(ARIFF)

Man, what an excellent day this is! We get to cover a brand new MC and one who is associated with a producer I couldn’t speak more highly of if I tried, and so with that in my mind, all doubts or worries escaped me as I trusted this man was going to bring the memorable performance I needed to review, and I was RIGHT, let’s talk about it!

This is the brand new album by MC Reef and produced by none other than DeevoDaGenius whose work this year has been nothing but extraordinary! Together they dropped a 10-track project with 28 minutes and the likes of 

-SVMBV

-SeeFour to help run things along in the feature department!

Now, what surprised me the most was the sonic direction of the record. I say that because this is the most deep, ambient, and ambitious take on the beats I’ve heard Deevo do yet! Up until this point, if you had asked me to describe his music, I’d say -lively, colourful, funky, and vibrant. 

But this record flips the switch. We have Deevo take a more grounded and surreal approach with slower beats, passive strings, leisurely drum patterns, and an overall lethargic rhythm that makes me feel like I’m listening to an R&B album from the 2000s in all its immersive nature and all.

For example, we have tracks like ‘CIRCLES’ that engulf the listener with those moody guitar strings, light keys, and drums so intricate it’s hard to focus on them!

You’ve got these beautifully recorded vocal features that remind me of the prime era Chris Brown to give this song that extra level of atmosphere and serenity! 

I legit. Spaced out listening to this. (I’m a sucker for R&B), especially the gems from the 2000s like Chris Brown ‘FAME’ or any Frank Ocean joint, so I was blown away by this track until I realised I had to pay attention for review purposes!

Another track that I fell in love with was ‘DID U HEAR’ the song with another feature. I absolutely adore the soul/funk feel to this record. You’ve got those incredibly sticky and plucked guitar strings with those funk-inspired drums and those delicate jazz notes playing vaguely in the background!

What’s also interesting about this track is that gorgeous vocal loop that takes the breath away! Also, what sounds like a crowd cheering at a live event is included throughout the track. This is a song that feels most like trademark Deevo with so many creative elements!

Also, shoutout to SeeFour for his incredible contributions! 

I wanted to highlight those two tracks most to not spoil the rest but to give a teaser to the listener of the absolute ‘magic’ that Deevo has to offer. He’s a master at his craft and to witness a different side of him and realise he can switch lanes any time he wants is an equally scary and exciting experience to be a part of!

Now onto the newcomer Reef. I honestly completely forgot that this was one produced by Deevo! He did say, but I forgot, but man, best believe I couldn’t have pushed play fast enough! And when I did, I was thoroughly impressed!

What makes me appreciate his style is how he’s able to match the energy of the music and deliver his own brand of introspective, vivid, and surreal performances that have a combination of hip-hop/R&B flavour to it that’s done in perfect balance!

He’ll drop some of the hardest bars you’ve heard in a minute, then drop some smooth vocal harmonies that make you feel like you’re listening to a Bone Thugs record back in the day! Gritty bars meeting harmony in the most luscious way possible!

See, this is how you’re meant to execute this style, even though I fuck with his few earlier joints, fuck Drake. Besides everything else about him, he sacrificed lyricism and pen game for pop music and sell-out territory, but THIS is how you’re meant to do it!

I love how smooth and sharp he is on the tracks, I love how charismatic he is verse to verse and his conviction on the ideas and themes he’s portraying. I love how he’s decided to deliver an alternative take on the underground hip hop scene that’s unlike any other, I love how fresh, innovate and damn right soothing this record is and his voice and performance is a lot to do with that!

Overall, I’m very glad I discovered this record. It’s beautifully crafted, both men involved clicked and their chemistry can be felt clearly as day as well as the impact of the few features involved! 

This is one I don’t want anyone to miss!

(Goro Freestyle)

We have yet another remix track! Man, this year really has been filled with them. This must be my 12th or 13th remix track of the year so far, and they keep getting stronger! This is from a man who released one of the most captivating records of the year and now is taking his time claiming the crown by doing his spin on tracks that, although are already established as far as he’s concerned, haven’t reached their full potential, and he’s going to showcase how it’s meant to be done! Let’s go!

So, this is a 2-minute and 9-second rendition of WSG’s ‘GORO’ produced by Harry Fraud. 

