(Animal & Hawk)

We are truly blessed to be living in an era where wrestling and hip hop can live so harmoniously with one another, with the last decade being a building block for the trend that has taken the culture by storm, and now we get to add another classic to that list as I present to you 

ANIMAL & HAWK

BRAND NEW album by the notorious Penlordz Fam, Ross, and Audio Messiah! (With Arsinel on the track ‘Mean Gene’ With regular producer Da Grand Hova handling the 12 tracks provided, and as expected (based on the single I reviewed), this is yet again another glimpse into the aggressive side of Penlordz, and I’m all here for it!

It’s important to understand that when an artist or band, whatever you are basing your record off, a concept or theme, you match the production accordingly.

Considering this album is paying homage to the legendary Animal and Hawk, it is crucial that you match that same grotesque, terrifying, and violent nature of the duo they were so famous for, and Da Grand Hova has done this exceptionally!

From that opening interlude with the iconic ‘WHAT A RUSH’ catchphrase and a spoken passage to further hype the audience up! And from there, we get more intense and surreal instrumentation that is synced to the legacy of the Road Warriors.

I’m talking about aspects such as 

– chaotically paced violin

– methodical drums

– deep bass lines

– distorted synths/piano keys

– Minimalistic ambient exterior 

– Blues/Jazz themed chord progressions and more.

The focus being these are all either dark, gritty, or emotionally triggering sounds that make the listener feel a certain way, whether that be somber, adrenaline, or power! Da Grand Hova has constructed a sonic narrative to (even if just for a small moment) peer inside the minds and souls of the Road Warriors, and that is a magical thing!

Let’s get one thing straight. You won’t find a better duo than Audio Messiah and Fam Ross. (Let alone a better trio than Penlordz), but regardless, these two are lyricism personified. If nothing else, their ‘PEN’ are sure to be stuff of ‘LORDS’, and they don’t really have any competition in that area.

It’s scary to realise how much diversity they actually have when they are inherently possessing the spirits of the road warriors and coming across as two of the most savage MC’s in the game.

From their newly formed over-the-top adlibs and vicious sounds, they truly are a reincarnation of Animal and Hawk in rap form, and they utilise the 32 minutes of content in making sure they do justice to the duo! 

I love how ruthless and relentless they sound together! This isn’t the same humble and considerate pair I was discussing earlier this year; this is a new evolution, one based on power, raw skill, and admiration. They understand who and what they are trying to pay homage to, and they ain’t leaving anything to chance; they are releasing every bit of intensity they have inside of them to capture that essence, and it honestly gives me goosebumps how well they do it!

If you’re talking about the Penlordz in any capacity, then their skills as rappers should never be questioned. At this point, it’s about how creative and innovative they can be on new projects and how much further they can evolve from where they are now, and based on this, their ceiling is endless.

With Grand Hova on the cut, they could be looking at a run that is untouchable!

(FLY CREATIVES)

As far as I’m concerned this feels like the final evolution of this MC. I’ve seen his career progress like POKEMON! He started his career (to me anyway) as a naive charmander just putting his name and words out there.

Then as time passed he learnt a bit more and lived more gaining more ‘experience points’ during his battle with the thing we call ‘life’ and in that progress evolved again into a stronger and more adapt charmeleon who was ready to face the industry with a hardened exterior and new moves learnt along the way!

Now we’ve come to the conclusion. The part where he’s achieved his overdue final transformation as the diabolical charizard with breath of fire and wings of liberty he’s now ready for the world and all the adventures and adversaries to come! This is where we are now

FLY CREATIVES

So, this is the brand new EP by MC FLYG and Producer Drew Prince who is an upcoming producer and MC from Detroit who also possess an extensive underground production catalog!

Together they surprise the industry with a fresh collection of 6 tracks and with only 9 minutes of content to work with they didn’t have any room for error and thankfully they not only utilise but reinvent the definition of ‘quality’ on this EP!

Let me ask the readers, you know how in movies there’s always a scene where the main character or main villain will take a line of coke or shot of alcohol then walk into a club and the directors make the music playing in the building the most surreal sounds you’ve ever heard? 

Well this EP is that in a more complex form. This project has a strong disco, funk, jazz and new Jack swing all wrapped up into a 9 minute extravaganza that is sure to impress! All these elements are elevated and manipulated to showcase its best sides!

