(INNER CITY BLUES 2) IN MEMORY OF FREDDIE GRAY

YOU ALREADY KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS! It’s a new review by that solid duo. The one that has been making waves across the underground and making an impact unlike many others! After reading already a handful of their projects, I feel the rush of adrenaline surge through me as I cover a new project I haven’t heard yet, like caffeine straight to the veins! With that in mind, LET’S GET TO IT!

 So, this is the 1st of August drop by dynamic titans MC ZELL and Producer Dev Rodgers dropping another nine tracks with just under 20 minutes of content, and this one is a stark contrast to the one I did previously!

While the other one was the dark and depraved older brother of Boom Bap, this one feels like the soulful, angelic, and innocent sister who brings the harmony and love into every song! Let me explain!

So, this whole project is beautifully crafted, melodic soul, and ambient vibes with those luscious chords, slow, methodical piano keys, lavish vocal harmonies, and drums so soothing you’ll feel like you’re listening to a Norah Jones record! Absolutely gorgeous. 

This makes me realise (as I often forget) that Dev can literally do any style he puts his mind to. He has no ceiling to reach; he just does whatever suits him on any given project, and that’s what makes him a rare cat!

These beats feel like later discography Mac Miller in all its divinity and beauty, the kind of production you could fall asleep to in a peaceful sleep and wake up feeling refreshed! (Something I had to often remind myself not to do for review’s sake) but nonetheless an absolutely engaging and fantastic experience from the man with no weakness in his field!

Now on to ZELL. I have to say he really surprised me this time around, after hearing the track ‘TESTIMONY’ where he (in his trademark bold tone) talks about the contrast towards people digging in bins for food and people complaining about minimum wage and putting shit into perspective!

I’ve never heard such an aware and deeply personal song from him before. For all intents and purposes, I’ve heard he’s a man with a golden heart, but this is the first time I’m hearing it in a song!

When it comes to the rest of the record, he brings his famous eccentric and powerful vocals combined with his sharp pen game and dominating flow that can be felt from five blocks away! 

Especially across these beats, his aggressive charisma and cadence provide a refreshing touch! Kind of like getting into a cold pool on a scorching hot day! Or eating something hot on a freezing day! 

That instant hit of relief or comfort in having the extreme opposite is how this album feels! It’s infectious in every kind of way!

Once again, they haven’t missed ONCE. Nothing but strong vocals and strong production to make this, I think, 5-0 now? I lost count, but not a L in sight!

(Success II Society)

Talk about an EXCITING DAY! It’s been easily a few months since I last covered this man on an older record nonetheless, and now I get the opportunity to review a brand new album by one of the strongest lyricists in the underground! Let’s talk about it!

This is the brand new album by MC Jamal Gasol and features the producers of 

-Vanderslice

-Cedar Law$

-The StandOuts

-Sonny Carson

-P.A. Dre

-AKOUSTICFUNKBOT

-Baritone Brown

-Kool Majors

And MC’s

-Kelzkillher

-Toney Boi

And fuck, I don’t know what I was expecting, but it wasn’t this! This shit is INCREDIBLE! I have to start with the production because at first I was worried when I saw such a long list of names (I’ve always gravitated more towards single producer/single artist formula), but in this case, this wide range of beat makers makes for a compelling and sound wheel of influences that never leaves a boring moment!

For example, that opening track ‘Respectfully’ has this incredibly chilling boom bap sound by Vanderslice. With those methodically paced keys, surreal drums, and heavy bass thick enough to knock your socks off!

This beat screams East Coast Hardcore vibes, and I love it! 

Also, love how Jamal adds the word ‘Respectfully’ every few bars! It’s a nice addition to the track!

But to my surprise, as soon as the next song played ‘Life Is A Gamble’ by Cedar Law$, we hear one of the most beautifully crafted soul-sampled tracks I’ve EVER heard in the game!

We have those funky horns in the forefront, alongside those plucked strings and smooth drum beats that melt your mind and body at the same time! 

There’s also some relaxing what sounds like sharp violin in the background, helping the track reach its climax! To say this instrumental is infectious would be a massive understatement! 

