Dallas, Texas emcee Nowaah the Flood surprise-releasing his twenty third EP on Bandcamp. Breaking out in the summertime of 2018 by releasing his first EP Trill Life Mathematiks across the similar time as Nas’ eleventh album NASIR absolutely produced by Ye or the Nazi previously generally known as Kanye West, he would go on to drop his final 19 EPs together with The Nowaah & the Dewer’s eponymous debut album and roughly 6 correct full-lengths. Standouts for me personally embrace the DirtyDiggs-produced Non-public Inventory, the Estee Nack collaborative effort Planted Seeds, The Infallible, the Stu Bangas-produced Respectfully, the Giallo Level-produced Proper Over Left & it’s sequel, the DJ D-Types-produced Crème de la Crème, the Kyo Itachi-produced Sudan Samurai Scrolls & not too long ago Plans of the Diligent final Thanksgiving alongside Beluga roughly a month in the past. Giallo Level coming again for The Anomaly caught my consideration & I needed to give it a pay attention.

“Afwaan” is that this drumless intro reflecting on Ye biting the Trill Life Mathematiks art work for NASIR equally to how Maxo Kream has accused Ye of biting the Punken art work for Bully whereas “The Psychological” takes the increase bap route instrumentally talkin’ that science to every & each considered one of us. “Hate to Be You” works in some tubas & bagpipes admitting the state of illness his thoughts is at whereas “Sazon” hits all people with the Shaman circulate.

To start The Anomaly’s last half, “Fortune 500” ruggedly talks about being an authorized artwork stealer who’s onerous to determine & has by no means fronted placing it on God main into the aptly-named “Menace Anthem” darkly fuses hardcore hip hop & increase bap each aesthetically & lyrically. “The Meek” means that there gained’t be an extra time for anybody attempting to take him on making it clear to remain catching Ws in rap battles & the ultimate tune “Revelation of the Sundanese” feels slightly unfinished after beginning it off with a verse connected onto an half baked outro.

Apart from that, I don’t actually have some other complaints about this EP since a overwhelming majority of the fabric right here throughout the 20 minute run turns the back-to-back caliber of high quality underground hip hop that Plans of the Diligent & Beluga each needed to provide right into a 3-peat. Giallo Level’s manufacturing is a constant mix of drumless & increase bap with Nowaah dealing with all of the performances by himself as a substitute of getting only one characteristic like he did final month on Beluga equally to Plans of the Diligent not having any visitors.
