Foul Mouth – “Everybody Goes Crazy Twice…” review

This is the sophomore effort from Detroit, Michigan producer/emcee Foul Mouth. Coming up as 1/2 of Da Bash Brothaz with the late PHD & 1/3 of JFK with Jake Knew & King Juke, he would also form the duos Bad News Brown & Speak of the Devil with Ketch P & DJ Skyrah respectively after starting his own label Middle Finger Music & producing albums for the likes of Fatt Father & Isaac Castor to name a couple. His most notable work has been with Bizarre of prior D12 fame whether it be his work with King Gordy as L.A.R.S. or the He Got a Gun series & the final moments of “Antichrist” off Eminem’s 13th album THE DƎATH OF SLIM SHADY (COUP DE GRÂCE), coming off his solo debut Everybody Goes Crazy Once to drop a sequel.

The self-produced “Everybody Does Intros Twice” spends the first minute & a half of the album with a boom bap intro referencing WWE Hall of Famer Mike Tyson whereas “Take Cover (Bombs Away 2)” eerily suggests for everyone to run before the explosives get set off. “The Bed of a Steady Water” comes through with a 2-parter Blizzard co-produced talking being a veteran who’s lyrically above the rest prior to “Nooks & Crannies” explaining that hip hop chose him instead of the other way around.

Bub Rock & J-Classic both appear during “Alabama Jam” to talk about keeping their names out ya mouth unless you’re earning their checks while “Welcome 2 the Jungle” featuring Isaac Castor finds the pair instrumentally going for a rap rock vibe so they can suggest every competitor of theirs to stay in line. “Dime Bag Daryl Strawberry” featuring Choke Uno talks about selling dwarf seeds to raise a baby who won’t get big while “Where’s My Lunch Lady” demands for any stupid questions to be asked right on the spot.

“Glamour & Glitz” featuring Tony Cone jazzily talks about feeling decent staring at their rearview mirrors while “Big Foul” observes how funny it is shit changes over a crooning sample. “Stock Exchange” featuring Kain Cole links up so they can throw shots at bums who don’t have a plan & once “2064” takes us nearly 4 decades into the future, the title track references the late WWE Hall of Famer, former WWE United States Champion, WWE Intercontinental Champion & WCW World Tag Team Champion Rick Rude.

There aren’t as many punchlines on Everybody Goes Crazy Twice… because Foul Mouth understandably attempts to fill in the space a lot differently than he did when Everybody Goes Crazy Once came out nearly 365 days earlier, but he still finds ways to maintain the wild humor listeners got to familiars themselves with on that debut & use rhyme schemes that’re more well-put together for another dosage of his reality based late night fiascos from a cloud 9 point of view.

Score: 4/5

Kain Cole – “Khronicles of Kain” review

This is the sophomore effort from Belleville, Michigan emcee Kain Cole. Coming up artistically as a teenager, he would unfortunately wind up incarcerated for 8 years until signing to Detroit independent powerhouse Middle Finger Music almost immediately after coming home & showed us how much he perfected his craft by having the label’s co-founder Foul Mouth producing his 2022 debut album S.U.M.P. (Surviving Under Major Pressure). Following a string of guest appearances for his fellow MFM alumni Bizarre & Isaac Castor, the time for the Khronicles of Kain to be told as finally come.

“Gotta Have It” begins with this soulfully jazzy intro thanking all of his haters whether it be past or present whereas “It’s Up to You” embraces more jazzier vibes taking a more motivational approach to his songwriting for a couple minutes. “Heavyweight” switches things up with a boom bap instrumental & the gritty penmanship leading into “I.Y.K.Y.K. (If You Know You Know)” reminds the world that he’s been doing this prior to his incarceration.

Meanwhile on “Uno”, we have Kain over some strings mixed with kicks & snares flexing that he kills muhfuckas in silence despite him constantly smoking loud while “Blue Check” chops up more soul samples talking about how some will literally sell themselves out for money. “Foolish” ends the 1st half on some chipmunk soul shit admitting that it’s been hard for him to change because he loves this shit while “I Know” talks about people being inept of telling him what he’s already aware of.