Also, another track I fuck with heavily is ‘Little Money’ by Producer AKOUSTICFUNKBOT’ because similar to the second track, it has a heavy, funk/soul vibe to it that I fell in love with! With those dreamy long keys, plucked strings, short notes synth chords, as well as an absolutely gorgeous vocal harmony to make this track angelic as fuck! 

All this to say that, even though multiple heads in the kitchen can sometimes cause chaos, today they found that sweet spot of arrangements and harmony that is rarely found in a situation like this! Nothing but respect to everyone involved!

Now onto Jamal. As I said, he’s one of the most underrated MC’s in the culture right now as he’s a man who makes sure all his verses feel larger than life and grand in execution. It’s less like he’s spitting ‘bars’ more than he is spitting sermons that activate the brain and soul!

On this project, he’s got powerful words and eccentric charisma! His flow is equal parts sharp and melodic in his own style. It’s like his pen game is quick slashes to the throat too quick for anyone to notice before it’s too late.

Nothing explosive or heavy, just slick and deadly force from the pen of a master! I love how vivid he can make his imagery when he wants to or how down to earth and no nonsense he can execute it in the same breath depending on his mood!

The main thing to take away from his style is that he’s always calm, composed, and in his element on the production! Never one to feel awkward or uncomfortable, never hearing him screw up or make a track that doesn’t feel completely flawless because he’s a MC who’s always going to take control and make the music he wants!

I found myself immersed in this project from the very end! No filler tracks, just banger after banger, and I hope more people can hear this incredible chemistry between producers and rappers! Check this out now! Shoutout to all the features involved!

(Strive For More)

After the amount of singles I’ve heard so far, it only confirms one thing. This record in its entirety is going to absolutely BLOW UP THE CULTURE, in a way I’m not sure many albums will! 

I’ve heard nothing but praise and quality work from these two and this latest single only re-confirms the level of mastery on display here, so without any more discussion, let’s talk about it!

This is the brand new single by the combined efforts of MC Agallah The Don & Producer Blaq Medici who, as mentioned above, have been teasing a record that is ridiculously banging in all areas and this single might just be the cherry on top!

Firstly, we gotta discuss that production! Once again we see Blaq diving into his more surreal and methodically paced atmospheric sounds that make your soul dance with internal goosebumps!

The track starts off with those delicate piano keys that transform into a jazz-infused 80’s vibe track that has funky bass and rock and roll-style drums! 

What really blows this track up for me is how they incorporate these gorgeous freelance jazz horns that take over the song as the MVP element! As if the track wasn’t already banging without it, but this jazz solo tips it over the edge and forces the mind and ears to experience ultimate euphoria! 

I can’t tell you how many times I replayed this track in nervous excitement waiting for that jazz part to come back! Made my hairs stand up every time it returned, the track itself is masterfully done but that one part just hits me harder than most!

Now onto the MC work. We have Agallah once again proving why he’s the Don. He doesn’t rap verses, he speaks success into existence! Once again he showcases his powerful vocal style, his ruthless charisma and earthquake-level flow that shakes with every breath taken! 

What’s scary is, not only does he have this dominating personality, but he’s also an exceptional MC who can paint the most vivid imagery that’s equal parts tough and beautifully written! He has a wide vocabulary and a great sense of timing, precise bars, and a pen game so strong it feels like the audio equivalent of the yakuza coming for your head!

I can’t stress enough the chemistry between these two. This could be the finest example of a pair so smooth and with perfect synchronicity that it puts all other pairings to shame! They share one mind, one musical soul, and together they will most probably release ‘AOTY’. 

Check in to this single TODAY! And feel the excitement!

(VICTORY SIGAR)

You know, there’s nothing quite like the feeling of going through a dope artist’s discography and finding older gems that you may never have come across otherwise! This is one of those occasions. After dropping one of the dopest albums of last year and talking to this man regularly on socials I’ve developed a friendship with the man behind the role of ‘MC’ and now I get the chance to see what he brought to the table in the year prior to his ‘Kensei’ drop and so with that in mind let’s get into it!

This is the 2023 album by MC Weapon E.S.P and Producer Mr Rose! A man who I haven’t covered in a minute but once whose reputation definitely precedes him! A man with a production style unlike any other associating himself with the frequent acts of 

-Estee Nack and Al Divino he’s become part of the culture one way or the other and now we get to hear how he handles a Weapon’s album (spoiler alert) he KILLS IT!

