3) LOCKSMITH had the opposition on their knees praying they would never have to battle him when he dropped hardcore bars of wrath on “Bad Luck!!!” As if that wasn’t enough to make the competition throw in the towel, he had the nerve to team up with RANSOM on the track & rub the whole audio affair in everyone’s face!!! ENG laced this underground slaughterfest that finds Lock dumping bodies behind the dumpster while Ran snaps his fingers & ends your life like Thanos!!! “They ain’t know it’s levels to it.” Well, we do…’cause these two lyrical powerhouses most definitely hit the top!!!

The entire EP permeates with Gothic grandiosity and cinematic chills(via “The Lost Boys” 1987 classic)but one track side-steps the enigmatic ambiance for 90’s inspired audio heat! On “Hat Trick Swayze,” the duo have their way with words before bursting into flames and disappearing without a trace! Who d’ya think they are? Certain.Ones of course! And the tricks on you if you’re dumb enough not to listen!!!
9) DJ MATTY LITE & PURGE are snuffin’ the competition in “Broad Daylight” and offering no apologies for their actions!!! Why should they?!? When ya drop heat like this you make no excuses!!! Matty sets off a sonic minefield of explosives that Purge treads across in his bare feet!!! After murdering every MC in sight DJ DECEPTA hijacks the scene with homicidal hardcore handiwork on the 1 & 2’s!!!
10) The majestic MADSOL DESAR peers out his “Window” & makes us reflect on familiar scenes from our own daily observations!!! Over a sublime audio arrangement, listeners are transported back in time to the lyricist’s earliest origins & the experiences that helped shape the man he is today. We view an array of situations. Some good. Some bad. But every circumstance contributed greatly to his life.
Well that’s it for this week. Catch ya next time and…DON’T SLEEP!