And, this is a song I’ve never heard before prior, which is shocking considering how much I fuck with the man, but it’s a fantastic instrumental! It’s minimal with a smooth and melodic vocal harmony that loops its way around the track, which is trademark for a WSG song experience, and now we have it done by Jhiakana!

It’s no tall order trying to match and compete with the ginormous charisma and aura of someone on the level of WSG, but if anyone can, it’s Jhiakana! And man, does he pull off a masterclass in devastating flurry of bars, wordplay, phrases, and slick pen game and enough energy to keep up with the best of them!

 It sounds like he mashes with the track immaculately. He has the swagger that closely resembles that of WSG himself, he’s methodically paced, brash, confident, and lethal in execution! I love how we can hear him evolve throughout the track like a real-life hero montage of the main character getting stronger and stronger over the training arcs! 

One of my favourite lines is how he mentions both Bruce Banner and Bruce Wayne in the same sentence! Ultimate comic culture references! He has this real smooth and intricate lyrical design over this song, almost in a tongue twister style! So many syllables and lyrics all rolled into one spectacular verse that had me on the edge of my seat throughout the whole track!

Overall, another phenomenal re imagining by J himself. I can’t wait to hear new music from the man, but these are holding me good until those arrive! Make sure you check it out ASAP!

(The Missing Notes)

Once again, we are back with what feels like the most competitive brotherly battle in the game as we speak. That being ‘P-Ro Vs G-Fam Black’, who can beat who with month-to-month drops? 

I’ve tried my best to review each man’s drops as they come every month, and it’s been a blast! Both men have released countless ‘AOTY’ contenders, and neither has missed the mark yet, and it seems the luck continues on this album as well! Let’s get into it!

This is the September drop by MC P-Ro, and this time producing is KNG Bondalero, who has been on a run of his own this year as well! Together, they drop ten tracks with features from

-G-Fam Black

-James Mitchell

-KNG Bondalero

-Tali Rodriguez

-Blazewun

A lot of the same expected names on this project as the last handful, and for obvious reasons! (If it’s not broken, don’t fix it), the chemistry is there, so why bother?

Across this album, I feel we are hearing P-Ro in his final stretches, high confidence phase of the marathon! Of course, he’ll never lose or misplace his sharpened skills and abilities, but compared to the ones that came before, I hear more bragging and flexing in his tones than normal (and for good reason).

He’s been out working everyone in the game right now. Everyone wants to ride Boldy’s dick for his consistency when most of the time he sounds the same dragging voice and production across his records!

While P-Ro every month is redefining himself, trying to bring a new sound, different producers, and a fresh structure to his discography for 2025, and people don’t even give a look twice! Well, this time he ain’t coming in humble, he’s here for bodies! 

Across this 30 minutes, he’s combining raw skill and deadly pen game with a borderline cocky demeanour that is used to drill into the audience and any haters ‘I’m the one doing laps around the field, ya’ll are still taking water breaks’, and it’s sweet to hear!

I love to hear this man destroy you on the mic and then mock you for being so ass in the first place. No point being humble if the world doesn’t appreciate the effort you’re putting in anyway, so fuck it, tear the culture a new one, and that’s exactly what he’s doing on this record!

Same relentless flow and intensity. Same brilliant technique and flow, and still the same trademark aggressive delivery and cadence that makes him such a captivating player to begin with!

As mentioned above, he’s back with his regular crew who, like clockwork at this point, sync with him as if they all share one brain, all the same thoughts, and as they always have, help elevate the emotions and enthusiasm of the overall record!

As far as KNG is concerned! He’s bringing his famous larger-than-life cinema-tics to the centre stage with this one! Whenever he’s in charge of production, it makes you feel like you’re experiencing a film score that is surreal and high-end in nature! 

Like the track ‘Everywhere’, for example. It has those grand, waving chords, sci-fi notes in the background, and heavy drums with plucked strings! This is the type of music I’d expect to hear in a Tarantino or Guy Ritchie film! It’s intense and thrilling!

Or what about the track ‘Kick Rocks’, which sounds straight out of a B-side horror movie turned into rap!

You’ve got those haunting keys in a hypnotic, repetitive motion! Alongside some groovy, what sounds like manipulated keyboard, sounded in a more ambient atmosphere! 

This is what I’d expect werewolves would listen to at midnight if they fucked with hip-hop!

