That is the thirteenth studio LP from Chicago emcee Novatore & his Goon MuSick sophomore effort. Rising as a member of the Notorious Crew, he’s additionally constructed up a formidable solo profession over almost a decade by dropping 4 EPs & an acclaimed collaborative effort with A.M. Early Morning produced by Stu Bangas known as Kingdom of Criminality on prime of all of the earlier LPs that he’s dropped alongside the way in which. Different highlights embrace Louie, Louie II, Embrace the Darkness, Portrait of a Madman, Embrace the Darkness II: Explorers of Expertise, Grasp of Morbid Creations & Dwelling within the Finish Instances, Alchemy & Black Magic and following up his Goon MuSick debut The 87 Arsonist by discussing a Brenx-produced Agoraphobia.
After the intro, the primary track “No Restraint” that includes Lord Goat is that this growth bap opener with each of them exhibiting off their prime notch lyricism whereas “Blood Pies” delivers additional down a morbid environment speaking about murdering those that can’t compete. After the “Voicemail” skit, the title monitor that includes Termanology works in additional kicks & snares pleading to be taken out the home prior “Knives” that includes Jak Tripper bringing it hardcore for two & a half minutes.
“Piano Man” hops over a piano-driven growth bap beat therefore the title admitting that he barely leaves the home likening himself to that of a black widow whereas “Blacksmith” that includes King Magnetic & Acknowledge Ali finds the trio aggressively boasting that their pens are sharper than ever earlier than. The grisly “Water Shadows” laughs off anybody who comes at them with none ability & lastly, “Killer Intuition” ends Agoraphobia by angrily speaking about his murderous tendencies.
Loosely basing it’s idea across the worry of leaving one’s dwelling, Novatore’s follow-up to The 87 Arsonist remembers the late Forged Gawd after he was killed in the course of a shootout with the Arizona police division final spring by giving the underground one more reason as to why he suits in so properly on the Goon MuSick roster. Brenx’ manufacturing right here is on par with its predecessor rooted within the conventional growth bap sound, I like that he acquired lesser company & even the cohesiveness usually.
Rating: 8/10
