WTM Scoob – “Sydney” review

Already got the 11th EP from Detroit, Michigan rapper WTM Scoob. Formerly a member of the WRLD Tour Mafia, his solo career started in 2019 with his first few EPs Good Kid as well as When You Coming Home & A Beautiful Drug. Couple more EPs Euphoric Effects & Don’t Be Proud came out ahead of his acclaimed debut album I Went to Plu2o, which was later followed by his first couple mixtapes Scoob & Sydney Tour the World and Unreleased Wav alongside Big Heart Small World. Yellow Willow dropped literally an hour ago & he’s already turning up the pressure with Sydney.

“WYA? I Wanna See U RN!” opens with a cloudy, 108 seconds trap intro talking about wanting to see his lover while the pluggy “U Know U Important to Me” reminds her of how much she means to him. “Girl Ask God 4 Forgiveness” quirkily advises the woman he’s addressing to seek redemption from the higher power & “mo ho’s than santa :(“ talks about having too many hoes.

For those of you who loved the way WTM Scoob heavily embraced the cloud rap/plugg styles all over Peach Wolf almost a year ago, it’s highly plausible that you’re gonna enjoy Sydney the most out of all 3 extended plays we’ve gotten from him these past 60 hours. Production-wise, it’s a lot similar to the previously mentioned EP from last Thanksgiving & the subject matter has a stronger focus around love.

Score: 4/5

WTM Scoob – “Yellow Willow” review

Another day & another EP from Detroit, Michigan rapper WTM Scoob marking the 10th in his discography. Formerly a member of the WRLD Tour Mafia, his solo career started in 2019 with his first few EPs Good Kid as well as When You Coming Home & A Beautiful Drug. Couple more EPs Euphoric Effects & Don’t Be Proud came out ahead of his acclaimed debut album I Went to Plu2o, which was later followed by his first couple mixtapes Scoob & Sydney Tour the World and Unreleased Wav alongside Big Heart Small World. I covered Peach Wolf around Thanksgiving time last year & 10 months later, Yellow Willow has arrived in time for fall.

“Grimace Shake” was a tropical choice of an intro talking about chopping it up with God to wash away all of his sins while “She Called Me Weird About a Year Ago” takes 39 seconds to recall a woman referring to him as a weirdo 12 months ago. “Tom Izzo” references the iconic Michigan State Spartans basketball coach of the same name over a reversed sample & “Fly Ass Kid Puffing w/ an Angel” experiments with sample drill for almost a minute talks about smoking weed with messengers of God.

Only 48 hours since I’ll Never Sell My Soul dropped, WTM Scoob celebrates the fall by releasing an extended play that’s almost 10 minutes shorter than the predecessor from the end of the weekend coming close to the LP he dropped the summer. The production’s a bit more experimental than I had expected since most of his music’s catered to the Detroit sound, but he nevertheless uses the salix lutea as a briefly enjoyable metaphor for vitality.

Score: 3.5/5

Detroit Ché – “Chizzy” review

This is the 2nd EP from Detroit, Michigan rapper, singer/songwriter, producer, actress, model & creative director Detroit Ché. Releasing her debut single “Talk My Shit” over a decade ago, she released her debut EP Chénges in the summer of 2017 & returned last spring with a new single followed by another one couple months later. Both of which make the final cut of Chizzy, which has been getting co-signs from local veteran Miz Korona currently working on her forthcoming EP Travel in Peace dedicated to her mother.

After the intro, the self-produced “Lambo (Go Get It)” is a Detroit trap opener with some bells & pianos talking about nobody doing it like here whereas “Hugsz” takes an eerier approach instrumentally chilling in the corner where the love at dissing the frauds. “Hit Different (Money Phone)” sticks to the Detroit sound advising against calling the phone she uses to make money with back & after the “Mama Chizzy” interlude, “Super Ché” reaches the halfway point of the EP talking about charging up.

“Toobi” starts the 2nd act of the EP with a cutthroat Detroit trap beat cautioning that her crew don’t know how to act just before “1234567 (Too Feddy)” talks about people asking her suspicious questions. “Detroit Chizzy” blends strings & 808s to show the city who the real boss is while “Koi” asks why would she stop when she has more to say. “Pretty from the D” closes Chizzy by talking about not being anything like these other bitches rapping.