Then on tracks like ‘Do Not Disturb’, we have KNG going back to his traditional, no-nonsense approach to the beat with a swaying loop and some minimalistic drums! Going back to the old-school style, no fancy shit or gimmicks, just straight, raw underground hip-hop.

I love the fact P-Ro chose this man for the production because, just like himself, he hasn’t missed either, and together they proved just how monstrous they can be! 

Make sure you don’t fuck around and sleep on this album!

(6000ROUNDZ)

Man, how blessed that we would get a new track by this dynamic duo on my 31st birthday for a record set to drop on the 30th? That’s some crazy shit and even more reason to hook up this review and experience the magic that 

6000ROUNDZ

This is the brand new single by MC ERG ONE and Producer Bone Weso. After reviewing their first single off the upcoming album, I was left itching for more and left impatient as ever for the new record! 

Now we get not only 2 minutes and 51 seconds of new music but a stunningly shot music video to go with! So let’s talk about it!

Starting with the production, we have Bone Weso bringing back that classic 90’s era cinematic sounds that we all grew up with! 

I’m talking those intricate piano keys, those thudding drums, and thick bass lines that vibrate your whole body.

There’s also deep in the background of the song what sounds like tribal chanting, like Native Americans sitting by a bonfire doing a spiritual ritual dance, which I found quite interesting!

It symbolises Bone’s core creative nature to a tee. Although he’s decided to inherit the gritty, hardcore nature of the 90’s East Coast scene reminiscent of legends such as

– Wu-Tang Clan

– Mobb Deep

– Onyx 

But at Snake Time, adding that vocal snippet is his way of keeping things interesting and fresh, putting his own spin on an already established sound and style! At least that’s how I took it!

As far as the MC work goes, if it wasn’t obvious from the years of working together on various songs or from the previous single for this album that they had flawless chemistry, well, it can’t be denied now!

Because, somehow ERG sounds more high-end and confident than he did a mere week ago! His upper echelon aura is rising by the day, and he’s starting to sound like the don of this underground rap shit, and he knows it!

As usual, he brings his trademark precise wordplay that hits on all cylinders! His bombastic approach and energy to his verses, combined with his expertly lethal street poetry, can match anyone in the game and then some!

I love just how goddamn fluent and natural he sounds on the mic; even using the word ‘effortless’ is too much of an understatement for a rapper of his calibre. You can tell he was BORN to do this shit; his mind operates on that next level, and his skills prove it!

If I had a genie with three wishes available to me right now as a birthday gift, I would legitimately (swear on my life) use one wish to listen to this album early! Anything Bone touches is a guaranteed classic, and with someone of ERG’s natural-born talent on the scene, this has the potential to bag ‘AOTY’ position!

(WCBT)

Well, I gotta admit this wasn’t an artist I was expecting to hear on a remix. A man who I’ve never liked or listened to, but if he’s choosing the beat to rap over, I can guarantee two things.

  1. He’s going to out-rap Gunna on any given day or night. So this will be the first time he wins without ever guessing. 
  2. If he chooses the beat, at very least the instrumental will be fire.

And on both accounts, I was right. Let’s talk about it!

This is the brand-new NARCOMIX track by Gustavo. The man who has spent the last few months investing in these alternate universe beat match-ups and doing underground re imagining and it’s been a hell of a ride with remixes of 

-WSG

-Freddie Gibbs

-Earl Sweatshirt, and now we have Gunna. 

This track is very smooth with a slight trap influence with those high hats and thudding drums. A beat that, given to the right artist, will be amazing, and definitely this time around, the better artist has collected it!

As usual, from the opening second, Gustavo goes in and wastes no time to dominate the beat with his brand of eccentric charisma, unpredictable movements, and uncanny flow that is solely his.

He lays down verbal barrages with clever puns, witty phrases, cultural references, sexual lines, and more!

He’s literally throwing everything on this track like a rapper possessed and trying to do right by this beat that has so obviously done wrong by the original owner!

This is a few minutes of concrete, devastating, and entertaining bars and verses that come off ever so naturally to a MC of his calibre! What I always love about his tracks is that you can hear his passion and enthusiasm in every single word and breath he takes on the track; he’s got the energy of a kid discovering his latest hobby but with the skill of a hip-hop veteran! It’s a fantastic combination!