Also the good thing about this record being so short is that each track feels like a mini shot of adrenaline packed into 6 songs! When you work with such little time frames you have a responsibility as an artist or producer to make sure each track you do have absolutely goes fucking hard! And that’s exactly what happens here! 

There’s no weird break or awkward moment of silence or unfitting beat change. It’s a complete project that flows from each other song in the most synchronous way possible. Each track has its own sonic personality and characteristics that make it original as well as complimenting the EP as a whole! 

That’s not an easy thing to conceptualise and yet Drew Prince does it! Shoutout to him!

Back on it again we have FLYG who I admitted in the opener that he has evolved to what I feel is his ‘most complete form’ and with that being said after re playing this EP a handful of times I remain stunned at his performance.

He’s taking the style of cats like Mickey Diamond or Lil Wayne the one line sharp wordplay and he’s making it in his own image! 

He’s taking these incredible beats and making sure to add a combination of witty and adventurous bars that put a fantastical spin on the record whether that be his pop culture, serious or wrestling references everything he says and performs is fun, creative and original!

For him to make a fucking 9 minute project feel this immersive and beautifully done is really impressive. Each song he presents a fresh outlook and perspective on his flow, rhythm and character as a whole and it absolutely kills!

Overall. Another fantastic effort by FlyG! His growth is quite scary to watch how quickly he’s learning but I’m here for every step! Shoutout to the main man!

(WIGGIE WAVE)

This is a very special day of the year. As was ‘INFINITE WAVE’ and ‘LORD OF THE ZINGZ’. The day has come for the brand new Borirock album. This man has a style unlike any other, and each new release comes with a different theme, style, twist, and presentation, and this specific drop has me more excited than most! Let’s talk about it!

The third Borirock album of 2025, and this time he’s decided to collaborate with BeenOfficalLord. This album features production from the likes of: 

-TREMENDISS

-GRIMM DOZA

-BLUE MASK

-MICHAELANGELO

-MR ROSE

And features the roster of: 

-TOP HOOTER

-???

-al Divino

-Estee Nack

-Dun Dealy

And the reason why this specific drop has got me more excited than most is because I feel it’s a return to his more chaotic and colourful form of music! The era of ‘ZINGCLOPS’ or ‘ZING-DAYA’, and honestly, the more I dive into his discography, those types of records are becoming my favourites!

‘INFINITE WAVE’ and ‘LORD OF THE ZINGZ’ showcased his cinematic and surreal side, especially with legends like Bone Weso and Vinyl Villain behind the beats, making for a more theatrical score. But this time around, we get a more lively, groovy, and funky instrumentals that I feel synchronise with his personality a lot stronger! 

To me, this type of production is like Venom to Eddie. It attaches itself to Bori, and the two of them become one!

This production feels fun, atmospheric, and wild! For example, let’s look at the track ‘GUNBUTT’ that has that absolutely gorgeous jazz sample with those thick bass strings! The speed of the tempo and those freelance jazz notes that appear throughout the track have such an animated and bright notion to it that I can’t help but groove to it!

This reminds me of his track ‘FREAKY FROG’ in the way the beat bounces and has a rhythm of its own! Absolutely incredible.

We can even investigate the track ‘WIG KULTURE’ that has this James Bond villain vibe to it! It’s got these haunting wobbling chords alongside these skeletal drums that make this track feel like a walking, talking fever dream! This is the kind of track you listen to while smoking a fat one and vibing off! 

‘WIGGAVELI’ is another cut that stood out to me by Tremendiss! It’s got these incredibly unique vocal samples that loop across the track with these cinematic deep chords and what sounds like violin strings subtly in the background! 

This definitely feels like ‘ZINGCLOPS’ era production (which I love), it feels larger than life. The actual track feels alive, if Jay-Z can make songs cry then Bori can cast a spell and have them living amongst us!

The final track ‘WIG TRAUMA’ I found to be a surprisingly way to close the record off! Surprising in its heartfelt feel to the sounds. You’ve got these delicate piano keys alongside subtle bass strings and a soft rock style drum pattern all coming together under this somber cocoon that leaves the audience feeling like they’ve just watched the end credits to one of the wildest movies they’ve ever experienced! 

This is all to say that this album (while being a different projection from the other two) is one that reinforces Bori’s wavy nature and it brought me back to his earlier music days and I loved every second of it.