It’s been 8 years since Detroit Ché had to make some Chénges in her life & her comeback effort Chizzy stylistically adapts to the Detroit sound as opposed to the mellowness of that debut EP. It’s similar to what Boldy James did with Hommage earlier this spring in terms of a seasoned local MC proving that they can do what they best over that incarnation of trap & succeeding to end the 3rd quarter of the year.

Score: 4/5

jev. – “LONERWRLD 2” review

Ontario, Canada emcee jev. returning 15 months since his full-length debut to release his 4th EP. Introducing himself off The Color Grey. as well as LONERWRLD & The Samurai’s Monologue., he received his biggest breakthrough yet last summer off the studio LP when angels cry. emphasizing the jazzy boom bap portions of his style ditching the underlying trap influences throughout a portion of his early material. Preparing for 2nd album, we’re getting a sequel to LONERWRLD.

“Annie.” featuring Hillari soulfully opens the EP with both of them rapping about a violent kind of love while “I Love You, jev.” spits acid over a boom bap instrumental. “Jamaican Cuisine.” produced by Conductor Williams of the Griselda Records in-house production trio The Heartbreakers is my favorite track here getting automatic with the flow while “Megatron.” goes for an industrial hip hop going at the asses of his competition.

The song “God, My Big Homie.” begins the final leg of LONERWRLD 2 talking about the Lord above being a good friend to him over the course of his entire life while “Runitup.” admits that something in his cups causing his words to slur a little. “Truth.” finishes the extended play with sampling soul music throwing some kicks & snares into the picture going on a mission for the team.

Assuming that we’ll get jev.’s sophomore effort in 2026, the continuation of LONERWRLD slickly takes both sounds that it’s predecessor employed couple years ago this month & substitutes the consciously abstract lyricism for secondary influences of neo-soul & trap in addition to experimenting with newer flows that he successfully tries out.

Score: 4/5

iam3hard – “World War III” review

Here we have the 4th studio LP from Atlanta, Georgia rapper iam3hard. Coming up in 2023 off his first couple of extended plays Down 2 Win & The Bandlab Beast, his 3rd EP Dissimilar Prevalence produced by Whyceg succeeding his full-length debut The Bandlab Bandit has become his most celebrated work & the sophomore effort WDF 3HARD followed a couple months later. Before I Sign & Willing to Die For both resulted in 3hard signing to Cegular Records, making his debut for the Sony Music imprint with 3x Harder & has been prepping for World War 3.

“Bearcoat” produced by Goxan starts off with an dark plugg opener talking about hanging out the window with a suppressed firearm whereas “Black Glock” hooks up a bell-heavy plugg instrumental from Whyceg painting imagery of the gangsta lifestyle running up carrying that specific type of gun on him. “Meds Works” takes a cloudier trap approach thanks to SOULJASPIRITS talking about Cegular doing fuckboys badly while “TSR” boasts of him spearheading the way for artists to get signed.

Nearing the end of the 1st half, “Ford Focus” incorporates some strings & 808s boasting the kind of whip he’s getting head inside of just before Trgc goes for a terror plugg vibe talking about never spinning the music of a rat whose mixtape isn’t selling very well. “Micro Jackson” finishes the 2nd quarter flexing that he & the rest of the squad gotta stay classy when pulling up to the clubs while “The Service” shifts towards a dark plugg sound talking about him still servin’ his housing projects.

“Wet Em decently gives off a more traditional plugg atmosphere continuing to hit listeners with more gangsta rap lyricism, but “What” felt like a better attempt at it despite its 96 second brevity. “Bob the Builder” gets referenced almost a couple months after J.I.D said he’d put a bullet in the general contractor while “Southlake” featuring 2sdxrt3all recaptures the synergies of their collab EP Burn the Booth Down.

The song “On Gangy” winds down World War 3’s final minutes hopping over a plugg instrumental talking about really having it out the pavement while “Shrek & Donkey” wraps things up talking about being more pissed off than the titular character of the Comcast Corporation subsidiary NBCUniversal division DreamWorks Animation’s flagship franchise & his best friend ahead of the upcoming 5th installment set to hit theaters in the summer of 2027.

3x Harder marked a huge improvement in quality compared to iam3hard’s earlier material & not only has he already outdone himself, there’s a pretty good chance World War 3 will be coming in conversations regarding 3hard’s greatest material much like it’s predecessor joining both Babystaydown & Pradabagshawty in further establishing Cegular Records to be a prominent plugg label. The plugg, dark plugg, terror plugg, cloud rap & trap production feels unparalleled compared to the last album & the same can be said regarding the Atlanta artist’s gangsta-lenient themes.

