Right here we now have the nineteenth correct solo album from Ghanan emcee Acknowledge Ali. This man has been a dominant drive within the underground from his huge discography of LPs, mixtapes & EPs inside the final decade or so to the stellar characteristic performances that he’s supplied for quite a few artists. Some standouts in his ever-growing catalog to me personally embrace the Giallo Level-produced Again 2 Mecca, the Stu Bangas-produced Guerrilla Dynasty trilogy & the Bronze Nazareth-produced Season of the Se7en to solely title a couple of. Coming off Again to M3cca this fall, DJ D-Types has been introduced in to completely produce All Shall Perish.
“Realest” comes out the gate with this gritty growth bap opener advising that it wouldn’t be intelligent to go to struggle with him whereas “Killing Birds” that includes Bub Types eerily talks about shattering desires emptying full clip magazines at their opps. “Perpetual Stew” maintains a hardcore growth bap vibe reminding the world he’s been that dude with the repertoire that claims all of it whereas “Give ‘Em Hell” blends some pianos & saxophones with kicks & snares warning one might get murked for crossing him.
Boob Bronx & Chubs be a part of Ali on the title observe boasting that the whole lot they contact turns into monumental main into “Dangerous Mon” speaking about not fucking round due to the scale of his stick & the potential for lives being misplaced. “Delicate Ones” that includes Sage Infinite finds the two talking of loading up when it’s struggle time & after taking a second to speak about how “Typically the Predator is the Prey”, the ultimate music “Actual Acknowledge” wraps up All Shall Perish issuing a press release demanding his authenticity will get acknowledged.
Guerilla Dynasty III was an ideal conclusion to an impressive trilogy & I believed Again to M3cca was cool though I didn’t take pleasure in it as a lot. All Shall Perish however improves from it’s predecessor a couple of months earlier & it’s simply Acknowledge Ali’s greatest solo effort shortly. The visitor listing might be 50/50, however DJ D-Types’ manufacturing representing the signature Beat Junkie Sound & the Greenfield Music founder’s penmanship mixed outweighs what only a few criticisms I’ve in direction of it.