Now onto the rapping parts. This is a first for me because I’m talking about a collaboration album where Bori isn’t rapping alone! When someone has such a high charisma and endless energy as he does you don’t expect to hear him with anyone else (for a full album nonetheless) but this time he’s pairing with BeenOffical Lord who I first discovered on a Mondo Slade album a bit back and now he’s taking centre stage with Bori

I thought these two had great chemistry together! It’s interesting because I’m so use to hearing either ‘FEED THE FAMILY’ or the ‘Minimansion’ crew being the bar for chemistry for Borirock but with this guy he does just a good a job as any at maintaining the high energy levels, directing that unbelievable enthusiasm and passion on the mic and also providing a refreshing contrast so that it doesn’t sound like 2 of the same person on the tracks.

Of course we have Bori who is one of the most animated, lively and outgoing personalities in the rap scene period! Every word comes out colorful and bright while also featuring vivid imagery and street poetry that’s become trademark with his high pitched signature voice!

On the other hand we have BeenOffical who in comparison has a deeper octave, a more rough and no nonsense vibe to his bars and projects a in your face, step on your shoes/direct approach to his wordplay and that’s definitely a great choice for someone to pair with!

Considering the various styles both handle the verses immaculately never an awkward moment in transition and both seem to read each others mind as far as flow and rhythm is concerned which is dope!

The roster of features is obviously insane with the stand out track being ‘WIG KULTURE’ which features 6 people on the one track and all of them dominating the track in their own way!

One thing I found interesting is just like in the case of ‘INFINITE WAVE’ Dun Dealy is used as the feature for the closer track! Not sure if that was intentional or if there’s a pattern with it but either way I found that pretty insightful!

Overall this project is exactly the direction I would have wanted to see from Bori considering his last two albums. As magnificent as they were/are I feel he was due for a more stimulating and buoyant approach to his albums and this one scratches that itch for sure!

As with any of his albums make sure you don’t sleep on it!

(SWAN SONGS)

Alright, story time!!

Earlier this month, I was given the project ‘mixed affective state’ to fuck with and let’s just say I agreed NOT to review it because as far as experimental projects went, I felt this was weak and could be amplified a lot better.

And so, the artist in question went back into the lab and decided to unleash his most ambitious and creatively broken project to date! This is the point we are in now and oh boy, strap in because ain’t nobody ready for this one!

This is the latest album by producer DJ Krooked/Oddity Odyssey with 18 in all and this thing is the definition of MONSTROUS.

Now I’m gonna present this review a bit differently and not give away the sounds and aesthetics of the record but rather describe it in a non-spoiler way for the fans at home to get excited over and pique their interest for a listen themselves!

This thing is a fucking noise-filled juggernaut of a listen. I’m talking absolutely brash, broken, brazen and brutal all in one. It’s an unforgettable listen that will be carved into your memory for the rest of time.

This project feels like the universe gained consciousness and decided to flip you off and project every frustration and emotion specifically to you personally!

Imagine an album where noise comes to die. Where sound itself is swallowed, amplified and enhanced into such a sadistic state that you’re left staring face to face with an entity that’s not human, nor alive, nor dead but existing in dead space waiting for its next victims.

I ain’t exaggerating when I write this either, this record is beyond comprehension. DJ Krooked and his alter ego have finally reached that level of peak insight and knowledge into himself and his deepest, blackest void and used that to create this record.

For people who are fans of projects like Swans, Clipping, Xiu-Xiu, Death Grips and more this would be the project for you! 

It’s unforgiving. It’s an experience that will trap you in its orbit for the duration of the record and FORCE YOU TO STAY, no matter what is going on around you; this will ALWAYS take centre stage. The forces within are too strong to deny, and as mentioned above, once you listen once, you will never be able to forget it.

I test all of you reading this to peep this record out with the link below! Open yourselves up to a lifetime of awakening and consumption of pure organic matter that is aimed straight at your soul!

(LVDTLVHR)

Man, we’re getting a heartfelt track now? Is there anything these two can’t create together? After just listening to one of the smoothest pieces of rap music I’ve ever heard, now we have this vibe? Colour me excited. Let’s talk about it!

This is another single collaboration by MC FLYG and Producer Jazzy Lion Man! The duo that seems to never disappoint and only drop bangers! With larger-than-life sounds and exquisite lyricism, we have the best of both worlds coming together, and that is no different across this one!

This one (opposite to the last single LIONSBREATH) feels a lot more sombre in comparison. It’s got this tragic atmosphere and feel to it with these methodically paced piano chords, somewhat sounds like subtle maracas going off, as well as this very eerie and sad-toned vocal sample on loop.

