Hip-Hop Albums of the Year

Killah Priest & True Master — Divine Intervention


After a string of notable efforts, Killah Priest makes a return to basics by producing a boom bap record with the help of True Master, on a Wu-Tang-flavored tape, his second studio album of 2021. The production of the Wu-Element isn't innovative, but it's quite solid and boasts dynamic, tight, dry, slow, hard, lively, midtempo, crunchy drums, as well as good often melodic samples. The Sunz of Man MC delivers mostly abstract lyrics without stepping out of its comfort zone, recited in a slow, calm, velvety, inspired style, making a good 10-track, 23-minute play tape that retains commendable replay value and settles among the best hip-hop releases of the season. Compact and bright, recommended for fans of the artist. 8/10.