“Bebe’s Kid” continues the 2nd leg of the LP taking a jazzy boom bap route instrumentally making it clear that he actually lives what he writes instead of merely yapping & after “Break a Leg” swaps out the jazz elements in favor of some orchestral undertones getting in his shit-talking bag for a bit, “We Get It In” featuring Bang Belushi finds the pair boasting that they’re so raw to the point where their intensities are felt across 10 different cities.

The song “Pesto” winds down the Khronicles of Kain coasting a piano-driven boom bap beat asking who the fuck these cornballs think they’re talking crazy to & rollin’ 100 deep with his squad while “Seasoned” featuring Bad News Brown joins forces with the MC/producer duo named after the late WWE Hall of Famer to discuss their own experience in the game. “How Did I Survive?” lastly finishes things up explaining his way of escaping the terror he’s seen.

Almost 4 & a half years since his debut, Kain Cole makes it clear to anyone that he didn’t go anywhere which I think his feature run justifies that & I might have to put Khronicles of Kain above S.U.M.P. (Surviving Under Major Pressure) because of the growth shown compared to it’s predecessor. Foul Mouth’s production varies between drumless, boom bap, jazz rap & chipmunk soul backing Kain’s introspective lyrics & a couple appearances from his MFM brethren.

Score: 4/5

Foul Mouth – “Everybody Goes Crazy Once” review

Foul Mouth is a 42 year old producer & MC from Detroit, Michigan coming up as 1/2 of Da Bash Brotherz with the late PHD & 1/3 of JFK with Jake Knew & King Juke. He would also form the duos Bad News Brown & Speak of the Devil with Ketch P & DJ Skyrah respectively after starting his own label Middle Finger Music in 2018, producing albums for the likes of Fatt Father & Isaac Castor to name a couple. His most notable work has been with Bizarre of prior D12 fame, whether it be his work with King Gordy as L.A.R.S. or the He Got a Gun series & the final moments of “Antichrist” off Eminem’s 13th album THE DƎATH OF SLIM SHADY (COUP DE GRÂCE). However, he’s finally to make his full-length studio debut as lyricist.

The intro breaks the door down with a gritty self-produced instrumental advising all the people ripping off Griselda to get lost whereas “Only the Right” jazzily talks about taking a break from rapping for a decade to focus on his successes producing for some of the biggest names in music. “From Above” featuring Isaac Castor & Jalen Frazier dustily boasts that nobody can ever be anything like them while “Code Red” featuring Bizarre & Fatboi Sharif eerily finds the trio staying in their hardcore bags lyrically.

“Louis Tripp” works in a drumless sample admitting that he’s been feeling lonely as of late even though he’s one of the most in-demand beatsmiths throughout the entire state leading into “Lucky Number” featuring Choke Uno, DJ Clay, Isaac Castor, J-Classic, Metasyons & Tru Klassick coming through with a 3 minute posse cut. “Discharge it to the Game” shows off Foul’s ear for sampling referencing former WWE Cruiserweight Champion, WCW World Tag Team Champion & 2-time WCW World Television Champion Disco Inferno just before the crooning “Bah Say” featuring J-Classic & Kain Cole talks about their boss mentalities.

To begin Everybody Goes Crazy Once’s final act, “Bombs Away (4XL Beefcake)” speaks of being the only attraction down river that hasn’t failed while “The Salton Sea” drumlessly talks about music being his only passion & for has-beens to blame themselves for their own downfall. “All Jokes Aside” confesses that all he ever wanted was to be normal until his soul got sucked through a portal & the title track appropriately sends things off losing it over a boom bap beat.

Knowing this guy personally for almost a decade, Foul Mouth’s always told people that he could freestyle better than he could make beats & Everybody Goes Crazy Once certainly proves his point that I had already figured out from the moment I heard his hooks on “Savage Life” by L.A.R.S. when they dropped their debut EP Foul World after Twiztid had signed them to Majik Ninja Entertainment. I feel like there isn’t much that hasn’t been said already regarding his production which is mostly self-produced but lyrically, his pen has sharpened significantly from his days with his late Bash Brother PHD & the guests that he brings on board all maintain their own weight.

Score: 4/5

Blizzard – “Devilish Killer” review

This is the 2nd EP from Detroit, Michigan producer & rapper Blizzard. Aside from the 3 instrumental projects he’s already put out, his 2021 full-length debut from the Yung Fam Mafia co-founder Duel with Death had a few moments where the Middle Finger Music in-house producer hopped on the mic in contrast to letting a cast of guests handle the performances & Iron Tiger of Shaolin capitalized more on that last spring. A whole year later & Devilish Killer looks to take it a few steps further.

