Stunna Gang & Statik Selektah — Powerful Musik


The debut in the rap game of Sonny "Stunna Gang" Dixon, son of Grand Puba, takes place in 2019, in a collaborative extended play together with the producer Statik Selektah. Just under twenty minutes divided into seven tracks in which one of Statik's protégé, Haile Supreme, covers half the EP. The laid-back jazz rhythms of the Massachusetts beatmaker are uninspired and unmemorable, while the young rapper from New Rochelle decides to deliver lyrics in an effortless, listless and lazy style: he's close to mumble, halfway between ordinary light-hearted rap and mumble rap. The drum is weak, sluggish, normally it would not be able to handle the normal rapping of an ordinary MC, nevertheless, the delivery is even weaker than the drum and the samples are not powerful enough (unlike what the title wants you to believe) in such a way as to carry on the songs independently. A forgettable tape comes out.
