Freeway & Statik Selektah — Statik Free EP


EP that probably don't pass the test of time, but it's pretty enjoyable. Fresh East Coast boom bap provided by Statik, hardcore flow spitted by Freeway with some guests. Mac Miller gets his props here just going by flow, follows a smoothness choice with a good verse spit by Reek — not at Free level. Term gets his spot where Lil' Fame asks-n-gets a really heavy beat, there's nothing better for him and exploits it to the full: Termanology goes undertone, this beat isn't his field, while Fame is at home here. Hook that pays homage to the M.O.P. themselves, Free closes that track, is at ease. With "All Kinds of 'Em" it's hard to predict a better closure: Statik brings out a jazzy-electro-technical mid-2000 boom bap, worthy of Daft Punk, Freeway delivers as if there were no tomorrow, The Jacka lightens the load on the chorus, then delivers slow, light, follows the beat as if it were a calm oceanic current, Husalah completes the work with a bit of healthy gangsta-ignorant shit. 7/10.