Score: 4/5

WTM Scoob – “I’ll Neva Sell My Soul” review

Detroit, Michigan rapper WTM Scoob is back with his 9th EP. Formerly a member of the WRLD Tour Mafia, his solo career started in 2019 with his first few EPs Good Kid as well as When You Coming Home & A Beautiful Drug. Couple more EPs Euphoric Effects & Don’t Be Proud came out ahead of his acclaimed debut album I Went to Plu2o, which was later followed by his first couple mixtapes Scoob & Sydney Tour the World and Unreleased Wav alongside his last EP Big Heart Small World. Didn’t get the chance to cover his sophomore effort Peace of Me this summer, but the concept of I’ll Neva Sell My Soul grabbed me almost immediately.

“Lean” starts with an intro borrowing from the dirty south a bit talking about sippin’ codeine whereas “Scoob Fame” talks about these pussies & hoes being unable to take shit from him. “Kount Up” hazily advises against fixing shit for these lames since they’ve been broke all of his life leading into the “Feel the Love (Bristol Heartbreak)” instrumental interlude.

The song “Training Day” begins the final act of I’ll Neva Sell My Soul with a cloudy trap beat talking about how if it ain’t 1 thing, it’s another while “U” opens up regarding his blowup & having too much to lose. “Scoobyness” finishes the EP by talking about the habits he picked up from growing up in the habitat that he was raised in with his cup being so dark, he could be a black activist.

For an 18 minute EP recorded in 2020 sometime prior to WRLD Tour’s debut mixtape WRLD Tour Mafia or Die the succeeding summer, it would’ve felt fully complete if WTM Scoob had rapped on “Feel the Love (Bristol Heartbreak)” but either way he digs up a small handful of gems made around a time when the world was completely shut down making a promise on wax that he won’t ever sell out.

Score: 3.5/5

La Reezy – “Lareezyana Shakedown” review

New Orleans, Louisiana based emcee/producer La Reezy self-producing his 4th EP. Introducing himself in 2023 off the full-length studio debut Reeborn, he would go on to follow it up with the debut EP We All Need Help as well as both Welcome to La Reezyana & Pardon Me, I’m Different earlier this year. The latter 2 have been drawing a lot of eyes on him within these past several months, which ultimately resulted in Lareezyana Shakedown unlocking a version of himself that even he didn’t know was ready to take the spotlight.

“Nolia Clap” begins with a cross between drumless, chipmunk soul & rap rock talking about the rocket being ready to go off whereas “Hardheaded” takes a jazzier vibe instrumentally talking about how he should’ve listened to his parents & now he has to solve it himself. “Move” featuring Da1TopNoch is the only song I could do without here despite the beat stylistically throwing it back to the late 90s dirty south while “Tiana Anthem” takes a backseat vocally for 67 seconds.

“Bad Man” works in some more sampling  of soul music openly confessing to his mother that he’s not a good person while “Catch the Groove” closes the greatest musical statement of La Reezy’s career as of this very moment with a crossover between drumless & chipmunk soul talking about recently turning 21 in the current political climate of our country with some strings during the hook & I relate to it since I personally turned 21 at the end of 2017.

Receiving co-signs from the same weekend after former NXT North American Champion Bronson Reed & even Juvenile of the Hot Boy$ himself, Lareezyaa Shakedown conceived during a 5-beats-in-a-day challenge sharpens his artistic dexterity coming off the same weekend local former AEW World Tag Team Champion, FTW Champion, DEFY World Champion, the inaugural NWA World Television Champion & NXT North American Champion Ricky Saints ending the longest reigning NXT North American Champion Oba Femi’s nearly 9-month reign as NXT Champion at the WME Group-owned TKO Group Holdings division WWE’s developmental NXT brand’s No Mercy III in addition to the inaugural NXT Women’s North American Champion Kelani Jordan succeeding the current TNA Knockouts World Tag Team Champion Ash by Elegance’s brief reign as TNA Knockouts World Champion and inaugural AEW World Tag Team Champion, 3-time ROH World Tag Team Champion, ROH World 6-Man Tag Team Champion, アイアンマンヘビーメタル級チャンピオン, the inaugural 2-time PWG World Champion, 6-time TNA X Division Champion & 3-time TNA World Tag Team Champion Frankie Kazarian ending former TNA World Champion Steve Maclin’s inaugural reign as TNA International Champion at Victory Road XIX.

