Dom Pachino — The Militant Godfather

Even Dom Pachino goes to put the logo of Francis Ford Coppola's film "The Godfather" on the cover of his album, without giving up his military uniform and placing the map of Staten Island in the background. Title and logo are justified by the fact that the rapper puts two short clips of the '72 flick in the first two tracks and that, basically, the first serves to introduce him as the Staten Island boss in substitution of Victor Stracci. This is still not enough to make it a mafia rap disk, the concept isn't well explored. The music is created entirely by Mr. Tera except for da "Illest Latin Rapper", where DJ Eclipse provides the scratches and the producer of Team Napalm Dub Sonata returns to put his name in a Dom Pachino project fourteen years after the last time. The guests are Bugsy da God (also credited with Teraban, the duo formed together with Dom Pachino) and Uneek Kinetic. Wrapped up in ten short tracks of autopilot rap and cheap boom bap production, the tape is underwhelming and below the standard set by the rapper over the decades.
