Hip-Hop Albums of the Year

10 July, 2022

Dom Pachino — Rice & Beanz

Fifth disk by Killarmy rapper Dom Pachino. A third of the album is produced by himself, along with Dub Sonata, Shawneci, Mes, Block McCloud, Larry Flynt, Lost Sun, DunnEzzy, Jewels Polaar and Golden Child. Guests are Shyheim, Block McCloud, Thirstin' Howl the 3rd, Casandre, Golden Child and Live Brim. There are a few original tracks and a third of the "1st Blood" mixtape. The title track is genuinely one of Staten Island MC's top songs to date, delivering excellently on an elegant production of Dub Sonata. Nothing comes even remotely close to the first track in the remaining minutes, there are no decent pieces, memorable lyrics, or noteworthy beats. Thug, gangsta, street bars, the usual filler for women ("Commitment") and boring bragging, on this occasion the boy aims for the recognition of record company executives, also reiterating that he's no longer affiliated with Wu-Tang ("Thugz 'R' Us") after having stated it on the previous album under the name PR Terrorist ("Don't Get It Curled"). 2/10.