The whole track feels like a heartfelt jazz ballad. It’s definitely not a sound I’ve heard utilised by Jazzy yet, and it further proves how diverse and creative this man really is!

This beat honestly makes me think of my passed grandma and the times we spent together. It’s the type of track (at least for me) that evokes memories and heavy memories and nostalgia, which is definitely the kind of experience I’d want to feel while I’m at home in bed, not at work haha, but regardless, it’s definitely one of the most heavy and concentrated songs I’ve heard in 2025!

To accompany the track, we have once again FlyG, who this time around sounds more surreal and methodical to match the tone of the track. He once again utilises his newly trademarked lyrical prowess. With a very powerful opening line by going ‘Why did you take that love?’ Again, since my mind is focused on my Nan, that line almost broke me (I saw almost purely because I’m at work and can’t be crying like a bitch here), but if I was at home, yeah, I’d be gone.

He’s decided to empathise his fantastic wordplay with the sad and heartbreaking atmosphere of the song, and pairing emotions with his genius vocabulary, you create an experience that can’t be compared to!

I love how towards the end he just starts slowing down, stops rapping, and just starts talking from his heart and thinking out loud. 

To me, this gives me an idea of his mindset and mental going into the booth. I can imagine that he finished his written or memorised verse, then just sat there while the beat kept going, and his mouth just went on without his control.

Ironically, this kind of motion is what I’m scared of and why I’ve never visited my grandma’s grave. I feel not accepting it is the only thing keeping me from spiralling, and I feel (in a similar fashion) FlyG is just speaking things into existence at the end just to talk and let his heart time to express itself even if just for a few seconds.

Man, I wasn’t expecting to be hit this hard emotionally over this track. If my opinion means anything to you, fucks, just now this track was so powerful it broke even me! If you want to experience raw emotions, then give this a try!

(LIONSBREATH)

My GAWD, why does this duo have to be so fucking smooth? I can’t talk for you guys, but sometimes when I listen to a song or album and it hits you immediately with a certain wave, you can’t help but lay back and mean-mug the world in confusion like ‘DAMN, how are they doing this!’ Well, this is how I feel every time these two combine, and so, we gotta talk about it!

This is the latest collaboration single by MC sensation FLYG and producer Jazzy Lion Man. Both men have been on a crash course this year, releasing consistent and envelope-pushing records that have changed the structure of the underground, and when they come equipped together, it’s nothing short of magic!

Starting with the production. As hard as it might be to believe, this could be the smoothest beat I’ve ever heard from Jazzy! This beat is unreal.

We’ve got those folk-like/ambient chords that sound like I’m walking through the open world of ‘Zelda: Breath of the Wild’. They repeat in a hypnotic and absolutely gorgeous loop that just takes your breath away!

On top of that, we have these jazz-style drum patterns that provide a kick of life and rhythm into the instrumental to complete the whole package.

I think upon writing this, I’m on my 10x re-listen, and each time gives me goosebumps! I almost have to force myself to write this review due to its tranquil effect! Absolutely immaculate in execution and atmosphere!

On this wonderful score, we have FLYG. A man who I feel (based on the over 600+ reviews I’ve done this year alone) has developed most as a lyricist. I remember his earliest work I covered. While it was good, I knew lyrically he could evolve, and when he did, he just exploded, and that’s what we are seeing with this and his last few drops. 

A man who is becoming more and more confident and powerful with his pen game and performance on the tracks. He’s utilising a more vocabulary-heavy structure with plenty of one-liners, puns, and thought-provoking bars that make you pause and think about what was just said.

I love how he officially started his verse ‘There Could Never Be Another Me’ and that sets the tone for the rest of the song. Because yeah, I haven’t heard anyone as solid as he is in the past few months.

His vibe is smooth and slick while remaining sharp and deadly lyrically as well as entertaining and enthusiastic on the tracks! He’s truly the whole package.

This is a duo I could never get sick of and if you’re still sleeping on him, I hope this track gives you fake ass back-packing fucks sleep paralysis! Go check it out

(Victor Charlie)

Man, what a collaboration! Both of these men have had a profound year in 2025, both in their own lane, but if this is a sign of a record coming, this could be the best release by both men so far! Let’s talk about it!

This is the brand-new single by MC powerhouse CRIMEAPPLE and legendary producer VDON, and together they dropped exactly two minutes of straight raw sonic footage that is sure to cancel out 90% of the content out there right now!

