(DOOM WAS RIGHT)

You know, due to how busy I am, I’ll admit there are artists that slip past me. Artists I see get massive credit and recognition, but ones I may forget about art the time due to lack of time, ironically. But after it was sent to me specifically to check out, I wasn’t going to make any excuses not to check it out! So let’s get to it!

This is the latest album by multi-man Action Figure 973, and apparently, this was all done by him, the writing and the production, which is dope! Features 12 tracks, 35 minutes of content, and the likes of: 

-Vega7 The Ronin

– Bluo Azul 

-EricTheRed13

Three deadly men to include in any album! Now, first off, I love this guy’s look of a luchador wrestler! That’s a pretty badass attire to use, especially for a music artist! Now, this production featured is very methodically paced and skeletal. You can hear the individual movements of sound from the long and drawn-out notes to the bass-heavy strings to those deranged and muddy chords! 

This whole record sounds malicious in execution, and by utilising these various techniques and sounds, it makes for one of the most interesting, original, and memorable listens of the year! As referenced by him in the lyrics across this album, this production style does remind me of the legend MF DOOM in the way he used to incorporate untraditional music into his tracks, using beats that most wouldn’t touch in his time and make gold out of them.

I feel the same mindset. I wouldn’t exactly call some of these instrumentals ‘conventional’, but as a lot of the GOATS of the industry have proven, it’s that it’s the ones thinking ‘outside’ the box that get the most recognition, and I feel this will be the same way!

Speaking of the man himself, for someone who dresses like an MC version of El Hijo De Dr Wagner Jr, he raps as well as this guy wrestles! He has the confidence of a world champion, and he goes into every bar like he’s the MVP, and his specialty is ‘hurting people’.

If I were a MC, I’d stay outta the ropes with him. He talks a good game on the mic with his witty and smart wordplay, and his sharp lyricism. He can’t be matched on promo, but he also delivers the sonic smackdown on all the candy asses of fake-ass hustlers who want the main events without putting the effort in!

He’s a nice guy, real nice, smooth as butter, the ultimate Babyface. But when he wants to, he could turn on a dime like Cena if pushed too far, and trust me, just like 09 Randy, you don’t wanna fuck with him when he’s angry! 

This time around, he’s decided not to come alone. He’s called his own BC with the Ronin, Bloo, and EricTheRed, and we ain’t talking Rowan, but even though they’re too sweet as a family, they’ll hit you with the magic killer if you ever think you have the special touch on the mic or studio. 

If you’re on that WWE shit, guarantee Action will craft the best storyline you’ve ever seen in your life that will make you ashamed of ever holding a pen.

If you’re on that AEW shit, best believe Figure will be the real 1000-hold man and out-perform you on so many levels your mental will revert back to you crawling in comparison to this man’s abilities. 

And don’t get it twisted, if you’re on that NJPW shit, it will take you 973 years twice over to think he won’t strong-style the shit outta any competition who thinks they throw hands or verses better than him.

Doesn’t matter what company, what label, what part of the culture you’re from. When Action Figure is on the scene, then for the 1000’s in attendance and the millions listening across the world, and to all the haters and naysayers in the socials, you can all get ready to

SUCK IT!! 

Go fuck with the album.

(Broken King’s III)

I think it’s an unspoken rule in the world of media. If you’re going to make a trilogy, you have to make sure that final instalment is the best one of the three, otherwise the scrutiny will be immense! So, let’s see if this album lives up to the hype! 

This is the latest and final collaboration in the ‘Broken King Series’ between MC E-Fluent and producer Reckonize Real. Together, to conclude their epic saga, they bring forth 11 new tracks and featuring the likes of 

-Fastlife 

-Wulfy

-Wordplay

-MyneFrame 

Now, for their finale, Reckon ain’t pulling any punches; he’s shooting to kill! His sonic stomp is aiming at the neck of the haters, and he ain’t leaving till he leaves red footprints courtesy of his blood-soaked Jordans. The protection on here is ridiculous. 