Jeezy – “Still Snowin’” review

Brand new mixtape & the 15th altogether for Atlanta, Georgia rapper, songwriter, trap pioneer & actor Jeezy. Emerging in the early 2000s off his full-length debut T.U.I. (Thuggin’ Under the Influence) & the sophomore effort Come Shop wit Me, his biggest breakthrough wouldn’t come until 2004 where he began a partnership with Def Jam Recordings that’s going on strong to this very day & dropped the classic Thug Motivation 101: Let’s Get It the following summer. Subsequent discography highlights would include Thug Motivation 102: The Inspiration, The Recession, Thug Motivation 103: Hustler’z Ambition, Seen It All: The Autobiography & even The Recession 2 that came out the day after his Verzuz battle against longtime rival Gucci Mane during the COVID-19 pandemic. He went back to basics with the help of DJ Drama on Snofall fulfilling his Def Jam contract & is looking to do it again with Still Snowin’ a couple years since I Might Forgive…But I Don’t Forget.

The funky instrumental on the title track produced by DJ Toomp & Don Cannon took me by surprise to start the tape although Jeezy nonetheless comes correct flexing that he’s still making it snow whereas “Slide for Sho” turns up the funk to turn the clubs up. “Treason” works in some sampling so he can refuse to waste his time on the people who’ve betrayed him while “Snowman Party” has a bit of a jazzier tone talking about his parties being unique.

“Inside My Soul” continues the incredible choice of samples making his grandmother proud maintaining the plug motivation while “My Friends” brings back the funk talking about not being the kind to cheat on his homies. “Another Sad Song” discusses the truth of it taking a coward to shoot up a school referring to the Evergreen tragedy in Colorado earlier this month while “Bruce Wayne” likens himself to the Warner Bros. subsidiary DC Entertainment franchise’s protagonist.

Kicking off the 2nd half, “The Whole Town” soulfully dedicates itself to all the 80s babies just before the funky “Don’t Play ‘Bout Me” cautions everyone to not fuck around with him. “Head to the Sky (You Can Win)” takes an optimistically uplifting approach conceptually over chopping up more soul samples while “Anything” returns to funkier territory taking aim at people who’ll say whatever about him.

“Hustler’s Paradise” hooks up some slick sampling to give some peace of mind since God has done him some favors over the course of his life while “Keep That Same Energy” talks about feeling like Kanye on the night of the 2009 MTV VMA Awards when he notoriously interrupted Taylor Swift’s Best Female Video acceptance speech & later put out his 2nd best album My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy behind The College Dropout.

The song “Thug Life Again” nears the conclusion of Still Snowin’ soulfully making it known that he’s still living that Corporate Thug lifestyle now that CTE World is no longer distributed by a major label while the funky “Back for More” talks about his entrepreneurship. “If You Don’t Know Me” dabbles with drumless for 107 seconds to ends by reflecting on giving the streets everything but his life & time everything except for tears.

Commemorating 2 whole decades of both Trap or Die & Thug Motivation 101: Let’s Get It respectively, both Don Cannon & DJ Toomp give Jeezy a more jazzier sound than some of output in this current decade & it’s welcomed as much as I loved The Recession 2 alongside Snofall & I Might Forgive…But I Don’t Forget. There’s no doubt in my mind that he’ll have to make a Recession 3 at some point within the next few years & if that’s the case, this is a mature prelude to it.

Score: 4.5/5

Jay Worthy – “Once Upon a Time” review

Here is the double full-length studio debut from Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada born albeit Compton, California raised emcee Jay Worthy. Coming on my radar in 2017 after The Alchemist produced his debut EP Fantasy Island from top to bottom, he would go onto drop 5 more EPs & a fantastic collab album with Larry June called 2 P’z in a Pod even though initial plans of putting it out through Griselda Records fell through for whatever reason. Harry Fraud produced You Take the Credit, We’ll Take the Check & DJ Muggs did What They Hittin’ 4 to significant acclaim, but the Roc Marciano-produced Nothing Bigger Than the Program was still good despite having too many features & the DāM-FunK produced Magic Hour improved on that as did The Tonite Show 2 entirely produced by DJ Fresh last fall. Almost a decade in the making however, Once Upon a Time has finally arrived.

After the “Beginning” intro, the first song “‘96 Big Body” gets the ball rollin’ with a smooth ass beat recalling the days when he was driving around in this fresh whip 3 decades earlier whereas “The Only 1” featuring Kamaiyah works in a Mobb beat from Cardo addresses those who thought they were the only pimps around. “For the Homies” produced by DJ Quik sends a shoutout to all of those in their lives who can’t be here leading into the g-funk heavy “Rekkless” looking back at his youth.

