Second project in 2020 for rapper Hus Kingpin: five short tracks, ten minutes in total.
The intro consists of a jazzy boom bap, with a dark female sample looped in the background, a skinny, dirty, dusty, hard drum machine and hints of scratches in the background, I think: this beat is made by DJ Premier, the rapper delivers a few bars with a slow and inspired style. The next beat is provided by DJ Day, a dark jazzy boom bap with hard, slow, pounding drum and gloomy samples, Hus delivers well.
The third song has another excellent production, behind the keyboards is Pete Rock this time: boom bap jazzy, sad and dark sample in the background, Hus lets the sample breathe and then attacks with a slow and smooth delivery, over a lacerating and slow drum machine, typical of the East Coast producer. It's the finest cut of the tape. The fourth track boasts a lean, slow and pounding, dirty and hard drum, with decent dark sample and good Hus delivery. After this rhythm of the beatmaker Ringo, Stoupe makes the fifth and last production of the tape: simple jazzy soundscape, good sample, tight drum, Hus spits bars for a couple of minutes and concludes this short edition.
Being made up of beats from Premier, Pete Rock and Stoupe, it's a pretty cool albeit short tape, Hus is particularly inspired in these few minutes, but most heads seem to have completely slept on this hidden project. 7/10.