We’re talking tough, raw, and crisp boom Bap excellence that will make street beats sound tamed in comparison. Heavy bass, down-to-earth instrumentation, and boss aura keys and notes that remind me of the gritty late 90’s and early 2000’s East Coast shit that forces your head to bop till your neck’s sore! (I’ve been rocking my neck since track 1 for real) this shit infectious.

Most importantly, this shit is raw but mixed with so much quality and flavour that it’s a guaranteed replay value album. This isn’t the type of album you’ll listen to once and put down. Nah, this is the kind of record that will be stuck in your head for days and weeks until you are forced to put it back on again! Believe me, it has that level of grip on your mind and soul!

Speaking of mind and soul, we have MC E-Fluent. The man who has equally captivated the audience within this series and refined ‘The Dark Knight Trilogy’ with his intense, brutal, and in-your-face delivery, and there ain’t no laughable mumbling on his part; he’s clear, precise, and he doesn’t need riches or fancy weapons to knock your ass out if you take him lightly!

On his utility belt, he packs on his lyrical versatility, his smooth flows, and his lethal/witty wordplay that even Riddler couldn’t decipher! He’s the bane of all hating ass fakers’ existence, and I guarantee after this trilogy is all said and done, he’ll be the one with ‘the last laugh’.

In all seriousness, I love his attention to detail, his ability to tell stories, and paint vivid pictures. His eye for depth and consistency, verse for verse, or even bar for bar. It’s this level of quality that made this series so notorious and also why he made sure this is arguably the best of the three!

To say I’m surprised would be the world’s greatest understatement. The features are banging, the production is lit, and the verses are insane! Trying to step to this legion, you belong in the asylum!

(Cold World)

Man, I never thought I’d live to see the day I got to review an instrumental track featuring two of my favourite beat makers on one song! This review shit takes me to a lot of amazing places and I’m eternally grateful for it!

So, this is the latest single by Circa 97 off his upcoming beat tape called ‘Tears In Your Eyes’, coming out the 23rd of May! And this song ft the iconic Giallo Point, and with these two on the case, what could possibly go wrong? I’ll tell you, nothing.

So this is a song 2 minutes and 25 seconds, and right into the track this thing feels like (to me at least) a golden early to mid 2000’s East Coast type of beat that you’d find prime Hov rapping on! This shit is tight!

You have those countdown beat drops to start the song off, and then throughout the song killer cuts and a soulful female vocal loop used for the entire song. One thing I noticed is how the cuts switch up and extend throughout the track, and then we hear an intense and powerful speech sample used towards the end to close the track off!

What’s impressive to be is even though this track is only less than 3 minutes, there are so many stages and parts. 

From the countdown intro, to the introduction of the soul singer, to the evolving and progressing cuts and scratches, to the podium speech given at the end. All done within 10-20 increments but noticeable nonetheless, and this level of creativity, originality, and execution is what you’d expect from having two Masterclass producers on the same track together!

I love everything about this track, the era it reminds me of, the multiple phases and layers, the various elements to it, and the fact that throughout all that it still remains relatively skeletal and simplistic of a track that is utilising many different star parts to make this track shine!

Even if you’re not a usual beat tape head, please make this the exception and give these two legends the time you definitely won’t regret!

(GOLLINWOG)

There will never be an experience quite like a new ‘Billy Woods’ album. For decades, he’s pioneered the storytelling/dark poetry aspect of the underground and has been your rappers’ favourite rapper for longer than some of you have been alive to read this. Yet with every new drop, he still maintains the same level of excitement as if he just came out, so with that. Let’s get into it!

So, this is his new studio album featuring 18 new tracks and a roster such as:

-Steel Tipped Dove

-Conductor Williams

-Kenny Segal

-Bruiserwolf

-SadhuGold

-Preservation

-The Alchemist

-Despot

-El-P

-ELUCID

-DJ Haram

-Shabaka Hutchings

-Al Divino

-Saint Abdullah

-Yolanda Watson

-Jeff Markey

-Messiah Musik 

-Ant

-Cavalier 

-Willie Green

-Human Error Club

And if this list doesn’t get you hyped, that just means you aren’t familiar with the underground because this is one of the most star-studded underground rosters you can ask for! Filled with regular collaborators and some fresh ones, each name on here brings something special to the table that elevates this record to a different spectacle entirely!

