kidd bosston, nino, e darockstar, yungin & numoney - “other side”
unfortunately cannot find a producer credit but what a fucking smoker of a beat: dirty bass stalking behind a laser matrix of 70s horror synths, drums that trigger the headbang reflex with ruthless accuracy. (feels kinda like “street certified” 2099.) the rapping, though not quite such a rush, is good too—highlights include: kidd bosston’s long A’s (nearly kyleon tier), e darockstar’s ragged t-rock bark, yungin’s bone thugs ish keening. it was the lattermost that led me here, having initially caught my ear on t.e.c. & maine’s “aw mane”. his voice is very nasal but smooth & rounded as a pebble and his delivery is well-tailored to it. he shines on this aching plea, and here he is harmonizing with himself over the triggerman beat.
