Taiyamo Denku comes from a long collaborative run with German producer BoFaat and hits the spot by releasing this CD, published by the labels of Fredro Starr of Onyx (100 MAD) and of D-Cypha (CyphaDen Music). 15 tracks, just under an hour of material. This project is Denku's first credited solo effort in 2022, though the production is entirely handled by BoFaat. You may not read star names in this tape, unlike many other efforts released by the prolific Wisconsin emcee in recent years, but the boys do an excellent job together with Denku in this hour, on a quality boom bap production provided by BoFaatBeatz, who's emerging as one of the best producers on the underground circuit in recent seasons.
Inside are names you should already know such as Nature (of The Firm), Timbo King (Royal Fam), Freeway (State Property) Punchline & Wordsworth (EMC), Gift of Gab (Blackalicious), Chris Rivers, Mood and Shyheim (Wu Killa Beez), among others. The sound quality never drops below a certain level, which is important support for the rapper, who almost manages to hide the fact that hooks are the weak point of his tracks and delivers with an easy, confident and regular style, building one of his best records. 7/10.
