’t heard nothing yet!
