Hip-Hop Albums of the Year

Statik KXNG — Statik KXNG



Collaborative studio album between Boston producer Statik Selektah and Long Beach rapper KXNG CROOKED. The rapper of the supergroup Slaughterhouse shows that he has an inspired pen and brings out texts on various topics, especially materialistic and bravado, as well as some socio-conscious and political extracts. Statik never really strays from his comfort zone, his loops are safe, calculated, melodic, still very good and his drums are lively and youthful. The production is fresh, jazz and soul, suited to Crooked's energetic, rough and fluid flow, capable of delivering some of his best solo tracks, having shown all his talent to the mainstream public on Slaughterhouse's best-selling albums. Distributed by Showoff, Circle of Bosses and Penalty, the project is crushed by some professional critics in a incomprehensible way: it's a solid and quality album, the beats in the ending are no longer great as in the beginning, nevertheless, it's one of Crooked I's best records. 7/10.