After the intro, the self-produced title track compares himself to the nuke following a 25 kill-streak in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 whereas “Shadowboxing” carries over the boom bap vibes talking about catching hands or the blade from him. “Midas” observes those tryna get on his same level when it’s a difficult within itself & after Foul Mouth chops up a soul sample for “Deadly Venom” talking about being a walking guillotine, “The Executioner” closes the EP by grabbing the sticks & tearing shit up.

Iron Tiger of Shaolin was the most we’ve ever heard Blizzard on the MCing side of things & instead of fully producing Devilish Killer all by himself, he takes a backseat from behind the boards except for a couple songs & holds the fort on his own disregarding the need for any features to hone in deeper on his lyricism. The sample-lenient boom bap production is still there, but it’s refreshing to hear him at his best as a performer & I’m happy he’s showing this side of him more.

Score: 4/5

Bizarre – “He Got a Gun 5: Basement Jazz” review

5 installments deep into the He Got a Gun saga & the 9th studio LP from Detroit emcee Bizarre. Emerging as an original member of the now defunct D12 led by the late Proof, he was also among the first in the crew to put out solo efforts with his 1998 debut EP Attack of the Weirdos being a hometown classic in my eyes. Fast forward 7 years later, Biz followed it up with a worthy full-length debut Hannicap Circus & has continued to put out music on his own since, with the last time we heard him being his 11th mixtape 18159 Stout during the first quarter or the year. The Foul Mouth-produced He Got a Gun has since become a whole entire series of it’s own, releasing Basement Jazz as a way of celebrating THE DƎATH OF SLIM SHADY (COUP DE GRÂCE) turning 1.

“Therapy” opens with a drumless gospel sample talking about having eternal loyalty for his brethren refusing to be friends with somebody whose brother got popped by him whereas “Screws Loose” featuring B-Real takes the boom bap route instrumentally still getting psycho with it. “Deep into Thought” works in some pianos to talk about living life to the fullest & showing y’all how to ball just before “Warrants” angrily gets involved with criminal activity.

L.A.R.S. or the Last American Rock Stars reunite on “Bag ‘Em Up” talking about servin’ it up & turning up all the smoke that all the hoes bring to them while “Cooley High” strips the drums to spit that gangsta shit asking why a knife got brought to a gunfight. “He’s Nice” featuring Cassidy finds the pair over a rap rock/boom bap hybrid filled with battle raps leading into “All Gas No Breaks” featuring Kain Cole grittily talking about not slowing down.

“Purpose” featuring Fool Boy Marley gotta has my least favorite guest performance on the entire thing despite the theme of not wanting their friends & family to worry for them, but then “Raised in the Ghetto” hooks up a crooning sample to talk about coming to rob instead of poppin’ bottles. “Practice What I Preach” brings some finger snaps & pianos to the fold speaking on being no good until “I Just Wanna Have Sex With You” ruins synth-lenient beat with average depictions of romance.

Meanwhile on “I Miss My Dogs”, we have Bizarre reflecting over the people in his life who can’t be with him presently while “Motion” by L.A.R.S. featuring X Factor works in a trippy guitar riff talk about steadily being on the move. “Mid July” combines themes of sex with the rockstar lifestyle he’s been on for 2 decades prior to Bruiser Wolf linking up to make some “Junky Music”.

“Get Off My Corner” featuring Jalen Frazier & Max Hilli begins the final quarter of the album with the trio advising certain people to back up from their respective blocks while “David Starr” featuring Foul Mouth & Nick Speed brings a jazzier vibe to the table for them to dismiss being soft. “Tap Dance” featuring Lokye ahead of the “Basement Jazz” outro as a closer hops over some pianos, kicks & snares taking on the lustful themes better than “I Just Wanna Have Sex With You”.

All 4 of He Got a Gun 5: Basement Jazz’ predecessors carry some of Bizarre’s most essential material by himself & I can say the same for most of what we got throughout this latest entry. Foul’s production a whole 365 days since the most vital placement of his resume lives up to the name in that it’s than what he’s done with his longtime collaborator almost a decade since their creative partnership began regardless of the few moments where the performances lack.