It doesn’t take long at all for Billy to incorporate his trademark dark, twisted, and morbid style and sonic imagery that only he can truly capture. There are so many songs on here that literally gave me goosebumps. The production on here is beyond ‘eerie’, it’s downright sadistic. We’re talking methodically paced deep/low strings and demented choir chords. A jazz track utilised to sound like a panic/thrilling moment in an 80’s action movie when the main character is about to die or get tortured.

An opening ambient-themed track with nothing but creepy noise filled with demented children nursery rhymes sounds and deep bass. I mean, there’s a track called ‘Waterproof Mascara’ which is literally a woman sobbing and crying as the main loop!! I couldn’t believe it when I heard it; this track has to be one of the most sadistic Woods on a track. He sounds like a kidnapper rapping alongside his hostage! The way he can utilise this level of morbid production is second to none.

The list of producers absolutely nails the vicious and dangerous atmosphere needed for a Billy Woods album, and you couldn’t ask for better instrumentals if you tried; these guys did it PERFECT!

As I mentioned before, Billy sounds as ruthless as ever. It seems he only gets more creatively sick with age, and I mean that in the best way possible. With every new drop, he has a new way or perspective to present to the audience, and this one is more barbarous than most.

It features his famous slow-paced, in-depth delivery and lethal flow. His lyricism has always been god-tier, and on this album, it’s only accurate to call it ‘devil-tier’ because the way he conceptualised mini horror stories and terrible situations is truly chilling.

His cold tone is always something to witness. He’s never one to fluctuate his emotions, and his stone demeanour is in full effect today as he presents himself alongside these horrifically brilliant production efforts and raps alongside with ease.

Across this album, the features also handle themselves with similar intensity. These people have been alongside him for years and catch his vibe and aura accurately, whereas I mentioned in the intro, they know how to capture the best and most immaculately disturbed version of him in the studio.

What’s also interesting is the movie, tv snippets used throughout the album of what sounds like horror movie clip. In other examples of artists this kind of decision could be seen as corny or cartoonish but the way he uses them is nothing funny about it, somehow he turns these things into extra fear fuel for the listener and it had me on the edge of my seat!

I’ll be honest with you all, this album got to me so much that I had to listen with all my lights on! The idea of listening to this in the dark was absolutely terrifying. This is truly a masterpiece in the depraved and I can’t imagine anyone ever doing it as masterful as Billy and his associates!

I can’t believe this is my second review of the week covering a one-man band. I celebrate cool little coincidences like these; I mean, what are the odds? Anyway, another new artist discovery at that! So let’s get into it!

So, this is the latest release by MC, Writer, Mixer, and Producer Apx Alx. Featuring 12 tracks with over half an hour of run time! 

I’ll start off by saying it’s always impressive when one man can operate on all cylinders. I can’t imagine if I were an artist doing everything myself; that sounds like a nightmare, but here he is proving that it can be done! Which is dope. 

Now, on the production side of things, I’d say he went for a more ambitious approach to the instrumentation. I hear a lot of different elements such as:

-Ambient

– Lo-Fi

– Traditional Hip Hop

-Classical 

-Jazz

And the way he utilises these different notes and keys, chords, and strings is quite impressive. He will choose one instrument sample or sound and add that into a specific beat rhythm and prefer a skeletal beat to help the instrument in question blossom on the track and leave the listeners with a feeling of excitement and satisfaction when hearing something that is beautiful in execution yet equally simplified for a ‘less is more’ approach, which when done right can be the best music to listen to.

I find this pattern across each track on this album done in a mastered way where each song feels like a grand atmosphere of golden sounds, harmonic melodies, and dreamy aesthetic that relaxes the body, soul, and brain when listening to it.

The only complaint I could say is that in some areas the songs do feel ‘flat’ and I feel could be mixed a bit louder or better, but again I ain’t the one working solo so I can’t imagine the pressure and difficulty in releasing a full album by oneself, so I won’t judge just being honest! Doesn’t take away from the listening experience at all!

