When you’re in the position to list iconic album series, especially in the underground scene where one album has the potential to make or break you, let alone a series of them! It would be absolutely criminal not to include this series in your ‘GOAT’ conversations, and with this latest instalment, there could be enough evidence to have this series appear at the top of that list! Let’s talk about it!
So, this is the latest third instalment of the collaboration between MC legend Flee Lord and Producer legend ETO. Both these men have contributed to causing shifts in the culture in their own right, and even more so together! Across this one, we have ten tracks with 29 minutes of content and features the likes of:
-Conway, The Machine
-NEMS
-Vel Nine
-Starz Coleman
-Mummz
And let me tell you this. This album starts off MUDDY! That opening track ‘RA3 Intro’ is straight into that grimy, no-nonsense nature that these two are so notorious for, and from there, the album only gets more and more savage, intense, and gritty!
Whether you’re talking about the single off the album ‘Kitchen’ featuring the ultimate bully himself, NEMS, providing that cutthroat performance to an already bloodthirsty production!
There’s tracks like ‘Digi Scales’, a guitar-heavy street anthem that features scattered heavy keys and a skeletal boom Bap so tough it will scramble any hater from even attempting to touch it!
But what makes this song stand out is the involvement of the real Mr. Hood Rich himself, Conway The Machine, who towers over this track like a man possessed and puts down a masterclass in his wordplay, iconic pen game, and murderous vocal tones!
We can even look at the track ‘Moral Of Struggle’, which is the one track off the album containing a more traditional and homage to the 90’s era of Hip Hop with those harrowing piano keys repeating back and forth for a raw, minimalistic East Coast feel track!
What makes this track unique is the feature of Starz! This man gave what could be considered as the verse of his career! Absolutely amazing!
The production is as grimy and ruthless as one could ever expect from ETO, it’s banging in all the right areas and absolutely vicious in execution and technique! God damn these beats went OFF!
Now, what would this series be without Flee Lord? The one-man tank that has proven time and time again why he’s one of the most important and dangerous figures in the underground for his in-your-face, dominant and powerful demeanour that leaves everyone else in the dust, and this one is no exception!
In this album, you can hear him in his prime performing a vocabulary massacre over these instrumentals with a consistency of a switchblade at a fire rate of a machine gun. As per usual, Flee Lord is no joke!
His methodical verses haunt the tracks with ridiculous refined energy. Like the grime reaper dragging his scythe over the ground of his opponents with his unpredictable nature to pop off!
His iconic street bars echo all over these tracks, his sharp lyricism and pen game are second to none, and he knows it. You can hear his passion and confidence across the songs, with his swagger and studio cadence at an all-time high!
Even when rapping alongside industry legends, he has absolutely no problem with holding his own and maintaining his status, composure, and chemistry with the powerhouses, and it’s a wonder to hear!
This very well could be the best in the series so far! It’s dark, sadistic, banging, and lethal. The features are ridiculous, and the MC is in peak form; this album is NOT to be slept on!
