Nack & The Fiend Stalk

We all grew up on this classic fairy tale right? Come on you know the story! Estee Nack on the street corner hustling, the fiend didn’t have the $ to pay for his fix but instead hands Nack a back of magic beans and tells him it’s that ‘next level shit’
Nack plants the beans, wakes up to a giant Fiend stalk in his backyard! Calls his main man Divino to come with him to climb the shit, pick the place dry of gold, diamonds and smack the giant for talking shit!
You ain’t heard this one before? Well consider this a preset day re telling turned into a modern day classic! I present to you

NACK & THE FIEND STALK!

This is the brand new album produced entirely by -Al Divino & Performed by -Estee Nack and across these 17 tracks we get both men back at their most artistic peaks. If I’m being honest this album reminds me of the inverted version of Divino’s album ‘HAMMERABI’ in how Divino performed that one under what I would say was some of his most compelling work in his career and this is Estee’s!

This truly unlike any other Divino production I’ve experienced for myself. It’s as if he’s a walking, breathing cartoon character who has jumped off the page and entered the real world to make the most eccentric, whimsical and infectious Hip-Hop melodies that pack a theatrical punch to them.

I will say this, this is the first album I’ve heard that sounds like a true collaboration of Divino’s new ‘Jackpot Records’ era soundscapes over an Estee project. Of course they’ve done countless records together and are one of the most iconic duo’s in the history of Hip-Hop but this one has that special experimental, rough around the edges, messy feel to it that we heard during the EP rush of 2025 that Jackpot pulled off as well as his various beat tapes and full length albums.

This one has a beautifully composed world that only Divino could of created, with his use of various dialogue snippets to build immersion to those adventures beats that give a new light to Estee and highlights even further his performative dominance across the beats!
I feel track 4 has the most original instrumental and lay out on the whole album. From those deep keys with those reverb/echoing effect combined with those hypnotic drum work and high pitched chords that re appear every 15 seconds or so!

On this track Estee goes from 0-100 in seconds. Spitting what might be one of his strongest verses he’s done period! Bar after bar forcing you to mean mug while listening! Absolutely ridiculous!
It will always blow my mind how Estee maintains his freshness! He’s been in this game for over a decade and with each new drop he just sounds more crisp and sharp! I feel it’s Because his passionate never expires! Every word and verse comes from his soul it ain’t just rapping for the sake of it but words he’s proud to spit, making music with brothers and sisters he actually fucks with and respects and that’s why his music never gets stale because it comes from the heart!

I feel one of the most overlooked (or taken for granted) aspects of both Estee and Vino is their abilities to use any theme, influence, concept and idea and make it gold. I want you to really think about that for a second! Think of your favourite artist growing up and imagine then trying to conceptualise even 1/10th of what these two have done together and how that would play out! These two make it look easy but it ain’t. They are two creative geniuses who flip greatness with each new release!

Is it even a question at this point? Yes this album is worth it and then some. Just Vino & Estee working on their natural chemistry to create a fever dream atmosphere that no other artist can even touch! And for under $32 for the listening experience? THIS IS ART!
