Transferring Base O.T. is an east coast hip hop duo consisting of Fuego Base & O.T. the Actual. The latter of whom has been making noise within the underground for the previous a number of years now whether or not or not it’s The Irishmanor Maxed Out & the opposite made his debut over a 12 months in the past signing to Black Soprano Household Information & turning into Hartford, Connecticut’s Greatest Since Camby. O.T. finally signed to B$F, enlisting araabMUZIK to provide his debut for the label Zombie final fall. Quick ahead 8 months later, he & Fuego are teaming as much as put out their debut collectively.
After the “Actual Sopranos” intro, the primary track “Arithmetic” begins off the album leaping over a uncooked increase bap instrumental speaking about each dummy eager to be an earner in addition to 2 rappers getting caught 1 evening & it wasn’t them whereas “Battle Scars” that includes Benny the Butcher finds the trio morbidly cautioning that those that suppose they’re secure are executed in reality. “Hometeam” retains it increase bap speaking about leaping bail & breaking the bond whereas everybody else was enjoying Pokémon, however then “Our bodies” goes rap rock to catch 1 physique after one other.
“Overpass” that includes Rick Hyde tensely advises to let the junkies free because it’s already rampant out right here main into “Pirouette” that includes Allstar da Nice grimily speaking a few brick that’s all pure & a bitch breaking her neck after taking a sniff. “John Doe” that includes Sule brings the trio collectively over kicks & snares airing out dudes driving their women’ automobiles like they personal it themselves simply earlier than “BrownStone” aggressively tells the listener it’s both us or them & to select a aspect. “Keith Sweat” ends the LP ruggedly detailing how robust the coke is.
These guys have all the time crossed paths with each other since clearly they’re each signed to the identical label, so I wasn’t against the concept of bringing each of them collectively all through the length of a complete album & hopefully Transferring Base O.T.’s debut right here is the primary of extra to return. The manufacturing is constantly centered across the conventional east coast increase bap sound, 75% of the options deliver their very own taste to the desk & every MC elevates each other lyrically.
