Fury – “The Bender in November” review

Bristol, Connecticut emcee as well as Leathal Wreckords founder & the founder of the Leathal Weekends festival Fury releasing his 2nd EP. For 17 years almost 18, he’s dropped 3 full-length studio LPs & an EP by himself in addition to the Leathal Winter collaborative EP with Majik Ninja Entertainment alumni/iLLViLLE Worldwide founder Gibby Stites & most notably the You Already Know collab EP with Tre Lb of the Chop Shop over the summer. 6 months later, the younger brother of Shaggy 2 Dope from the Insane Clown Posse is now fully producing The Bender in November.

“I Wouldn’t” featuring Trikkdout opens up with this alarm-raising trap instrumental & both of them talking about their deadly tendencies whereas “Red Lights” featuring Vanity Grime somberly admits nothing good’s coming to him in this place he’s in right now. “Somebody Help Me” works in some guitars to talk about not wanting to go on & after the “A Friend” skit, “The Last Time” ends the EP by orchestrally wanting to heal this person’s soul.

Fury himself has been saying that The Bender in November stands as some of the best music that he’s ever made & being somebody who’s been paying attention to him since he formed the duo Something Awful alongside Bizarre of prior D12 fame, I’d have to agree with him on that fully. Tre Lb’s production maintains the consistency of You Already Know except this time around, he’s letting the Weirdo Movement member rip the mic by himself for 15 minutes.

Score: 4/5

Fury & Tre Lb – “You Already Know” review

Bristol, Connecticut emcee Fury joined by Detroit, Michigan emcee/producer Tre Lb. The latter starting out accompanied by Southwest Sol as 1/2 of the Chop Shop being the younger brother of Psychopathic Records co-founder Shaggy 2 Dope of the Insane Clown Posse with the other being the founder of Leathal Wreckords, the organizer of the Leathal Weekend festival held in New Hampshire for almost 10 years & even 1/2 of Something Awful alongside Bizarre of prior D12 fame. We’ve never heard both parties on wax together previously but since Tre’s performed at Leathal Weekend 5 with his brother a couple years back, I was more than open about You Already Know heading into it.

“Burning Bridges” gets the EP going jumping over pianos & hi-hats explaining the bridge is burned so y’all can’t cross that river at all whereas “Rydin’ Though” produced by Tre Lb himself goes into a cloudy trap direction instrumentally to talk about taking shots & making the show pop soon as they hit the spot up. “Laughing to the Grave” featuring Dr. Gigglez brings a hellish tone to the beat finding humor in things that aren’t appropriate & “Stars” wraps it all up profoundly talking about flying away when looking at the sky during the evening.

1/12 & The Return of the Absent Minded Producer are great places to start for any underground head who isn’t already familiar with Fury or Tre Lb respectively, but to hear them crossing paths with one another for the duration of an EP wound up becoming my favorite project either one of them have done since the latter 2 I mentioned earlier. The production’s more trap-based, both MCs match each other’s intensity & gear fans up for the 7th installment of Leathal Weekend later this summer headlined by the newly reformed Kottonmouth Kings, Monday Night RAW Superstar/WWE World Tag Team Champion R-Truth of the Awesome Truth, Bizarre, Esham & Mastamind and King Gordy.

Score: 3.5/5