Overall, another adaptation and flawless in execution, and there’s no doubt in my mind (nor should there be in anyone else’s) that this is the superior version as he could out-rap

Gunna in his sleep, while suffering from food poisoning while in a coma with COVID!

(Long Distance)

This album has been a work in the making. Being made aware of it a few weeks ago now, trying to find the best time and place to review it, and this is one of those days, it’s time to talk about one of the most underrated gems of September! Let’s talk about it!

This is the brand-new album by MC ILLAH (May he R.I.P) and it guts me to know I didn’t check this out earlier, produced by Dan Akill, and together they drop a ten-track project with no features, just 28 minutes of pure rhyming at its finest!

Let’s talk about the production first! Dan has been one of those names that landed under the radar due to the sheer volume of content coming out this year, but one that has surprised me and a lot of others with his crisp and dominant production style that is ‘Underground’ to a tee!

Let’s look at beats like ‘Crab Mentality’, where we hear Dan execute this spacey and hypnotic instrumental featuring high-pitched keys, sharp what sounds like fast-paced violin in snippets alongside some echoing and heavy thudded drum patterns!

This is the kind of beat that makes you think about life and let your mind wonder! A beautiful combination of raw and gritty underground hip hop mixed with classical and surreal moments!

Speaking of surreal, we have the beat ‘Pink Pantha’, which features a more subtle and eerie notion with these haunting strings that loop in the background with some vocal humming right alongside it and some cinematic strings that appear for a few seconds and overdose the senses!

I love this beat because it sounds ‘larger than life’ and atmospheric, and those types of styles are my favourites!

All this to say that Dan has once again dived into his classic bag of tricks and pulled out another Stella performance that has both ‘finesse’ and ‘street credit’ associated with it, the perfect balance!

Speaking of perfect balance, we have ILLAH. This man has invented his own lane entirely! As he said on the track ‘Not Even Close’, ‘These guys aren’t on my level, not even close’, and he ain’t lying!

What makes him so unique is that it seems (based on this record) that he can activate any style, rhythm, and form on the mic that’s needed depending on the production, can morph, and become the type of MC he’s needed to be!

For example, on the track ‘GoodGrief’, we hear him deliver a more traditional, 90’s-inspired bar/verse ratio with no breaks in his style, crisp pen game, and strong aura with fluent flow!

Then, on the track ‘Pink Pantha’, he has a more methodical and surreal type of rhythm as he’s trying to match that haunting beat! He sounds more deliberate and dangerous! 

Then, even on the track ‘Not Even Close’, it sounds like he’s in his flexing mode. A choppier verse delivery system to suit that funky, plucked string instrumental and provide a more ‘egocentric’ performance where he’s putting the game on lock! 

In showcasing his ability to transform and drive in all lanes, he’s proving his worth as a skilled rapper in all areas, and that’s a phenomenal advantage! I also love how he decided to have no features this time around to further prove his dominance in this game!

Overall, this is an album that I hope doesn’t get lost in the cycle of unlimited releases and gets the respect it deserves!

Shoutout to TONY TRANG on the cuts and SAUCEY PASTA for the cover!

(AU VOLUME ONE)

Going into this EP, I can honestly say I didn’t know what to expect. This was a new artist reaching out, and with no prior information or background, I was excited to see what was lying in store for me. What did I think? Let’s talk about it!

This is the brand-new EP release by MC AU, featuring producers such as

-Ghowste 

-sp1tone

-Bailey Daniel, and with these three names, AU dropped some of the most infectious and smooth rap songs I’ve heard in a minute!

So, the opening track ‘H.T.T.H’ has a beautiful combination of jazz/classical and hip-hop. You’ve got those intricate piano keys, heavy bass, luscious horns, and funk-inspired drums! 

This kind of instrumental reminds me of ‘A Tribe Called Quest’ in its genre fusion brilliance!

Track 2 ‘SURVIVAL’ has a more ambient, lo-fi, heavy inspiration to it with drowned instrumentation that feels heavy and thick in the air!

You’ve got these manipulated/distorted piano keys, even heavier bass than the last song! And an overall thick atmosphere that you feel like you can cut with a knife!

Also, I love how towards the end of the track, you have this little skit that breaks the heaviness quite nicely!

With track 3 ‘SOUL’, which is approximately named because this track has the most soul influence across all the beats so far! You’ve got these smooth and subtle vocal harmonies that are just loud enough to be heard but not loud enough to overwhelm the track! 