Onto the MC side of things, I think he’s super dope! He has a passionate energy to him, you can hear his enthusiasm and his witty, clever wordplay is fresh on the record and he has a certain lively cadence on the flow and bar for bar he’s eager, cunning and confident which are three things you definitely need to shine on an LP!

I love how depending on the nature or tempo of the track he’ll adjust his speed and style to better suit and match the song in question. That level of self-awareness is important and surprisingly uncommon with a lot of artists. 

I’ve heard dozens upon dozens of artists who rap the same speed or pace on every track whether it’s slow or fast and that shit bugs me. It proves a lack of self-awareness or understanding of your own music which in turn is a clear sign your ass. Thankfully Apx is a clear-cut example of how you should handle yourself on an album and I respect that!

Overall, a very dope release by the man who ran this shit himself! It ain’t easy it can’t be but he pulled it off and I’m impressed! 

Shoutout to the features .96 and Gorgeous Jefe on this record!

(Vintage Lord)

In my line of work, I find myself overworked quite often. Left staying up till past midnight most nights just to clear my review schedule for the next day’s batch. But there are a rare few I volunteer to stay up late for just to catch their latest shit, and Maze Overlay is one of those men. As long as he’s making music, I’ll be here to support and wait in anticipation for each and every drop!

This is his latest album and his second full-length LP of the year following his exceptional project ‘Word’, and now he’s back with a list of producers such as: 

-Wahr Season

-Arza 

-Good Phelo 

-Fumes The Threat

-Swab

-Now & Laterz

-Bishop

-Odd Father

And although I prefer records with one producer running the show, this album is definitely the exception. What makes this record special first and foremost is the cooperation and one mindset on the production. Although each track has its own unique characteristics, they all come together to focus on a singular vibe and overall concept. 

Right off the bat, I noticed similar to projects such as ‘KOMPLEX’ or ‘The Grid’, it features a very dreamlike, ambient atmosphere in its instrumentation and execution of the production and overall soundscape of the record. Very melodic notes and keys, a surreal and methodical pace for the instrumentals, and you can feel that each producer working on this album took their time to establish a specific rhythm and aesthetic for this album.

It’s not a raw or muddy-sounding album but more a slick, introspective at times and artful in all its beautiful layers. 

There’s across the album (including the intro) where you hear these skits and narratives, which definitely give this record a more intimate and thought-provoking essence! Actually, I’ve noticed that about all of Maze’s drops, he never adds dumb shit in his skits or interludes! I hate comedy or filler skits that don’t mean nothing— unpopular opinion— but all that Redman or Ludacris using tons of skits that rob the album of actual music annoys me. But Maze utilises these for creativity and making the audience think about the words being said.

That’s the difference, and that’s when interludes are acceptable! When they actually ADD something to the record, so that’s another layer when Maze wins over the rest! 

I must say this every time, but with every new Maze album, I swear he gets better and better, and his rapping skills are sharper and more powerful than the previous release.

On this record, he sounds wise, he sounds like a 100-year-old Sensei who is preaching to the young ones about the art and mastery of hip hop! He has this certain level of reverence and respect in his cadence that’s unique to him. 

With every bar he spits, he does so smoothly, gliding alongside the beat; nothing ever feels forceful or awkward with him, just pure coasting song to song, never knowing how it feels to touch the ground!

Although his subject matter can switch track to track or even album to album, he has seemed to give off this thinking man’s perspective on his bars. As if he’s literally trying to teach the audience and give them something to go home with after the album is done. I never really listen to a Maze album and just switch off; I’m always finding myself hanging on every word he says because it’s always part of a bigger picture or a grander story, and that level of lyricism is a big factor why I support this man!

Actually come to think of it also, he’s rarely ever with features. A few here and there across several albums but for the most part he’s always rocking on his own. That’s a strength a lot of rappers today don’t understand. When you can make a whole LP pop just on your own? That level of self confidence and dedication is something you can’t buy, it’s something you learn and he’s been at the forefront of this for years now!

When it comes to Maze, I’m never surprised. Don’t get me wrong I am the serpent tongue if ever drops ass I’ll be the first to say ‘this is ass’ but he just hasn’t. Every release I’ve heard from him since 2024 has been absolutely fire and I’m gonna be excited to cover him as long as he makes music!