“Open Minded” instrumentally reminds me of something The Neptunes would’ve produced in the early/mid 2000s praising his girl for keeping that exact type of mentality while “From the Jump” featuring E-40, Jim Jones, Ohgeesy & Wiz Khalifa brings the quintet together over a DJ Fresh beat or Harry Fraud on the remix talking about how long they’ve been putting it down. “Dark Tints” featuring 03 Greedo strips the drums thanks to Conductor Williams refusing to stop what they started while “Famous Players” slickly gets in his pimp bag.

As for “Tides”, we have Jay Worthy on top of a drumlessly summery loop with lyrics about wanting a woman that he’s never even met by his side while “Bellagio” featuring Conway the Machine charismatically flexes of making music for the famous Las Vegas, Nevada hotel of the same name. “Choosing Shoes” featuring Boldy James keeps the drums out the equation painting imagery of the gangsta lifestyle while “2P’z” featuring Larry June recaptures the aura of their 2022 collab effort.

“True Story” featuring Ty$ winds down the final moments of Disc 1 by touching on some real life shit over a Hit-Boy beat while “The Outcome” featuring Ab-Soul, Dave East & Westside Gunn unites the quartet for a 4 & a half minute barfest accompanied by a sample-heavy beat that The Alchemist cooked up real realizing that this is the very moment where he & guests should observe the results. “Jive 95” featuring Bun B & Spice 1 after the “Skrappordie” interlude opens Disc 2 to go by the cheat code while “Daytons” featuring Mack 10 gives a fuck you to all of the haters they have.

Wallie the Sensei joins Worthy for the Mobb-inspired “Know My Worth” waking up to the money since they don’t know if being broke or dead is worse while “Escape from LA” featuring B-Legit & Jay 305 comes together for a Bay Area tribute. “Sake” featuring Curren$y talks about feeling more like they’re vacation rather than being on the run while the drumless “Blade Runner” featuring Roc Marciano refers to themselves as big game hunters.

“I’ll Be Fine” featuring Vicasso hops over a g-funk beat to talk about their diametric approach to making music while the funky “Gang Shit” reunited with DJ Muggs so he can admit that he doesn’t like stunt because of his humbleness. “Bix in the Morning” featuring Ice-T heavily samples “6 ‘N tha Mornin’” for a generational gangsta rap crossover while “P-Funkentelechy” sends a love letter to Parliament-Funkadelic.

Once Upon a Time’s final act begins with “Angel Dust” incorporating a psychedelic Thundercat instrumental talking about PCP while the jazzy “Worthy vs. Getty” recalls a story that occurred in 2003. Prior to the “End” outro however, “Runnin’ Outta Time” is what officially finishes responding to people who think they know him by saying that he doesn’t recognize them from his hood with Terrace Martin playing piano while “Checkmate” featuring Mozzy & Payroll Giovanni starts the deluxe run talking about not fucking with anyone who doesn’t have goals.

“I Wish” chops up more sped-up soul samples to express exactly how much he misses the women he’s speaking directly to while “The Big” featuring Le$ & Premo Rice unites so they can talk about people hating them because of the individual success each artist has experienced. 9th Wonder turns up the soulfulness for “I Can’t Relate” to profess that he doesn’t find it relatable whenever people say life’s a bitch while the funky “2night” talks about catching him in ancient whips.

Method Man appears during the drumless single “Visions” stating their confidence of always being right here as long as God’s by their side while “Same Song” featuring Shyheim talks about gangstas not living that long over a Camoflauge Monk beat. “The 4 Tops” featuring $ha Hef, T.F. & Vicasso unites everyone to drop singular verses without the need of a hook while “Mail Order Bride” featuring A$AP 12vyy & Isa P. Anchorman laughs off all these rappers who’re continuously acting tough.

“Rosie Perez” featuring Boldy James & TAS rounds out 3rd talking about everyone having to hustle so they could earn the precious gold medals they’ve won themselves while “Kalifornication” featuring YG Hootie represents their home state over an A$AP P on the Boards instrumental. After the “Ghetto Smile” interlude, “No Price” featuring Novelist soulfully talks about certain things being for free while the final bonus track “If I” featuring Rome Streetz concludes with both Griselda artists bodying an Evidence beat.