Then you’ve got those infectious bass strings with a loop so funky you can’t help but nod your head too!

I also love those jazz-inspired keys and drums. Reminds me of some early career Herbie Hancock in his more experimental years with colourful instruments and flavours!

Speaking of that. We have the fourth and final track! ‘PSP’. Talk about colourful and vibrant flavours because this has that in spades!

This song has some high-pitched what sounds like distorted bird chirps to open the track, then we have some heavy bass lines that felt like they’ve been amplified by 100x on this song! 

As well as that, we have some plucked strings and towards the end, some more ambient/noise-feeling parts that remind me of Clipping or Death Grips! 

Overall, the production is very diverse and satisfying to the ears! I love projects that expand and try new things, and this is definitely one of those situations!

As far as AU goes on these said beats, he’s an absolute monster! He has this ‘old school’ charisma and energy to him that has me thinking of artists in the late 90s or early 2000s! 

He’s precise with his wordplay, his flow doesn’t miss, and he’s fluent as ever. His words have a classic era feel to them that I like! These days, artists love to experiment and attempt to switch up how flows can work, and while I appreciate the boundary-pushing mindset (and love some of the attempts), it’s also refreshing when an MC like this keeps the formula routine/inspired by the golden era artists, which I love!

He also impressed me with his vocabulary and expansion of words! He wasn’t out there spitting the same type of sentences or phrases; he was pushing himself to tell short stories within his bars and using his introspective social commentary to paint a golden picture to the audience that I personally appreciated! 

Although the project was only eight minutes, his utilisation of the rhythm and his execution of his verses made it feel a lot longer with loads of depth and originality, not to mention enthusiasm and conviction in his style!

I didn’t know what to expect, but he really surprised me! It was funky, memorable, and dope on all fronts! Definitely worth checking out!

(GodplexX)

In the words of Kevin Hart on the JRE podcast when talking about Mike Tyson, ‘He was like a pitbull off a leash with no owner, whose fucking dog is this man?’

In those exact words, I feel about this producer right here, and here’s why. When I reviewed his first few projects earlier in the year, I was no doubt impressed but didn’t know where he would go from there.

Then mid-year comes with releases like ‘10,000 Hours’, and I started to see an evolution I wasn’t expecting and dug with every fibre of my being, but I started to get a small idea of where he would be by the end of the year.

Then THIS COMES OUT, and I’m back to being left  dazed and confused. He has come out like Bane, injecting the venom and has broken free of his cage, and we now have an absolute version of this man working on a record with a pair of killers, and they ain’t no League of Assassins, but they’re letting the game know, they’re here to MASSACRE!

This is the brand-new album by Producer Hi-Q! Accompanied by MC’s Dtaylz, The Profit, and Gamblez Tha Lucky Bastard, and together they drop a ruthless 10 tracks with one feature in -Knownaz EVIL, and I’m not kidding when I say this project is MURDEROUS.

We gotta start with that production because to say Hi-Q surprised me on this would be the biggest understatement of the year! He has come back more animalistic and rough and rugged than I could have ever dreamed him to be! 

He’s decided in order to create another ‘AOTY’ contender, he had to dig deeper than he’s ever got in his life and make the kind of music robbers pump while putting on the masks! The type of music that penetrates your bones and spikes your blood, making you feel invincible! 

Just that intro track alone, holy shit, that combination of that movie clip and that absolutely disgusting beat that turns your insides backwards and forces your inner demon to surface as you end up in a permanent mean mug to the world that ceases to leave even hours after listening to the album!

The whole record is ruthless, cunning, muddy, sharp, unforgiving, and diabolical in every sense of the word. He’s giving the middle finger to the world and leaving all his humanity behind with this record! It’s absolutely ridiculous!

If I had to choose a personal favourite (gun to my head) because they are all incredibly dangerous, I’d have to say ‘Kill Count’ because it has that metal influence with those sharp guitar strings, thick bass, and heavy drums that you can feel in your brain! 

This song feels like hatred in sonic form, and after listening to it, I actually felt my mood become more aggressive (doesn’t help I’m listening to this on my lunch breaks), but this has me feeling like it was inspired by bands like ‘Body Count’, and it’s perfect!