(Kitchen)

You know, sometimes certain collaborations just naturally get the culture hyped. Al Divino and Estee Nack, Pro Dillinger and FutureWave, Mickey Diamond and Big Ghost Ltd, and without a doubt today’s feature is bound to get you excited if you’re a real one! Let’s talk about it!

This is the latest single by the infamous Flee Lord, whose reputation needs no explanation! But not only is he back with a brand new single off his upcoming album ‘RA3’, and to celebrate, he’s dropping a track featuring none other than NEMS AND PRODUCED BY ETO! 

If that doesn’t get you hyped, I don’t know what will! Because this track goes OFF! 

The production alone is crazy, with ETO utilising that traditional muddy hardcore boom bap-flavoured track that feels like a sonic Randy Orton punt kick to the head! It’s raw, rough, and rugged, and if you aren’t prepared for it, it will knock you down for the KO! 

I love those methodical piano keys combined with that trademark grimy beat with that ridiculous bass, and all of this combined makes for one of the toughest singles of the year but makes for the perfect advertisement for the new album dropping midnight!

As solid as ETO’s production was, the trio’s rapping was better! The way they delivered verse after verse after verse in such a way that it showed their competitiveness, all three trying to make it out with the verse of the night and rapping their asses off!

Each man had their own distinct flavour and distinct personality that they add to the track, each man with their monstrous aura and lethal wordplay and delivery makes this one a triple threat no-holds-barred match for the ‘best verse of the night’ title, and none of them came to lose!

So, make sure as a real hip-hop head you support these legends by fucking with the track and deciding for yourself who won the match?

(REINVIGORATED EP)

Oh boy, we’re back again. Actually, to be accurate, NOWAAH is back again. He’s working on making this year HIS YEAR with his sixth drop of the year, and he’s only getting better with consistency, so let’s talk about it!

This new collaboration features the producer ‘The Kurse’, one of his earliest collaborators from back in the day, but they are back to drop heat in the form of seven fresh tracks that outclass your favourite rappers’ top five!

Right off the fucking bat, as this album starts, it blasts you with that cinematic energy and theatrical aura, combining the jazz influence with that hardcore boom bap shit, and it sounds fucking gorgeous!

The immersion only gets deeper the further down the record you get because each track features its own unique rhythm and vibe that sets it apart from the rest! Each song comes to life and breathes that surreal atmosphere and masterfully crafted instrumentation that gives the body goosebumps! 

Whether we are talking about the track ‘BLADE RUNNER’, that features that methodically paced strings combined with those light-worked drum patterns that all together sound like an outer world/hypnotic trip! Also, those sex sounds running through the track make for quite the intimate feeling for sure!

Or hell, let’s talk about the very track after ‘MOST GRACIOUS’, which has this soulful/R&B vibe with those smooth keys and string combinations that sound like something Smokey Robinson would play! Absolutely dope.

The point I’m trying to prove is that you pick any of the tracks on this list, and they all tell their own story and present their own sonic statement, and that level of diversity is what makes this album and its execution one of the most memorable yet! 

What can I say about NOWAAH that I haven’t already said? This man is the definition of a powerhouse! Every record he’s on, he sounds absolutely monstrous in his deep vocal tones, his tough and rugged demeanour, his sharp and lethal wordplay, and his destructive MC presence is a rare trait most rappers lack!

He has the flow of an earthquake, and his clever and witty lines hit the instrumental like a truck full of nails, destroying everything in their path and leaving the beat on fire! 

He’s always the type of rapper to impress me with his equally brash and witty lyricism, with his aura of complex and ruthless enthusiasm, and his brand of consistency and brutality in this underground landscape, where he’s renowned as one of the best and most skilled to do it, and this latest EP is nothing but a further statement of that! 

So, as a hip-hop head. Please heed my advice and go play and buy this album, and do yourselves a favour and listen to this wonderfully mixed, perfect chemistry EP that will definitely leave an impression!

