Daniel Carrillo arrives at his studio album number sixteen, he can now consider himself a veteran, although he has never been seriously considered in the game. Like him, New York native Anthony Ortiz shows up on his second effort of 2020, but for UFO Fev it's also the second studio album in his entire career after the debut with Statik Selektah released five months earlier. In this collaborative project, they claiming to come from the ghetto and putting together honest lyrics on light and simple jazzy rhythms: the production is entirely made by Termanology himself, he doesn't exaggerate and varies the rhythms quite well by inserting calm midtempo sounds alternative to other darker, sadder, and gloomy vibes, sometimes accompanied by an elegant piano. Their delivery style is syncopated, slow and spoken, they do nothing surprising, Styles P turns on a tepid light in "Villains", tearing the jazzy dope beat, with simple skinny drum machine and ethereal female sample looped in the background. The other guests are, like the rhythms, a little more functional to the whole package: overall, it's a quiet listen, decent for East Coast fans, but not essential. 6/10.
