That is the 18th EP from Buffalo emcee & singer Elcamino. Blowing up in 2017 off his self-titled EP with Griselda Information, 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 & a number of EPs the yr after that. They Spit on Jesus proved to be a nicely acquired Black Soprano Household Information debut turning into the primary Camino undertaking that I had coated since On the third Day & that very like No Weapon Fashioned In opposition to Me was an enchancment over a few of the materials we’ve gotten from him in current reminiscence. 6 months after having Actual Unhealthy Man produce The Recreation is the Recreation adopted by Unwell Tone not too long ago producing Constructed for Cuban Hyperlinks named after Raekwon’s iconic solo debut Solely Constructed 4 Cuban Linx…produced by RZA, Meech began the ultimate quarter of the yr flexing his Millionaire standing & is ending it with a have a look at a Full Moon.
“Who Braggin’?” awkwardly kicks issues off by impersonating Future for no matter purpose whereas “Authorized Cash” takes the atmospheric entice route instrumentally doing shit that nobody else can in comparison with him. “Perpetually” works in some background vocals & hi-hats speaking about being too precious whereas “Actual” that includes Duckman vibrantly flexes that he’s nonetheless clappin’ out right here. “Dat’s My Bae” looks like one other Future-inspired tune & so does “Again Ballin’” besides it’s extra playful. “Every little thing He Is aware of” lavishly ends with promising that he’ll do that shit for all times.
Not making an attempt to make it to sound like that I’m hating on the man as a result of I’ve been listening to Elcamino ever since he first signed to Griselda nearly 8 years in the past & have given him his reward within the dozen of tasks I’ve reviewed him up to now, however I’m kinda torn on this EP personally. He can very a lot sing in addition to he can rap on entice manufacturing like he can on conventional east coast sounds, it’s that the heavy-Future influences could be a little off-putting to me.
