38 Spesh — Sirius Radio Freestyles EP


38 Spesh puts together five freestyles performed for DJ Eclipse at Shade 45, for a total of 18 minutes. The first freestyle is slow and flowing, on a scarce boom bap with decent synth in the background and layered samples that make up a confused rhythm, a piano stands out among the many elements of the song. It follows a jazzy rhythm with slow drum and a decent flowing slow delivery of Spesh. "Ondaspot Cypher" is a 10-minute freestyle with Klass Murda and Oun P: on a jazzy boom bap with simple drum machine, 38 Spesh proves to be better than the other Trust guys. "Live Bars" has a jazzy rhythm with a slow drum machine that the rapper interprets with a hardcore style, while "More Bars" is the latest freestyle of the edition: simple beat, jazzy boom bap lean with samples from a classic, Biggie's "Ten Crack Commandments". Spesh's slow hardcore delivery, then another classic sample for the second part of freestyle, Jay-Z's "A Million & One Question", with the wonderful voice of Aaliyah. Decent tape, but far from the best of Spesh.