From the very first track I could hear Mr Rose’s trademark combination of Gritty Splash Boom Bap and manipulated Jazz notes to create a sensational atmosphere that only HE could pull of!

I’m talking distorted plucked strings, thudding drum patterns, intricate keys and unpredictable chord progressions that never follow the usual rhythms to give the listener that sense of ‘unpredictability’ and ‘excitement’

He’s able to take some of the most beautiful inspirations and turn them muddy and infectious at the same time. By taking a small handful of elements per song and turning them distorted, experimental and noise inspired he creates an original sound that no one can has been able to replicate!

If I had to choose a favourite track off this album it would have to be track 6 ‘SMOKEEXCELLENCE’ I love this track because it has a heavy Jazz feel with those horns being the centre of the song accompanied by heavy bass and slick drums! It’s so minimalistic and yet so groovy st the same time!

I’ll never get tired of hearing Rose on production because he creates refreshing instrumentals that never follow anyone else’s lane but his own! The definition of an ARTIST.

On to the MC. Of course as I expected Weapon upped his game on this record and it shows! As good and conceptual as he came across in his Kensei record on this one he just sounds straight savage, no nonsense, raw bars to match the ever muddy instrumentals by Rose!

This version of Weapon has to be one of my favourites! As much as I love when he’s on his story telling vibes, his ruthless demeanour over boom Bap makes his stand out as a juggernaut in the underground scene!

He doesn’t stop for a second across this project, bars after bars, clever puns, wordplay and phrases, slick flow impressive vocabulary and a swagger to match! 

When he’s in this mode I can’t imagine anyone that could stop him! He’s on his grind and he’s moving 100 miles an hour!

On this track, he is accompanied by long time collaborator and brother -GHOSTOFTHEMACHINE and their chemistry is well known and so of course they absolutely kill it! he also has a fantastic working with this kind of production!

Overall, this was a fantastic throwback album that I wish I had discovered sooner! It’s fresh, raw and masterfully crafted by all parties involved!

(Jestures)

I’ll be honest with you. There is a very small amount of artists out there in Hip Hop that I’d be happily willing to listen to a one-hour and 11-minute project, and this duo is definitely one of them! They age like a fine wine and have only gotten better with age, so let’s talk about it!

This is the brand-new release by the legendary duo featuring MC Slug and Producer Ant. With their first album dropping in 1997! They have literally been making music for almost 30 years, and that’s an incredible feat all on its own! With this new album, we have a whopping 26 songs and the likes of 

– Evidence

– Haphduzn

– Curious

– Mike The Martyr 

– Musab

– Muja Messiah

– WHY?

– Zoodeville 

on the roster to help push this album into incredible new heights, and I can’t even front this project was and is unbelievable!

Starting with the production side of things, I don’t know what Ant took to make the music on this album, but it sounds so blissful, nostalgic, heartfelt, and deep in ways no other producer has been able to fit before! I’m hearing combinations of 

– Soul

– Synth

– Funk

– Jazz

– Old School Hip Hop

– Ambient and more! The way he’s able to combine so many different inspirations and elements into one record is ridiculous. I know he’s been doing this for close to 3 decades, but no matter how often he drops, he never sounds stale or overdone. 

He’s always finding new ways to impress and stun! For example, the track ‘Caddy’ where we hear that almost ‘Tribe Called Quest’ call back with that soft Jazz instrumentation with that funky bass and old-school scratches and cuts! 

Or even the track ‘Effortless’ which takes a more heartfelt direction with a throwback to the 80’s Synth Pop sound with those wavy synth chords, hard-hitting drums, and cold chords! 

This one puts you into your feelings and makes you reminisce about the good old days! Not to mention that flawless feature verse by Evidence! 

Or if we look at the track ‘Heavy Lifting’ which utilises that smooth soul sample mixed with a classical vibe with those violin strings and those delicate piano keys but combined with those high-pitch vocals and thick bass lines! 

This is one of those intricate beats that feels high class and prestigious! 

Point is, Ant with all his experience to use has found a way to always keep the crowd entertained and full of love, life, and passion with a range of interesting and refreshing inspirations and choices to keep you on the edge of your seat with every song!