Although What They Hittin’ 4 still remains my personal favorite entry in Jay Worthy’s discography, there’s absolutely no doubt in my mind that the 30 song & almost 90 minute Once Upon a Time sticks out as the most star-studded musical opus he’s ever conceived. Bridging the east & the west coast with its admirably versatile guest list, the production mostly takes its cues from the westside to cohesively tell a story of authentically resilient ambition.

Score: 4.5/5

Ouija Macc – “Sunken Church” review

Las Vegas, Nevada emcee Ouija Macc kicking off the Hallowicked season with his 8th LP. Breaking out 8 years ago after the Insane Clown Posse signed him to Psychopathic Records shortly after putting out his debut EP Trashfire independently, Ouija has since proven himself as the hatchet’s biggest solo act dropping his last 7 full-lengths, 2 greatest hits compilations, 8 mixtapes & 5 EPs all in the span of nearly 8 years. He even started his own label Chapter 17 Records, with Darby O’Trill now being the only artist other than Ouija & teamed up with each other for the excellent collab effort Anemoia building up Darcc Planet to become the darccest material of his career last summer. 3 months after Psycho Babbel though, we entered the Temple of Ash & Chlorine proved that he’ll always be a scrub no matter how clean he gets. Sunken Church however looks to conclude the story that Darcc Planet began 14 months ago fresh off 3-time JCW World Juggalo Tag Team Champions The Brothers of Funstruction taking the titles back to Juggalo Championship Wrestling (JCW) from YNDP & simultaneously ending their reign GCW World Tag Team Champions at the Game Changer Wrestling (GCW) event Evil Deeds and Alice Crowley became the new JCW Women’s Champion within a couple weeks.

Devereaux & Brian Kuma both produced the occult trap intro “Hatchet Homicide” talking about being allergic to the sun & not trusting anybody whereas “Fungalo” vividly describes fungus growing from within the Sunken Church asking if it could be shrooms. “Left Eye” welcomes one & all to the church hidden below the Earth flexing that he’s chilling with the late TLC member of the same name by the waterfall while the lead single “Killionaire” talks about piling up bodies.

“Flume” speaks of walking up in the room off the smoke killing a homophobe out in Texas & putting the body in his Lexus while “Decomposing” wickedly paints images of himself amongst the undead. “Chinchilla” featuring the shortest reigning JCW World Juggalo Heavyweight Champion Shaggy 2 Dope & the JCW Commissioner Violent J of ICP finally makes up for the Clowns’ verse on “Diamonds” while the 3rd single “Rain Dance” talks about lighting a candle at the Temple of Ash.

Meanwhile on “Gremlord”, we have Ouija morbidly boasting that he’s the lord of all gremlins & one forgetting to breathe after floating down while “Eastside Ritual” works in some heavy bells talking about the cult of the moon & the hatchet never sleeping. The 2nd single “Andy Milanakis” claps back at the oldheads calling him & his music obnoxious while “Decension” talks about drowning to death.

“Break da Seal” speaks of being guided by the voices the concoction of a spell & acknowledging that many wicked ones have never made it out of Hell’s Pit while the final single “Tunguska” that we got last weekend talks about the end being near, giving s middle finger to the world since most are too oblivious to recognize that the world we live in being hellafied & cooked.

The song “Night of the Stanky Heads” begins the final moments of this 14-month long saga with a spiritual successor to the “Night of…” series that the Insane Clown Posse has become known for since Carnival of Carnage & once “Mudrealm Depths” talks about being creating a literal bloody mess whenever da mane is summoned, “Goner” finishes with an emo rap closer feeling stuck in his ways again & all of his walls caving in.

“Getcha Mane” starts the deluxe run talking about having maggots in his brain making him go crazy while “Lovely” tells us the way he’s been feeling as of late, choosing to spread love if even the world doesn’t feel the same way regarding him. The final bonus track “At All” ends the brief dosage of extra freshness by talking about not knowing how to live with himself whenever he looks in the mirror.

Announced near the end of his headlining set at the Gathering of Legends or the 25th annual Gathering of the Juggalos last month, these past 5 albums that Ouija Macc has put out has in the past year have marked a new era beyond the Elements series that Trashfire began & Stalewind ended by doing the same thing with Darcc Planet & Sunken Church. A new dawn has risen entirely from the depths tying in everything that we’ve heard throughout Darcc Planet, Psycho Babbel, Temple of Ash & Chlorine in a masterfully wicced fashion.

Score: 4.5/5
