Blaq Poet & Comet — Mad Screwz

Blaq Poet with his second 2016 record after the "The Most Dangerous". This effort is a collaboration with the emerging rapper Comet. Despite flowing like an EP, with a selection of cuts worthy of an EP, and with an overall length equal to that of a long EP (half an hour), call it LP. Marco Polo ("Mad Screwz") and Domingo ("Pain & Strife") provide the best rhythms of this roundup, the first with a simple, tense, dark and rocky jazzy rhythm, the second with a tense, gloomy jazzy boom bap an appropriate delivery by the duo Poet & Comet and the generic verse of Red Eye; cut supported by the hook that pays homage to "C.R.E.A.M" of the Wu-Tang Clan and to "New York, New York" of C-N-N. Also cuts like "Holding Back" with Tragedy and "Time for Change" are pretty decent, the others are missing something. Incoherent record, 5/10.