Now, come on. What can I say about the legend Slug that others haven’t? To say he’s a GOAT is just common knowledge in this day and age, and the fact he hasn’t watered down or become mid in all these years is actually a phenomenal feat, and that same level of surprise is in this album because he somehow sounds better than I’ve ever heard him!

He’s embraced his life and experience to create the perfect verses that feature his trademark social commentary, introspective view on life, and his quirky and personal stories about anything from describing his first ever car to calling out ‘assholes’ to how people treat him like a ‘baby’. 

I love Slug because he doesn’t think or act like anyone else before or after. He’s in his own lane in the way he writes and performs his rhymes. It’s as if he has an endless supply of ideas and thoughts, perspectives, and opinions that just happen to rhyme.

He never sounds like an MC more than he does a man fascinated with life and has the desire to record his every thought over beats. A modern-day Socrates over hip-hop production, and this album further pushes that theory!

Of course, smooth flow, flawless pen game, and a charisma he’s been growing for decades to the point no one can ever hope to match!

Somehow, for the whole length of the record, I was never bored or drained. This didn’t drag at all! I found myself completely entertained and deeply interested in the verses and fascinating beats!

(CHIPPED TOOF BOOGIE)

Man, it’s been a minute since I last reviewed this MC. After first reviewing a small 2-track package to a full length, to now another single! This man has been a super underrated addition to the underground scene, and this might be his best offering yet! Let’s talk about it!

Brand new single by MC Luable! With producer Sypooda on the beat, and together they drop a 3-minute bombshell that will have you re-living this track in your head for hours afterwards! 

So, starting with the production, we have one of the smoothest soul samples I’ve heard in a minute, with this harmonious vocal loop that’s combined with these light strings and very faint jazz-like horns that give this track a minimalistic shine to it that is out of this world! 

With so few elements to speak of, this man makes pure magic! It’s atmospheric, divine, and overall beautiful in execution! Definitely my kind of beat to listen to! (Reminds me of a WestSide Gunn-type beat), and I’m all for it!

When we talk about Luable, we have to remember one thing. This cat is still not in his prime yet, and he’s already killing it this hard! He’s out here showcasing his adventurous personality and variance on the mic!

Sometimes he’ll rap fast-paced and energised, sometimes more methodical and surreal in nature, and sometimes he’ll switch between the two! 

I’ve heard him try and experiment with every kind of style there is, and on this one, he’s just going OFF and showing the world his relentless, cut-the-breaks momentum that not only can he pull off excellently but not miss a single step even when going at such a high level of intensity!

His world play is solid, vocabulary is extensive, fluent flow, and a dominant presence that more people should be looking out for!

This track is probably my favourite track of

his so far, with that sensational instrumental combined with him rapping his fucking ass off! But what’s even better? There’s a special feature in the words to definitely keep your eyes peeled for!

(INTERVENTION)

Holy shit, just when I thought Bone couldn’t outdo himself, he makes this ridiculous beat and proves everyone wrong again! I’ve already listened to this song 10x before I even began to write this because I was just mean-mugging my phone while bopping my head! It’s ridiculous to even think this after what’s already come out, but this

could be the best single to drop so far! 

This is the BRAND NEW Single off the upcoming new ERG ONE album, fully produced by Bone Weso, and every new single they drop happens to be my favourite new single, and this one is no different! This is the definition of ‘Hit different’, and I can’t believe I get to cover it!

So, let’s talk about the production. Bone is a legend at this point; fuck anyone who thinks otherwise. He has consistently proven his superiority above the rest in this game, and this single is further evidence of his dominance over the game!

What we have here is one of the most infectious jazz tracks I’ve ever heard. We have this atmospheric horn loop that has a ‘Middle Eastern/dessert’ feel to it. Like a soundtrack to the Mummy movies! It’s smooth and raw at the same time! 

There’s also some thick bass lines and a minimal drum pattern that helps lift up these luxurious jazz notes as the centre stage! I don’t remember the last time I felt this engulfed by a single beat! I could literally (and probably will) listen to this for days to come on repeat!

