Farma G – “Burn It Down” review

Here is a solo extended play of material from London, England, United Kingdom emcee/producer Farma G. A member of the Mud Family collective & 1/2 of the Task Force alongside his brother Chester P, he would go on to produce for several big names within the underground from Rome Streetz to Vinnie Paz & the latter’s Heavy Metal Kings cohort Ill Bill. Signing to High Focus Records a couple years ago, How to Kill a Butterfly was a solid beginning of this new chapter in his career has enlisted Brighton, East Sussex producer Relense to help him Burn It Down.

After the intro, the title track begins with this fierce boom bap intro making a rebellious statement about the government whereas “What’s the News?” discusses the time to hit the streets & let these muhfuckas know not to bribe them being now. The final song preceding the outro militantly finishes Burn It Down asking all sorts of “Questions” over an orchestrally-driven boom bap instrumental & a great deal of them being consciously charged.

It’s not even 10 minutes long, but Burn It Down was inspired by the clear frustration & sadness Farma G has been building up inside of him because of all these global conflicts occurring & drifts away from extending beyond his Task Force/Mud Family output much like what How to Kill a Butterfly did for the most politically charged statement of his solo discography thus far ahead of Relense running it back with Farma on the latter’s sophomore effort Nearly Nothing’s Enough under High Focus next spring.

Score: 4/5
