Devan Childs x Elcamino — MoonBap EP


Entirely produced by Anthony Alola, it's a short EP between rapper Elcamino and Devan Childs, emerging straight out the suburb. Unfortunately, the effort is short and lacking in some uncertainty: Devan Childs is better on trap rhythms — he still has to work a lot on his breathing control and seems to prefer sung hooks; here, however, there are flashes of good potential — while Elcamino expresses himself better on jazzy rhythms, light and melodic that enhance his calm and smoothness delivery. The problem is in the middle: these rhythms combine trap elements with jazzy noir ones, ending up not being able to fully support both on the same track. To note the sick performance of Lucky Seven, another rapper from Buffalo who rips the tight jazzy-trap production of "My Crown" with a pretty solid and dope flow and is a name that should be noted because it could explode in the immediate future. 6/10.