As expected, we have ERG ONE on the verse. He opens the track up sounding as smooth as ever himself! To me, his flow on here sounds like classic 2000s underground legendary rhythm! It feels like he’s inheriting the godfathers like Illogic and Slug in his powerful and fluent take on the song! 

I love how he starts off the verse with ‘R.I.P. To Chino XL’, being respectful to the ones that came before and helping push the culture forward with his own unique and refreshing verses and performances! Absolutely incredible!

In this track though, he ain’t alone. We have the legend himself, ESTEE NACK, closing the track off, and his splash style is as infectious as ever. Never one to let the beat take his bars over, he manipulates the production and makes it wrap around HIS words and not the other way around!

He’s sharp, his street poetry is vivid and gritty as per usual, and his rhythm is untouched. Considering he and Bone go WAY back, it’s only natural that his verse is as perfect as can be! 

This is easily my new favourite single by the group. This instrumental is phenomenal, and the two verses are a masterclass in how it’s meant to be done! This is one you CAN’T AFFORD TO SKIP!!

(JIGSAW ZELL)

I swear, this is a duo I’ll never get sick of! They have a specific chemistry that very few have! Another duo I’d put on their level is the very underrated act of 

-Sabio Dub and MISKEEN HALEEM! Similar magical power when together, and these two here with already three magical projects I’ve reviewed to date, this has me more excited than the trio before! So let’s talk about it!

A 4th of July album between the team of MC ZELL and Producer DEV ROGERS, and they are back with another KILLER edition to their already killer 2025 catalog! Seven tracks with 13 minutes of cutthroat energy tough enough to give SpongeBob the downs! This shit is RAW!

You can’t speak of RAW ENERGY and not bring up ZELL. He is a beast in human form, a real-life Inosuke (if you know, you know). Across these now four albums I’ve covered, he brings that surreal, animalistic drive to the microphone with absolute carnage and relentlessness to the fold! 

He ain’t one to sugarcoat. What he says is what he means, and on this project, he’s out for more blood than ever before. From the first few seconds of the record starting, he begins his MC fury with his trademark ruthless rhythm, powerhouse flow, and merciless execution of pen game and lyricism to the point of a lyrical massacre where no one can hope to survive!

His raw performances and no-holds-barred approach to the game is something I’ve become obsessed with as of late. It’s like drinking a new energy drink that gives you more of a caffeine rush than the others! You’ll start craving that specific drink and start to grow tiresome of the ones you had before.

Once you’ve experienced this man and his intensity, the rest of the game will feel tame and boring in comparison! 

Now, of course, part of the magic of ZELL is his presence alongside his brother and producer, DEV RODGERS, who once again is not content with just an average listening experience but is adamant on creating a hip-hop score so riveting and engaging that once again it feels less like an album and more like a movie soundtrack to be consumed in sonic form!

Once again, he comes in with those surreal instrumental moments of raw, unfiltered, and emotionally charged beats! 

Compared to the other three I covered, this one feels a lot more boom bap inspired and muddy than the rest! This record is the thugged-out, jail bird older brother of the last three records. The one that may not be as artistically creative but will knock your fucking head off for looking at him wrong!

This album is brutal, cunning, and destructive at every turn! It’s a swift reminder that just because DEV has a creative streak like no other, he can’t switch it up in a minute and let his gutter side out and create some of the toughest beats you’ve ever heard, period!

Another dope record by the duo! Never a miss step between them and another collection to what’s shaping up to be a killer 2025 record list!

(Levitate)

Brand new single alert! This time by an artist I’ve yet to discover until now, and one bringing with him some legendary characters and a banging producer to help the explosive nature of the track BOOM! Let’s talk about it!

This is the brand new single by MC Mr. Ripley with features from Planet Asia & Pab Montega and production from Sinamatik to tie it all together with this just shy of four-minute track. Each man on this list delivers their best work I’ve heard to date, and Mr. Ripley is thoroughly impressing me! 

Let’s start with the production. I can say I wasn’t expecting what I ended up hearing. It has a 70’s Thriller/Action score to me. The first thing that came to mind was Lethal Weapon or Die Hard! It has that nostalgic/atmospheric vibe with those galactic, synth-style drums and also high-pitched synths that are ripped right out of that era!