Score: 4/5

Isaac Castor – “The Rabbit Hole 3: Smoking Caterpillar” review

Detroit, Michigan emcee Isaac Castor returning after 2 years for his 3rd full-length studio album. Coming up in 2010 under the original moniker Gameboi, he would go on drop 4 mixtapes & 3 EPs prior to signing to the local underground hip hop powerhouse Middle Finger Music following its formation 8 years later. He then enlisted the label’s co-founder Foul Mouth behind the boards for his full-length debut The Rabbit Hole & the sequel ahead of the trilogy chapter Smoking Caterpillar.

“Here They Come” is this boom bap-driven opener tryna get the money while he’s still here & assuring that he ain’t ever behind whereas “I Ain’t Fresh?” keeps it in the basement instrumentally dropping off battle bars for a few minutes. “Blind” has a soulfully & jazzier vibe talking about finally living in the mountains leading into “Why Should I Die?” hops over some horns, kicks & snares to call himself a diamond in the sky.

Kain Cole joins Isaac on “Cash Rules” planting the seeds whilst everyone else is camping while “Sidetracked” talking about all these other MCs selling out instead of him & refusing to do so. “Customer” maintains a boom bap edge promising 2025 gonna get ugly just before “Shadow Realm” featuring J-Classic & Mvck Nyce bringing the trio together so they can all flex their pen-game.

“Time for Jazz” hooks up a crooning sample talking about ditching the lazy habits he used to have, but then “Gotham” compares himself to Batman here to save the city. “Spin Itch” heads for more of a rap rock direction feelin’ cold blooded while “No Comp” featuring Jalen Frazier & Tone Plummer reminds everyone that you play by the rules if you in the game.

The song “Thoughts Runnin’” nears the end of the final chapter in the Rabbit Hole trilogy Smoking Caterpillar promising that he’ll break your head wide open so he can examine the contents of it while the closing track “Live Wire” aggressively rounds it out talking about going through the cycle all over again in the midst of him growing.

This upcoming spring will mark the 5 year anniversary of The Rabbit Hole in addition to the sequel turning 2 a couple weeks from now so whether Isaac intends on continuing the series with a Rabbit Hole 4 or a completely different body of work within itself, The Rabbit Hole 3: Smoking Caterpillar takes everything that made both of it’s predecessors the most essential listens in Isaac’s discography & elevates them. Foul Mouth builds his production around boom bap, jazz rap & rap rock with Isaac’s lyricism going from hardcore to introspective.

Score: 4.5/5

Bizarre – “He Got a Gun 4” review

Detroit emcee Bizarre returning for his 8th solo LP & the 4th installment of the He Got a Gun series in time for the Halloween season. Emerging as an original member of the now defunct D12 led by the late Proof, he was also among the first in the crew to put out solo efforts with his 1998 debut EP Attack of the Weirdosbeing a hometown classic in my eyes. Fast forward 7 years later, Biz followed it up with a worthy full-length debut Hannicap Circus & has continued to put out music on his own since, with the last time we heard him being his 11th mixtape 18159 Stout during the first quarter or the year. The Foul Mouth-produced He Got a Gun as well as it’s it’s sequel & the predecessor Art Peace revitalized himself for all the doubters, so them coming off “Antichrist” on Eminem’s latest album THE DƎATH OF SLIM SHADY (COUP DE GRÂCE) with He Got a Gun 4 was definitely the best move.

“Jump Out There” starts by aggressively boasting the fact he’s more hood than everyone else going on a Rampage similarly to Busta Rhymes’ cousin whereas “Grew Up a Savage” works in some kicks, snares & a spacious backdrop talking about growing up in the wilder side of the city. “Rufus” gives off a morbid atmosphere instrumentally detailing his lifestyle while “B.M.T.” hooks up a drumless soul sample to smoke weed & chill out after a stressful day.

Moving on with “1 Way”, we have Foul taking it back towards a boom bap direction advising to watch how you speak to him since he’s a boss leading into “Dear Diary” heads for a personal approach lyrically getting all the shit that he’s been going through since we last heard from him earlier this summer off his chest. “Mother’s House” featuring Lokye has this delicately raw vibe to the beat allowing both of them to daydream, but then “King of Detroit” featuring J-Nutty finds the pair reppin’ their city.

