That is the sophomore full-length studio LP from Sandusky, Ohio emcee/producer Nezzy. Rising inside the underground in 2022 off his first 2 EPs Topic to Change & Pyramids, he went on to comply with this up final yr by releasing the debut album Hippie Thug within the spring & subsequently his third EP New World Dysfunction within the fall. Nevertheless coming contemporary off of opening for Psychopathic Data alumni Anyone Killa & DJ Clay on the co-headlined Welcome Residence Social gathering couple weeks in the past, Nezzy’s seeking to additional unfold publicity by taking everybody by means of the Corridor of Infamy.
“Admit 1” is a uncooked growth bap opener speaking about being the actual deal out right here whereas the self-produced “Tooth Markz” retains it rugged stating the actual fact it’s time to crown the king & everybody obeying the emperor. “Cutter” that includes former Funk Quantity artist Jarren Benton alongside Psyonik sees the trio coming collectively over a grisly beat to flex their lyrical skills for 3 minutes simply earlier than “Prepared, Fireplace, Purpose!” retains it within the basement instrumentally speaking about taking pictures first & considering later.
Johnny Slash cooks up one in all my favourite beats on the Corridor of Infamy for “Muzzle Flash” that includes Vincent, the Owl hopping over a pattern blended with kicks & snares for 109 seconds dealing with issues their means going ahead whereas the triumphant entice minimize “Canine Eat Canine” that includes Jimmy da Gunna speaking about demons intervening daily & having chips on their shoulders. “Undercurrent” soulfully finds perfection within the worst moments, however then “Salute” strips the drums cautioning he’s solely warming up.
“Headless Horseman” that includes Diamond Dezjuan & Phe returns to the growth bap placing the group on their backs like Bulbasaur whereas the crooning “Ayahuasca Retreat” prays that his discography leaves a legacy by the point he’s now not right here within the flesh fueled by ardour. “Bongwater” hops over pianos, kicks & snares refusing to accept any small gives whereas the cutthroat “Optionz” that includes Pohnny talks making their scales break weighing their choices out.
The tune “Freethinker” nears the conclusion of the LP advises that he isn’t the one you wanna wager in opposition to & enjoying the function of his personal success over one other growth bap instrumental whereas the penultimate monitor “Malice in Wonderland” has a cloudier entice vibe feeling on the verge of freaking out dropping his shit. “The Godfather” closes up store telling everybody to go away his identify out of the dialogue if it ain’t centered across the biggest.
Honestly, I’ve been familiarizing myself with Nezzy ever because it was first introduced a pair months in the past that he was warming the stage up for the Native World Inc. & Armed Theft Leisure founders and his sound can solely be summed up as a definite mix of hardcore vulgar references & deeply introspective aware rap filled with uncompromising rhyme schemes & thought-provoking alternative of phrases. Corridor of Infamy although as an album conceptually builds itself round the concept that when you enter, there’s no turning again.
