I've got two SICK tracks from Elucid, and instead of just writing about one and not giving props to the other, allow me to break down both cuts in one post. New shit from the Lessondary Overlord!Elucid "Freshman Friday" (prod. by Brizzo): This is a cut that I've had for a bit. As Gutta says, this ain't "luxury rap" - it's straight to the jugular with a machete rap. That beat from Brizzo is just too ill - it's a pretty tasty sample, and the way he cooked it up, where its simple enough to be dynamic on its own, but when you add Elucid's signature voice to the mix, mixing abstract visions and precision cut darts? Shit, I've been WAITING to drop this one on the masses, trust. Blowin' everything you're listening to out of the water...
Elucid "Mr. Leviathan" (prod. by Inko): It's been a minute since we heard "Run Away", the first leaked offering from Gutta and Inko, and this one is my personal favorite of the two. It delves into a dubbed out zone (that bassline is hypnotic), and allows Elucid to really experiment. Peep the digital screw and edits thrown on his vocals randomly - this is acid rap. "I'm finished breaking atoms, now it's time to split wigs" morphs from a line in the first verse to a true mantra for how niggas wanna attack the game. Take it in blood, get down or lay down. The shit needs to change, people, and when you hear MORE artists who are freely blending sounds like this in a few years, we won't get too angry if you don't throw a mention.
Know that we know, though. OH, and don't get me started on Cap.One...