(The Infinite Money Glitch)

It’s been a minute since I last reviewed the main man Black Kush, and I’m thankful to be back and being able to witness the introspective masterpiece that was sure to be the new Black Kush album. Not surprisingly, I was right! 

So, this is his latest album that’s been produced by ANTONYM and features eight new tracks and a whole vibe to go with it! Just like with his previous release, this record displays a certain attitude and aura that not many other artists can say they replicate. With any record I’ve heard him on, he always has this production that’s larger than life and feels like a sonic noir movie in the modern day. 

The way those classical chords are utilised, those beautifully orchestrated strings, the subtle drum patterns, and just the overall treatment and mastery of the instrumentation and keys make this record a vibrant and powerful score that touches your soul in a way most records can’t.

The way the beats and production sound, it feels like it has this ‘aesthetic’ effect that makes your mind wonder and your curiosity peek through the various stages and points of the record. It’s a real thinker’s man album, and I love that.

Of course, as amazing as the production is, it wouldn’t be the same without the MC himself, who is rocking his shit with no features, just him and his ever-growing ability and wordsmith talent. When I listen to him rap, it reminds me of the old school days of the underground—you:

-Illogic

-Open Mike Eagle

-Milo

-Aesop Rock 

The ones who built the foundation for poetry, reflective and thoughtful bars over money insensitive, and that’s how I feel here. He has such an amazing pen game, his flow is absolutely fluent, his lyricism and vocabulary is off the charts; he’s like a walking thesaurus! His intellectual wordplay is something I’ll always appreciate, as that subgenre of hip hop is always in my top three, as that’s what I spent my teens listening to and my first discovery of the underground!

He has a dope subtlety to his delivery. He ain’t trying to be a tough guy or over the top; he’s just letting his well-crafted verses speak for him, and across this level of production, it all falls into place seemingly!

Another fantastic showing by Black Kush! His chemistry with ANTONYM was perfect, and hopefully, we can hear more from them in the future!

(Much Given, Much Tested)

Man, in the year of banging collaborations, this one might be the most groovy! Damn, this album is infectious as hell, let’s talk about it!

This is the latest album by MC BlackLiq and producer Dub Sonata, and together they drop 13 tracks with the likes of: 

-Nickelus F

-Slug

-Tone Spliff

-Napoleon Da Legend

-Michael Alan Alien

-Noah-O

-Evening Elevator 

And hopefully, I don’t have to be the one to tell you that this is a fucking STACKED roster to work with. With these names, regardless of the album artists, this would be, but especially with this duo? Games over.

As I mentioned in my intro, the production is as colourful as I’ve heard this year! It’s as if the songs themselves are alive and filled with spirit and character, with the purpose of giving the audience the most clear and crisp audio experience of their lives!

The horns, the notes, strings, and piano keys are all elevated from 10 to 100! Absolutely surreal techniques and mastery of the instruments and samples that define the meaning of ‘vibrant’, it’s nothing short of incredible.

This is the kind of record you could listen to over and over again, and it will never lose its infectious energy; this feels like a hip-hop score you’d hear in a cinematic movie about the art. If they ever did make a theatrical release about hip-hop, then this would be the album I’d use as the soundtrack for real! I can’t say it enough, this album SLAPS.

Across this beautifully crafted masterpiece, we have, as mentioned, BlackLiq on the case, accompanied by some of the dopest names you’ll ever hear in the industry, period. But Black is a powerhouse in his own right, and he shows you exactly why across this one.

His notorious energy combined with his lethal lyricism, his incredible versatility in his wordplay and witty puns, and his smooth flow is uncompromising and untouchable! 

His trademark deep-toned voice spreads like wildfire across this album and takes no prisoners, inserting himself into the conversation for some of the best performances of the year! 

Which is saying a lot considering he has the likes of the legend Slug and Napaloen Da Legend on his heels, but as a true threat, he doesn’t waver or flinch because he knows he’s earned his way into being peers with the likes of these men, and that level of respect can never be bought, and he and the rest of the people on this record know that more than anyone.

Man, I could listen to this record forever, honestly. It’s rare to hear a rap album so fucking groovy and infectious. If you ain’t listening to this, then you’re missing out!
