First tape of the Memphis group Children of the Corn (aka Westwood Click aka Graveyard Productions) entirely produced by Grimm. The crew is composed by Lil Grimm, Lil E, Mac B, Eli, Mike Mike aka Ms. Kra-Z, Mac E, Chi Chi, Red Dog, Malaki, Marco tha Don, Fly Mon and Kavious. The performers put the rap aside a bit, to leave plenty of room for dark loops, focusing on creating an atmosphere. The boys perform ultraviolent and horrorcore-related lyrics with a style of rapping that is not very engaging and that lets itself be carried away by the minimal rhythms chosen by Lil Grimm. The tape fails to maintain the same quality as "Deep Into the Woods" and "Wicked Ways (Remix)" for half an hour and drops in intensity after ten minutes: it's a good tape, but personally, not one of the best out there throughout the season. 6/10.
