That is the seventh EP from Washington, D.C. emcee of Nigerian descent FlyG. Correctly introducing himself to the underground final spring off his inaugural prolonged play Soulful Journey, SPCL_CHRCTRS would absolutely produce the subsequent one Serenade Symphony on the finish of February & rising French producer Drega33 helped him flip extra head with MENNBLVCK this spring. He has since dropped an EP devoted to the 10-time WCW World Tag Crew Champions & WWE Corridor of Famers Harlem Warmth, reuniting with Drega for MENNBLVCK II after going back-to-back with SHRPNDBLDS & A Righteous Story.
The title monitor begins with a drumless chipmunk soul instrumental speaking about being grateful for his persistence this Thanksgiving whereas “GO@T” works on this prominently heavy vocal pattern referencing WWE Corridor of Famer Mike Tyson. “LFNTMS” soulfully talks about his father being an enormous affect on him & a coward forcing him to an exit early whereas “TIMECOP” tells his dad that he needs that he obtained to spend extra time with him.
“CMBKHM” begins the 2nd half with crooning sampling chops speaking concerning the idea of returning house whereas “B.R.T.$.” speaking about his music being his calling & being the sort to wind up in your favourite hip hop websites. The soulful “T.P.O.P.” confesses to issues getting hectic lacking his father & elevating daughters of his personal now simply earlier than “SHWNPRV” ends the EP making the game-winning landing with a chipmunk soul outro.
Harlem Warmth & SHRPNDBLDS had been each pleasant for their very own totally different causes however contemplating that MENNBLVCK turned my introduction to FlyG this previous summer time, I might’ve solely anticipated MENNBLVCK II to affix the ranks of it’s predecessor & I can affirm that it very a lot does. Drega33’s drumless manufacturing focuses much less across the jazz rap components of the unique & prioritizing the chipmunk soul undertones, getting extra private than beforehand when it comes to penmanship.