Starting with the production, VDON is channeling his eclectic boom bap influences with his no-nonsense, gritty, and muddy instrumental that is sure to leave you mean-mugging the world for at least the next 24 hours! It’s ridiculous. 

You’ve got those intricate, rapid-pace piano keys that are right in the forefront of the beat. Accompanying that, we have these hypnotic drum patterns and a thick bass line so heavy you’ll find it impossible to stay in your seat listening to this one! 

This is the kind of beat you listen to when you want to go out and commit crimes! The type of song that will give you a wave of adrenaline and confidence that no other drug could give you! It’s ruthless, relentless, and above all, memorable!

Alongside VDON, we have CRIME. The man who has turned himself into a household name in the space of a matter of years, and it’s got shit to do with luck but because of his unique and individual style that no one else can touch!

On this track, he showcases his infinite charisma and flawless rhythm that makes his flow and wordplay seem absolutely effortless. 

He’s sharp with street vocabulary so intricate you’ll think you’re listening to poetry while he’s spitting some of the toughest bars you’ve ever heard!

Across the two-minute span, he doesn’t miss a single beat. Every breath lands exactly where it’s supposed to, and he does so in the most efficient and consistent way possible! It almost sounds like

all his thoughts just rhyme instinctively, and he’s not even thinking of bars instead just thinking out loud! 

An absolute phenomenal pairing between two of the greatest in the industry right now, and if this is a taste for a VDON-produced CRIME album, then that will be early Christmas!

(Scarface)

Another exciting day because we get to experience the brand new single by the powerhouse killer himself, Pro Dillinger and FutureWave, and this one is just as hype, if not more so, than his last one! Let’s fucking go!

3 minutes and 15 seconds. This track doesn’t fucking play! This song only just came out, and I’ve already had it on my 5x replay! This shit goes beyond hard!

Talking about the production, we have FutureWave utilise that gritty Daniel Craig James Bond soundtrack vibes! You’ve got those hypnotic chords in a repetitive progression that forces your face into a mean mug while those distorted strings and mesmerising drums hit you in the face harder than Mike Tyson!

Combine that with that thick bass line, and you’ve got a track so deadly it will get you a real-life 5-star GTA rating, forcing you to go out and purge the city! That blood lust, quit your job, and watch the world burn type shit! I mean it, this vibe is absolutely incredible!

Of course, the other key to this puzzle is Pro Dillinger! The man with the notorious lore associated with his name. From Umbrella to Dirthouse, he’s been a titan in this game for years, and he’s forever maintained his cold-blooded, cut-throat, and violent sounds that is the bar to match for all those wannabe hardcore rappers who think they’re tough! He’s the one to decide if you’re real or not!

On this track, he ain’t playing around! As soon as the beat, his first words are ‘I’ll put some money on your head’, that’s how a REAL OG starts a song! No bullshit, fake shit, or wannabe shit, just pure raw bars and cold aura that will scare away all other competitors!

It doesn’t matter how many times I listen to them together, I’ll never get over the chemistry between Pro and Future.

They are a match made in chaos, and they run this shit! It’s as if Future can see his exact thoughts and makes the beat accordingly! 

With Pro sounding more ruthless than I’ve ever heard him and Future sounding more surreal and methodical than I’ve ever seen, this track is yet another highlight into why ‘Dirtwave 3’ is bound to be album of the fucking year!

(No Luv)

The grime lord is back in the building! I’ve lost count of what number album this is for him now, but regardless, with every new release, he’s showcasing a new side of him and doing so in powerful fashion! So let’s talk about it!

Brand new EP by the legend himself, REEK OSAMA! Part of his incredible steamroll run of projects in 2025, and this time around, he’s partnering with producer $AVEME, and together they drop six tracks and 12 minutes of pure, unadulterated energy!

Now let’s start with the production! This time around, I get a more abstract and ambient feel than any other release by Reek this year! For example, you have the track ‘No Luv’, which has this instrumental energy with a beautifully crafted soul sample that’s repeated over gospel organ, violin, and light drums! It’s easily the most subtle I’ve heard Reek use, and that goes into the track 

‘Angel$’, which features these distorted, almost electronic notes. These sci-fi-inspired long chords in different octaves! Alongside these hypnotic drums and synth chords that give this a bit of a ‘Deadmau5’ feel. 

Which I know is weird to reference for an underground rap album, but that’s what it reminds me of, and I love the switch-up in sounds!

