Well, this is definitely a ‘different’ attitude and atmosphere then I was expecting from this lot! I’ve covered a lot of music by these guys and this is the darkest I’ve heard them yet, plus the producer they got on this beat? This is bound to be a hit! Let’s talk about it!

This is the brand new single by newly formed faction -Tha Hell Houndz which consists of
-XtraComplx
-LIL GHO$T
-Space Kase
And on Production we have the one and only -Johnny Slash! And together they drop this demonic set of 4 minutes and 28 seconds that is guaranteed to blacken your soul and keep you mean mugging simultaneously!

If we start with the MC side of things first! We got three men who are already extremely familiar with one another as they all feature on each others projects and so the chemistry part is already there but on this track it’s like they are on a mission to see who can spit the dopest and most important the gnarliest and darkest verses imaginable and I honestly don’t know who I’d consider the winner!
Each man is rapping in what sounds like their attempt at horrorcore mixed with classic underground boom Bap aesthetics! You’ve got that in your face attitude, raw and unforgiving mixed with a side order of sinister and gruelling lyricism sharpened to it’s most cutthroat state and delivered as intensely as possible to create a cypher set of tracks that packs a heavier punch then prime Mike Tyson!

I also love the use of that chorus! The menacing style barely singing formation to add even more murderous vibe to the song!

Not only that each man has their own morbid yet distinctive presence to bring to the table. They definitely didn’t let that ghoulish beat down as they came unique, ready to throw bars and showcase why they should be on your radar if they haven’t been already! I’m already familiar with the trio, the question is are you?

Now speaking on the instrumental holy shit we got Johnny in the house! One of my favourite producers right now with some ridiculous beats over the years and this might be his most over the top in the best way possible!
First of all you have those vocal loops of just a voice going ‘la la la la la la’ over and over again! Sounds like Chucky chanting and mocking the listener while holding a knife to your throat! Then there’s those plucked strings that sound like a ghost is pulling the chords itself while trapped in Count Dracula’s Castle!
I love how in the chorus those same chords become high pitched and somehow even more horror movie inspired!

The drums are traditional yet massive as fuck! They feel like Frankenstein footsteps approaching closer and closer with each second the track continues! Plus how Johnny adds those various sound effects from Crows to what sounds like Fog/Mist and creaking doors and more! He’s really fleshing the theme of this song out as mind as possible and that’s what makes this track so fucking captivating and entertaining!

It’s almost Halloween and this track fits the vibe perfectly. Creepy instrumental, deadly verses, defiant rappers. What more do you want? Check it out now!
