NA SILVA holds nothing back as “GET UP” has an intense, razor-sharp cutting to the absolute heart of the matter. Lyrically he goes for the precise. The forcefulness with which he delivers each line has a tremendous muscle to it. So much of the work feels reminiscent of DMX’s early career as there is that same urgency about it, one that cuts away the excess. Even the beats further testify to this approach, with every beat hitting with pure fury. Best of all, it does a perfect job of bridging the gap between old-school and contemporary hip-hop in a way…
For those who miss the early aughts and all that moment in music embodied, henry K brings it back with “Parts of Me.” This is the sort of thing that really ought to return because there is this vulnerability that henry K imbues in each line. Verses here have a cautious hope to them. Wearing his heart on his sleeve adds to the sense of a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Much of the work brings to mind the ethos of groups like Coheed & Cambria alongside Death Cab for Cutie. Though his voice differentiates his sound from theirs, there is something…

Within “Keep the Peace” Forever the Rebel tries to maintain balance. A sense of purpose pours out of the track. Beats hit ferociously. Going straight for the jugular, an unflinching realness comes through in each verse. The speed of her delivery adds to the sense of chaos, going on a kick that feels reminiscent of Danny Brown’s approach, for there is this buckshot anything is possible quality to it. Even as it retains a degree of catchiness behind it, the sense of the unexpected looms large, helping to add to the dexterity of the groove. So many different elements reverberate,…
Zoot brings an unfettered intensity to the wild-eyed fury of “Highway”. Cleverly borrowing from hip-hop, krautrock, and funk there he employs a dexterity here. Lyrically the verses dart by for the verses cut to the core. Like the soundtrack to a seemingly endless drive that needs to go faster, the track features an impatience to it, a desire to move forward yet feeling stuck. Word choice matters for the exploration of relationships, trying to find oneself, and feeling lost, these themes are woven right into the very DNA of the piece. Best of all his control of the mike is…