“Rat Bitch” featuring Big Jiggs gets the other half of the LP rollin’ breaking down Bizarre’s preference in women & Jiggs solidly portraying the titular role for her verse while “Let’s Go” marks a return of the Peter S. Bizarre alter ego over these infernal piano chords. “Jeeter” is a whole stoner’s anthem with some playful sampling throughout 130 seconds while “Grim Reaper” featuring Speak of the Devil dustily tells us who the drug dealer & crypt-keeper are in debt to.

Bub Rock & Kain Cole both join Bizarre on “God Speed” luxuriously giving y’all what you need instead of what y’all want reassuring slow motion better than no motion while “Flexin’ on Your Hoes” featuring Bruiser Wolf nears the end of the LP slickly getting in their pimp bags. The outro featuring Marv Won & Max Hilli concludes the latest entry of the He Got a Gun saga in the form of this lethal rap rock song looking to body those who wanna battle them.

This & all 3 of it’s predecessors stylistically are very much reminiscent to the final minute of “Antichrist” so if you loved it when shit got scary during Bizarre’s verse on that track, you’re probably gonna enjoy the entire tetralogy that revitalized the Idiotic Kidd’s passion for the game since all 4 installments maintain the classic level Attack of the Weirdos & Hannicap Circus already achieved. 2 & a half years later, Foul Mouth’s boom bap production & Bizzy’s hardcore lyricism excellently compliment each other as they continue to elevate their chemistry.

Score: 4.5/5

Bizarre – “He Got a Gun 3: Art Peace” review

This is the 7th full-length solo LP from Detroit emcee Bizarre. Emerging as an original member of the now defunct D12 led by the late Proof, he was also among the first in the crew to put out solo efforts with his 1998 debut EP Attack of the Weirdos being a hometown classic in my eyes. Fast forward 7 years later, Biz followed it up with a worthy full-length debut Hannicap Circus & has continued to put out music on his own since, with the last time we heard him being his 11th mixtape 18159 Stout during the first quarter or the year. The Foul Mouth-produced He Got a Gun & its sequel revitalized himself for all the doubters, so the 3rd & final installment had me anticipating it as much.

The intro featuring Max Hilli starts the trilogy chapter of the series that the idiotic kid found his passion again by coming live from the Motor City over a grimy boom bap instrumental whereas “aRT pEACE” goes drumless to get on his grown man shit for 4 minutes. “Insane Asylum” works the kicks & snares back in hitting 3 shots with 3 glocks all for G-Unit Reeboks & “Run, Duck” featuring Lokye after the “Gas Station” interlude aggressively gets in their hardcore bag lyrically.

“Ford Plant” featuring La the Darkman eerily breaks down the exact spot where you’ll catch both of them slangin’ prior to “Party in Detroit” vibrantly talks about the hoes being outside, the players playin’ & the hustlers hustlin’ at the function. “Sexyy Red” hooks up a vocal sample with more kicks & snares wanting his bitch as nasty as the titular St. Louis star just before “Who Gotta” angrily asks if anyone out there got a problem with him.

We get some atmospheric vibes throughout “Bizarre Buds” that suit the track well since he’s conceptually providing listeners with an anthem dedicated to those who like smokin’ good weed leading into the uncanny “Sheefy Mcfly” featuring Dango Forlaine bringing the pair together talking about doing whatever the fuck they want. “Dressing Room” ruggedly flexes he appeared on No Jumper to plug Lena while “Rainy Dayz” featuring J-Classic & Keen Streetz puts the hard times behind them.

“Pack the Roach” feat. Isaac Castor, Jalen Frazier & Max Hilli finds the quartet over more boom bap production nearing the conclusion of He Got a Gun 3: Art Peace to discuss being the killers that they are & “Summertime” featuring Kain Cole concludes the LP by hooking up somewhat of a psychedelic beat to ring in the summer since the 2nd half of 2024 already began earlier on in the week.

Peter S. already started off the year well by preluding this album with the Ratt Poison EP & the latest entry of the He Got a Gun trilogy reinforces everything that made both installments the best material of his career on top of further proving that Foul Mouth is a great match for him. The latter’s production incorporates elements of boom bap, drumless, jazz rap & psychedelia allowing Bizarre to passionately destroy his competition.

