Killah Priest's first work in three years, the Brooklyn rapper releases a mixtape entirely produced by Dutch production team Godz Wrath: Ciph Barker and Black Marvel make two rhythms each, while the rest of the tape is made up of the beats of Jordan River Banks. The soundscape chosen by Banks is experimental, sometimes with drum, sometimes without it, different lively instruments and with excellent samples, often melodic. Killah Priest shines lyrically by bringing back his typical themes and some abstract stanzas, delivering lyrics with a calm, confident, flowing style and sometimes becoming one with the beat chosen by the producers. The final section of the tape excels with several fantastic rhythms and a practically flawless rap by the performer. Consisting of an hour of listening and nineteen cuts, the tape anticipates his next masterpiece "Rocket to Nebula" and marks a great comeback for the Wu-affiliate.
Highlights: "Shape of the Land", "Planet of the Gods", "Tokyo Robots", "Uttam", "Colloidal Silver, Monoatomic Gold", "Super Wars", "New York Train", "Other Side of the Moon", "Waterman", "Black Water Dolphins", "Nazareth Pt. II".
Rating: 7.8/10.
