Right here now we have the sixteenth EP albeit his 2nd to be launched this yr from Buffalo emcee & singer Elcamino. Blowing up in 2017 off his self-titled EP with Griselda Data, his profile more and more grew after being adopted up by Strolling on Water mixtape in the summertime of 2018 together with dropped 2 studio albums & just a few EPs the yr after that.. They Spit on Jesus proved to be a nicely obtained Black Soprano Household Data debut the primary Camino undertaking that I had lined since On the third Day & that very similar to No Weapon Shaped Towards Me was an enchancment over a number of the materials we’ve gotten from him in latest reminiscence. 6 months after having Actual Unhealthy Man produce The Recreation is the Recreation although, Ailing Tone’s now producing Constructed for Cuban Hyperlinks named after Raekwon’s iconic solo debut Solely Constructed 4 Cuban Linx… produced by RZA.
Estee Nack joins Elcamino for the opener “Stash Home Legends” beginning Constructed for Cuban Hyperlinks by reaffirming each of their statuses within the drug recreation over a naked soul pattern whereas “Mill Prep” places the drums within the equation promising to remain the identical with or with out cash. “Property” appears like a 73 second freestyle accompanied by a drumless instrumental whereas “Pink Room” that includes Flames Dot Malik goes increase bap detailing the gangsta life they dwell.
“Gold Plated Benz Wagons” classily talks about being higher echelon simply earlier than “Cuban on Cuban” works in additional kicks & snares flexing that hip hop obtained him iced over. “Zip Lock Olympics” luxuriously will get again on his hustler shit main into the flute-tinged “God’s Favourite” declares he’s achieved doing & promoting percs. The title monitor strips the drums once more to speak about coming from a darkish avenue & “I Knew” returns to the increase bap 1 extra time profitable standoffs as a substitute of awards.
The Recreation is the Recreation nonetheless stays one of the best I’ve heard from Camino ever since signing to B$F, however Constructed for Cuban Hyperlinks nonetheless finds him occurring a 3-peat since I loved it as a lot as I did They Spit on Jesus when he joined the label’s roster 11 months in the past. Ailing Tone clearly ain’t no Actual Unhealthy Man but his takes on the increase bap/drumless sounds get elevated because of the tales Meechy tells in solely 20 minutes.
