ILLtemper is a 36 12 months outdated MC from Trevose, Pennsylvania establishing himself for over a decade throughout the underground depraved shit scene by releasing a complete of 8 EPs & 10 full-lengths. He’s additionally notable for being 1/2 of the Even Heathens with King Gordy, who additionally make up 2/5 of the Wic Children. For his eleventh album nevertheless, it marks his debut for Lyrikal Snuff Productionz just a few months after the Heathens made their LSP debut with Handful of Cancel & had me hoping it might develop into an necessary assertion amongst the remainder of his solo output.
After the “INTROvert” intro, the first track “Stayed the Similar” produced by J Reno somberly begins speaking about being a misplaced one who was by no means discovered whereas the title monitor compares himself to Weapons N’ Roses frontman Axl Rose besides he’s taking antidepressants. “The Used” by the Even Heathens hops over a bluesy growth bap instrumental speaking about not ruining different folks since you’re a cunt main into “Pitch Blackness” admits to feeling like every part’s darkening round him.
Stir Loopy jumps behind the boards for the rock/growth bap crossover “Felt” taking a extra heartfelt method to the songwriting telling anybody who thinks he’s stronger than this is able to be sorely mistaken whereas “Losers” that includes Jakprogresso talks about all the time being failures swapping the guitars out for pianos. “Video games” brings these Atari-like synthesizers with kicks & snares suggesting that Mario ought to cease saving the Princess whereas “Ain’t Proper” advises to suppose twice previous to taking your individual life.
“Unease” that includes Killator comes out the gate with a rock pattern panicking like they’re trying on the present state of the inventory market whereas “Good Man” talks concerning the nicest folks dying alone over one other rock/growth bap fusion. “Orange Bottles” heads for a summery lure course speaking about taking paxil anymore & after “In Your Eyes” suggests he ought to play hardball, “Expensive Ronnie” finishes with a tearjerking open letter to himself.
It’s not one thing that I’ve publicly disclosed, however I personally have been taking Paxil ever since I used to be in grade faculty & listening to ILLtemper making an entire complete physique of labor devoted to his experiences with it while likening himself as a rockstar makes his Lyrikal Snuff Productionz debut arguably the best solo effort of his complete discography. The manufacturing maintains the consistency of Handful of Cancel & ILLtemper conceptually takes us all on a visit into the world of psychological well being drugs.
