Right here we’ve the ninth full-length solo LP from Philadelphia underground veteran Vinnie Paz. Breaking out because the MC of Jedi Thoughts Methods & the chief of the Military of the Pharaohs collective, he put out his first 2 solo albums Season of the Murderer & God of the Serengeti in 2010 & 2012 respectively till returned in 2016 with The Cornerstone of the Nook Retailer. The Ache Collector would turn out to be my favourite of his since his first 2 however since as above so under, Paz has been staying constant by delivering a brand new solo effort yearly. Tortured within the Title of God’s Unconditional Love spawned a trilogy & All Are Visitors within the Home of God continued it, just for it to come back to a detailed on God Despatched Vengeance.
After the “Abudadein” intro, the primary music “Shepherd’s Rod” is that this soulful increase bap opener courtesy of Hobgoblin speaking about slapping a couple of rappers due to them shifting backwards whereas “2 Knights Compelled” produced by Proof asks if he has to inform anybody time & time once more that they’re flat out wack. “Bulldozer” that includes Younger Buck darkly makes it clear neither one among them try to be righteous in any approach because of Stu Bangas whereas “Head of David” ruggedly talks about being the actual unhealthy man.
In poor health Invoice & Lord Goat joins Paz on “Acid Tooth” aggressively venting what it was like for them to be born into ache simply earlier than the August Fanon-laced “Timetravel_0” talks about everybody adapting if it comes all the way down to him having to drop a physique. “Megaton Swords” that includes Cappadonna groups as much as take intention at sucka MCs collectively main into “Rafiki Books” speaking about studying to take a stand as an alternative of taking THE stand.
“Excellent Enemy” reunites with C-Lance behind the boards telling all his rivals to be shifting quietly going ahead since every thing his squad be smoking is loud simply earlier than “Battle Scars (Pharaoh Overlords)” comes by with this uncooked ass AotP posse reduce. “Chico’s Bail Bonds” ominously continues ahead having the sensation that someone’s gonna find yourself dying tonight, however then “All Weapons Full Ammo” that includes Onyx finds the trio taking pictures shit up collectively.
Sick Jacken seems on the rugged “Sacrificio (De Muerte)” to ship pictures in the direction of any man’s approach whereas “Heavy Chains” hauntingly talks about being afraid of himself. “Wings of Azrael” that includes Napoleon da Legend suggests for everybody to bop with the wolves whereas “Mao’s Battle on Sparrows” talks about there much less Indians & extra thieves lately. “Noise Drug” that includes Boob Bronx & Acknowledge Ali ends with all 3 of them coming for the weak.
Though the Jacinto’s Praying Mantis EP from final summer time was a minor step down from the earlier installments of the God trilogy, I nonetheless loved it as a prelude & the ultimate chapter of the saga finishes it off the way in which it began. The manufacturing is a mixture of established veterans & lesser recognized beatsmiths on the come up focusing much less on the lure parts of its predecessors in favor of a normal hardcore hip hop route.