If we see Hi evolve any further come December, we are going to get an entity that no one will be able to contain!

Now, to talk about the devils on each of his shoulders doing his bidding on the microphone, they were more than capable of keeping that high energy and dark matter! You couldn’t ask for a more chaotic duo than these two, keeping the mayhem and overall power of the album that gives the listener goosebumps with each word they sprayed onto the album!

Each man had perfect chemistry with the other and spit grim, touchy, and rigid street poetry that was so vivid in execution that you felt like a hopeless bystander teleported into the situations they were describing, and that level of imagery was on a whole new level! 

They never let up even once! The whole 30 minutes was filled with just pure, unadulterated hardcore lyricism with a sharp pen game and a flow so heavy and surreal that it felt like ghetto story time being narrated by a pair of villains in the back of a heist van as a side quest right before arriving at the bank! 

I’m not joking. This record is beyond phenomenal! It’s so engaging and raw that it makes most other records pale in comparison. Go listen to this album (if you dare).

(Time Is Money)

Well, it’s definitely been a minute since I last covered this man! 2nd of August to be exact! When he dropped his other single ‘Find Me’ and since then I’ve been curious what his career would show and now we get to see! Another killer single with the same producer behind him to create another banger!

We are back with another hit song from MC Nero bringing with him the featured guest King Bone and bringing back CAOS on the beat and this is yet another one of those singles that is catchy as hell and perfect for the clubs and radio! Has a lot more of a ‘mainstream’ sound than most underground tracks but if done well then it can pop off and this one definitely does!

This beat has a hypnotic drum beat, a beautiful vocal snippet ever so subtly in the background as well as some deliciously plucked strings and this all comes together to create an instrumental that sounds ripped from the golden 2000’s when artists like early Kanye, Common, Twista all took over the scene with their takes on the harmonic and soul-filled gems that stay in our hearts and minds forever!

His last single had more adrenaline-filled energy behind it while this is more mellow and I love the distinction because it proves diversity!

Speaking of diverse we have as mentioned above a new voice on this track in ‘King Bone’ who lights him up with deadly killer croc energy that’s both raw and pure at the same time!

I observe his no-nonsense attitude combined with his sharp tongue and lyrical abilities that make him a force to be reckoned with!

A lot of the same can be said about Nero! He comes in bars spinning, ready to take out all the haters with his cunning charisma, his eccentric flow and originality and his confident charm and demeanour that makes every bar of his feel like a ray of persistent sun shine beaming on the listeners!

Combine that with the ridiculousness of the beat and the extra pressure of the guest verse and you have a recipe for a man who is putting his best foot forward across this track and does so with EASE! 

Another killer track by all involved! If these are all leading to one specific album, it’s going to be a BANGER!

(Voguing -KhaliTheKing Diss)

Well, this is definitely a first. Me reviewing a diss track? Hell, it ain’t gonna detract me from the write-up, and as far as I’m concerned, just adding it to my collection of achievements for my website. And so, with that said, let’s talk about it!

This is the brand-new single by MC Concept, produced by Apbeatz, and together they drop this two-minute blast on the man, and it’s smooth as hell, I can’t lie!

The production is a soothing R&B/Soul feel to it! You’ve got those melodic synth chords, light drums, and this subtle sound in the background that sounds like either a vocal cord or a synth-inspired chord strung high! 

There’s also some thick bass lines, and all this combined sounds like a beat you’d expect to hear Anderson Paak rap on! It’s chill and atmospheric in nature, which is ironic considering what the topic is about!

As I mentioned above, this is a diss track. And considering I don’t know anything about the man, I can only comment on Concept’s part, and as he has this whole time, he’s (just like the beat) smooth as hell in execution! 

From the moment the beat hits, he’s delivering everything from catchy choruses, swagger-filled delivery, fluent flow, sharp lyricism, and more personalised lyrics than normal to accompany the nature of the track.

This feels more like a warning shot track. A track to say ‘if you want to start this, I’m ready’ type feel. Again, I know nothing about the other guy. Will I be instigating the underground’s new biggest rap beef by writing this? Who knows.

What I do know is that Concept is my man, and by association, I’d never shit-talk him to anyone, so by default, I’m gonna support this man and say that this is a memorable and catchy diss track that is sure to make waves!

Let’s all listen to this track and see what happens next! Don’t miss out!
