Maryland recording artist BBY GOYARD enlisting Shawn Ferrari behind the boards for his 23rd EP. Getting his start in 2016 off You Had Me At Hello, he would go on to take over the plugg scene by putting out his last 22 EPs as well as 4 mixtapes & the full-length debut album Loreseeker produced by DJ Smokey from last summer. Spirit was a tight Halloween-themed EP that he gave last in October, but Operation Tree Whisper immediately caught my interest in checking it out.
“Coconuthead” starts the EP on some sigilkore shit brushing off a lame bitch whereas “Girl Like Me” takes a chaotically hyper route instrumentally talking about making a spellcast & dressing his girl up in the French luxury goods brand that he got his name from. “T.A.T.T.A.I. (This Ain’t That, That Ain’t It)” makes a bombastic turn to the beat bringing death from above while “I’m Schtickin’ RN” continues the distortion dismissing those who ain’t thinking what he is. “Light Reflects Off the Spear” concludes Operation Tree Whisper giving off a Chicago drill vibe admitting that he can’t even trust himself.
Nearly a couple dozen EPs under his belt disregarding S-Files from earlier on in the year since it was a bunch of pop rap/EDM remixes of tracks that have already been previously released & the latest in BBY GOYARD’s has to be my new favorite of his. Shawn Ferrari’s production gives a consistent take on trap, Chicago drill, sigilkore & experimental hip hop so Lil Shannon can deliver amongst his most focused performances yet.
Score: 4/5
