Collaborative project between Detroit rapper Ty Farris and Toronto producer Bozack Morris, on album number three and one in 2020, respectively. Guests are MAV, Pahlavi, Rome Streetz, SmooVth and Melanie Rutherford.
After the intro, Bozack Morris produces a boom bap with slow pounding drum machine and sci-fi samples that take on annoying tones during the cut, supporting the MC's slow smoothness rapping. The third track has better vibes, thanks to a female soul sample and an eclectic and vibrant drum, Farris fits well with this boom bap. MAV & Pahlavi are the first guests of the edition: jazzy musical carpet, slow distant drum in the background, good samples, including an ethereal female soul one, perfect for the style of the three performers. In "Social Media", the Detroit rapper comes out of his thematic habitat supported by a distant slow drum and dark jazzy samples, his chorus is short and simple, brilliant. Rome Streetz is the guest of "Treachery", one of the key moments of the project: good solid beat made by Bozack Morris, with hard, pounding and regular drum, combined with dark jazzy samples. Farris spits bars with a slow syncopated style, then Rome Streetz arrives with a quick and smooth delivery, effortless, dope, he rips the cut.
The seventh choice is a rare annoying Morris production, due to wrong samples on a light beat with distant drum, while "Cold" sees the presence of SmooVth as the last guest to rapping, blessed with a drumless rhythm, supported by an elegant piano loop. The next song doesn't seem particularly inspired, despite a tight drum and dark samples, while "Embrace the Pain" sounds very good: boom bap jazzy, drum midtempo, string samples, here Bozack Morris brings out a fantastic rhythm. Great if you're a Griselda fan, because it breathes fully Griselda vibes: the MC is smooth without distorting his style. It closes a personal piece: jazzy boom bap, light drum, slow and distant, splendid soulful sample in the background, good delivery by Ty Farris, and soulful hook by Melanie Rutherford.
Covering about half an hour of listening for a total of eleven tracks, the project is a competent drug / street / thug rap record, Ty Farris bars arrive crisp and tight on a satisfying soundscape by Bozack Morris.
Rating: 7/10.
