BBY GOYARD – “Operation Tree Whisper” review

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 referencing 2-time WWE Hardcore Champion, 5-time WWE tag team champion & former WCW World Television Champion Perry Saturn 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.

The outro “Light Reflects Off the Spear” concludes Operation Tree Whisper giving off a Chicago drill vibe shouting out the current WWE Champion Cody Rhodes alongside former CWA Heavyweight Champion, 6-time NWA World’s Heavyweight Champion, WWE Hall of Famer, 6-time WWE world champion, 3-time WWE United States Champion, 6-time WWE Intercontinental Champion, WWE Tag Team Champion, TNA Wrestling co-founder & AEW’s current Director of Business Development Jeff Jarrett.

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

BBY GOYARD – “Spirit” review

This is the 22nd EP from Maryland recording artist BBY GOYARD. 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 21 EPs & 4 mixtapes. But coming off his debut full-length LP Loreseeker over the summer fully produced by DJ Smokey. However with only 4 days left until Halloween, it makes sense for GOYARD to drop off a 7-track offering to get people in the Spirit.

“New Earth” opens up shop with an adrenaline pumping trap instrumental with GOYARD getting boastful lyrically whereas “Shadowban” takes an industrial route to the best talking about being in MTL with empty bottles & that he loves to cast spells. “Myth” shoots for a haunting trap atmosphere showing off his wealth & looking to raise the stakes that is until “Black Magic Voodoo Diamonds” talks about the only thing he knows for certain is that he rocks with a band like The Used over a plugg beat.

The song “CursedLife” fuses elements of rage & Chicago drill so he can discuss how he lives with being cursed just before “Falls Count Anywhere” gives off a triumphant edge to the beat flexing that his whole fit costed him a mortgage. “Vowel Ritual” officially wraps up Spirit by asking what it’s exactly like in the Chamber of Secrets & the instrumental GOYARD hops on top of has a bit of a chaotic flare to it.

Lil Shannon has always been my personal favorite member of the Nitemare collective as proven & he continues to cement that as the case ahead of the spookiest time of the year because Spirit is certain to aptly get you into the Halloween mood. The production’s more trap-based with some undertones of Chicago drill & plugg thrown in unlike the sonic variety of Loreseeker balancing his playfulness with the occult in a healthy dosage.

Score: 3.5/5