But then you have tracks like ‘Nile Green’, which has such a mesmerising beat! It’s hard to pinpoint the influence, but as abstract as this may sound, it reminds me of a ‘Forest Swords’ album, specifically the album ‘Compassion’ in those short, deep chanting aspect vocals with those long and skeletal chords! 

This album has so many versatile elements that I’ve never heard Reek use before that it’s actually left me stumped on how to describe this album. If you’ve never heard any of those artist comparisons I mentioned above, then I draw this album down as ‘Deep, meditative electronic music vibe’ with subtle hip-hop and soul elements.

It’s very different and phenomenal at the same time!

Now onto Reek. The music itself might be switched up, but one man who never does is Reek. He could be wrapping over the ‘Xtreme Dinosaurs’ theme song and still sound the grittiest in the room. He’s always on his boss underworld shit, and performance is as savage as ever!

Instead of sounding awkward over these diverse beats, he reigns over them like the devil controlling gods earth with a sharp eye and a breath of fire! He’s always watching and always ready to smoke any song/verse that comes his way!

Once again, he’s rocking no features in this 12-minute massacre and doing so with cold-hearted precision, sharp lyricism, and wordplay so bloody you’ll be left stained for life. Listening to Reek perform is like walking through the toughest streets at midnight and hoping for the best.

It feels dangerous and raw and the kind of experience you couldn’t hope to forget! Even over this original score, his ruthless presence and overwhelming adlibs on the beats make for a most remarkable and relentless performance!

Once again, a massive W for the Osama. It seems no matter who he’s paired with, he can’t hope to fail! If you want to hear Reek like you’ve NEVER heard him before, then peep this!

(Blood On My Hands)

I’m so hyped to hear that this man is back! The legend himself. After reviewing his last record, which I’ve since categorised as one of my favourite wrestling-themed albums of all time! And now he’s back with 

BLOOD ON MY HANDS

So, this is the latest album by MC Teek Hall and produced by the legendary Cee Gee! Together, they dropped eight tracks with one feature in -G1ToTheRescue, a close associate with Teek!

And I’ll start off by saying this: compared to the other album (3MB), this one feels a lot more of a balanced effort of (Wrestling/Hip Hop). The other one felt like a wrestling album with elements of Hip Hop, while this one feels like a rap album with elements of wrestling. 

So that’s neither a positive nor a negative critic; it’s just an observation! You still have plenty of references and one-liners and phrases, as well as sample snippets of various things, but in no way as far as the other album took it!

The sounds on this record are absolutely beautiful and mastered to perfection (as expected from someone high in calibre as Cee Gee). The music itself is mesmerising, methodical, and surreal all in one!

I’m talking 

-Ambient/Intricate Keys

-Light Drums

-Hypnotic vocal samples

-Synth chords

-Thick Bass lines

-Glossy keys

-90’s style cuts and scratches

It’s in these various elements where Cee works his magic and makes one of the most surreal moments in hip hop this year. The instrumentals are more on the ‘minimalistic’ side compared to a lot of shit coming out lately, but because of the quality of the producer, he’s able to utilise fewer sounds and make more! 

As expected, Cee was able to bring a grand and polished flair to this record that very few other producers could match. This album feels lavish and rich in depth and detail, and it makes for a record I can foresee having tons of replay value to the listener!

Now, onto Teek. As I explained before, he’s toned down on the references a tad, but that doesn’t take away from his dope abilities as an MC, period, and he’s showcasing that across this project!

We get to hear his trademark eccentric personality and energy! His remarkable sense of timing and flexibility across the beats and his effortless approach to rhythm and lyricism across any topic and theme (not just wrestling) makes him a standout MC!

Even when talking about wrestling, he has a way of storytelling where you feel like you’re there in the room with him. You feel yourself transported into the situation he’s describing, and you can picture the events as if they were your own. His natural passion and conviction on the mic make every word he says feel larger than life and more colourful and flavourful than most other rappers in the industry!

I love to hear him go off on a track! He sounds like he’s giving a 2022 MJF Promo! He’s slick, sharp, and ever so cunning with these words while keeping the attention of the audience solely on him for the duration of the mic time! And when he drops the microphone, you can hear a pin drop! 

He’s one of the most underrated and unique MC’s out right now, and to grab the attention of a legend like Cee Gee, it proves the point 10x fold. This man is bold and original, and we need more people like him in the industry! Go fuck with the album!
