Snotty — Death Machine


Third project in two months for Snotty, which produces a twenty-minute tape divided into eight cuts with three guests, including Vinnie Paz, and eight different producers.

Bishop delivers the best production on the first cut: amazing guitar riff, downtempo drum, the beat is nostalgic, melodic, NY, boom bap jazzy dope on which the MC drops bars with a confident and flowing style. Influence makes the following beat: beautiful sad sax sample, elegant piano in the background, slow, confident and smooth delivery of Snotty. Jay Royale is the first guest of the edition in "BMF", welcomed by a midtempo drum and dark and gloomy jazzy samples provided by Mallori Knox. The fourth choice features a subdued drum in the background and a tightly looped dark smothering piano that creates a somber beat designed by J. Fabian, in order to support the rapper's quick delivery.

A few sad and dark piano keys, combined with a perfect midtempo drum, compose the rhythm chosen by Mpossible & Olman80zz for the following song, which precedes "Tales": second rhythm by Bishop, downtempo drum, light and dark samples, good delivery by Snotty and Richelieu. Vinnie Paz is the latest guest on the album, on the title track: Mosbeats honest jazzy production, regular drum in the background, good fast delivery of the Agrigento native performer, good Snotty too. The soundscape of the last track is made by Judex and lives up to the best tracks, with great samples and an honest drum, blessed by the rapper's confident delivery.

The tape flows wonderfully and maintains a remarkable replay value thanks to the brevity of the tracks, the jazz-noir mood of the chosen production and the freshness of Snotty's voice. Dope album.

Rating: 8/10.
