Taiyamo Denku — No Industry Standard


Also in 2018 Taiyamo Denku comes out with a disc, sixteen tracks, one hour of listening. DCypha produces almost entirely the project except for the last track, whose beat is credited to Psycho Les of Beatnuts. The album features guests from the Bronx (Boogie Down Productions), Brooklyn (Junior MAFIA), Yonkers (D-Block), and Buffalo (Griselda) groups, all from New York State. There are also Chino XL, Saukrates and Royal Flush, among others. Like the entirety of the efforts released by the Milwaukee emcee, the tape is driven by the guests, having said that, no track manages to stand out in particular among the sixteen proposals. None of the guests really rip their track, not even Conway and Benny, this allows Denku to shine with his own solo track, "Fish in the Sea", that sails in the middle of the album thanks to an enveloping sax loop and an enjoyable drum, a surprisingly beautiful choice by DCypha. 6/10.