Going through the track, we have these plucked strings that I can’t help but groove to! As well as these (what sounds like short and sharp violin snippets) that come and go in rapid scale!

This instrumental legit reminds me of a 70’s movie cop chase! A very action-based sound with glorified production and refreshingly organic instruments to use! I feel like a 12-year-old kid again re-watching all the classic 70’s/80’s action films on my bulky TV!

Now, onto the MC work. As mentioned above, we have three names on the mic. All three masters in their own right, and all three provide a different feel, charisma, and characteristics to the track that makes it feel exciting and unique!

Mr. Ripley, to me, has a no-nonsense, sharp, and raw distinct sound to him, where he delivers vivid imagery combined with raw execution and was one to set the standards in motion for the rest of the track!

He sounded solid, relentless, and heavy with conviction. The type of MC you can tell thought on his words and didn’t just let any bars fly just because they rhyme. He’s careful and calculated with his verses, and that’s what you can feel when you hear him rap them!

Planet Asia (who is a legend in the underground) comes through with a banger on his end as well: with flawless flow, excellent wordplay and distinctive vocabulary and pen game that has carried him well these past handful of years! He also brings with him his trademark aura and personality that has him stand out and recognised whenever any of his tracks are played! The mark of an icon!

As far as Pab goes, he also goes out of his way to deliver a classic verse! Filled with punchy delivery, magma pen game and a swagger so enormous he could have covered the whole track with it!

He sounded sharp-witted with impassioned rhythm and the mind of an MC hustler utilising every word, shaping every bar to fit exactly into the beat and deliver the performance of a lifetime!

This isn’t just a rap song, it’s a hip-hop masterclass of extraordinary proportions that showcases the very best the underground has to offer from the MC’s on the front line to the skilled producers making things pop on behind the desk! It all came together beautifully!

(DRIFT WORK)

Well, this is a new experience for me. I’ve never covered this man without Sabio being involved, and so I find this an interesting change of pace to see what he makes himself without the effect of the ‘duo’ handling things. 

So, without further ado, this is 

DRIFT WORK! A project by MC MISKEEN HALEEM and Producer Nav Sagan.

And together they drop a fresh eight tracks with 18 minutes of new material, and what would be a MISKEEN project without Sabio to be somewhere on the project! Helping to close the EP off!

This project production is unlike anything I’ve heard all year! It has a Lo-Fi/Ambient/Noise cut then most! I’m talking those long manipulated keys, those engulfing synth chords, atmospheric pressure that this album provides! 

It runs like a consistent score with no clear moment of starting or ending, just runs through like a beautifully morphed piece of alternative hip hop, and it’s something that will warp your mind and leave you feeling a certain way after listening to it!

So many times during this record, I had to stop relaxing so much and pay attention to the music for review’s sake because of how mesmerising the record was! It’s so eccentric and moody while being equally crisp and clean at the same time! In parts, it reminds me of ‘A Tribe Called Quest’ in its overwhelming vibes and jazz samples, but for the most part, it’s definitely in a league of its own!

From never hearing his beats to now, I gotta respect Nav for the work he put in, for the sonic world he created, and the score he so masterfully executed and built that is truly one of a kind! Respect to him!

As far as the MC goes, as I’ve heard from many other experiences, MISKEEN is definitely a beast of a rapper! He brings forward his no-nonsense, raw style of rapping that is savage and powerful, and he doesn’t miss a step!

He has sharp wordplay, a killer pen game, explosive flow, and clever vocabulary, and bars that are filled with catchy phrases, smart one-liners, and intricate puns that make a man think!

I’m sure he’s done plenty of stuff solo, but this is the first full project done with just him, and I love it! To hear his boss-level charisma and tough cadence come through as he steals the show by himself over these crazy beats really brings joy to my soul! 

Of course, as mentioned, he has only one feature, being his brother from another mother, SABIO, Mr. Sunshine Rap himself, and he goes OFF as expected. As good as MISKEEN is solo, he’s 10x more thrilling with Sabio as they bring out the best of each other (especially to close the project off). 

Overall, this is one fantastic EP! From MISKEEN stealing the show to those interesting and original beats to the surprise feature of Sabio to close the project up, this one is for the record books, and I hope everyone can give it a chance!