Score: 4.5/5

Jalen Frazier – “The Drop” review

This is the full-length debut studio LP from up-&-coming Detroit emcee Jalen Frazier. Getting his footing in during the fall of 2020 off the strength of his debut EP Expressions of the Neglected, he would continue to turn heads in the local underground scene last summer with the follow-up God Bless My Chalice. But for his first proper album, Middle Finger Music co-founder as well as one of the most in-demand producers that the Motor City has seen in recent memory Foul Mouth is being brought in for The Drop.

“Run In Packs” gets things rolling with this grimy ass boom bap instrumental & Jalen talking about talking about all he knows out here in Detroit is to attack whereas “Curbside Service” fuses vibraphones & boom bap drums detailing the street life. The groovy “Soul Check” asking for God to forgive him for the sinning that he’s been committing just before “Prince of a Brick” featuring Bizarre formerly of D12 was a dustily hardcore choice of a single detailing the savage lifestyles that they live.

Moving on from there, “Braille” has this drumless soul flip acknowledging that motherfuckers be moving funny and that they shouldn’t be getting it confused prior to “Profit $ee” featuring Chubs & Dango Forlaine bringing the trio together bringing back the kicks & snares so they can collectively get on their battle shit lyrically. The piano/boom bap hybrid “Sworn Enemy” looks to shed blood if you fuck with what he loves, but then the cloudy yet dusty “Effervescence” talks about being out here grinding.

“21 Grams” rawly looks to isolate himself so he can just chop it up with his conscious while “Choppin’ Block” lavishly talks about done, doing everything the shit y’all on. “Code of the Street” mixes a guitar with kicks & snares spittin’ real talk while “Murder” begins the encore of The Drop by bringing these strings, kicks & snares together rubbing it in your face that he & his crew have done mastered everything you’ve wanted to attempt out here. “Even Keel” wraps up the album on a rap rock note saying that this pussy done lost him the moment that he tried to test him.

I’ll just come out & say that Jalen’s voice kinda sounds like Westside Gunn’s a bit but once you get past that, he does have some dope bars & Foul Mouth helped bring the bus out of him on this album. It’s more well produced than what Jalen has done previously being more introspective & socially conscious than before touching on a vast range of topics from personal struggles & triumphs to commentary on the state of the world.

Bizarre – “Ratt Poison” review

Detroit emcee Bizarre originally the now defunct D12 led by the late Proof surprise-releasing his 3rd EP a day in advance. Amongst the first in the crew to put out a solo effort with his 1998 debut EP Attack of the Weirdos which is a hometown classic to me, the idiotic kid followed it up 7 years later with a worthy full-length debut Hannicap Circus & has continued to put out music on his own since. However, his last couple albums He Got a Gun along with it’s sequel produced by Foul Mouth have become his most acclaimed solo material since Attack of the Weirdos & Hannicap Circus. So when Biz started teasing Ratt Poison, I didn’t expect anything to be below the mark those previous LPs had set.

“Count on Me” is a soulful boom bap opener with some jazzy undertones talking about hitting your block with 100 of his homies with dynamite powerful enough to kill J.J. Walker himself whereas “Uncle” takes a more rugged approach instrumentally talking about being homicidal & looking to air out his enemies. “Heebee Jeebeez” works in some ominous piano chords as well as more kicks & snares asking if you can feel the griminess prior to “Kodak” giving off straight up horror movie vibes with the beat talking about being a drug addict.

To officially start the encore of Ratt Poison, “Potty Mouth” gets on his disgusting shit over a dusty ass instrumental while the unhinged “G.E.D.” admits to being stupid & that he chose thuggin’ over a degree. Finally, the title track featuring Young Zee of the Outsidaz collective whom both Bizarre AND Eminem were once members of from the late 90’s to early 2000s finds the 2 over 1 last boom bap beat with these chilling piano chords woven in spitting lethal hardcore bars for a couple minutes.

Pill God in the summer of 2018 was the last time to my knowledge than I can recall Peter S. putting out an EP & I feel like that was to coincide with the 20 year anniversary of Attack of the Weirdos, which Pill God just didn’t hold a candle to in terms of quality. Ratt Poison on the other hand continues the trajectory that He Got a Gun & He Got a Gun 2 headed towards. Foul’s production is consistently raw & continues to prove as a great match for Bizarre’s improved lyricism.

Score: 4/5
