That is the twentieth EP from Dallas, Texas emcee Nowaah the Flood. Breaking out in the summertime of 2018 by releasing his first EP Trill Life Mathematiks across the similar time as Nas’ eleventh album NASIR totally produced by 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 embody 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 and at last the Kyo Itachi-produced Sudan Samurai Scrolls. Nonetheless, he & Stu Bangas are celebrating Thanksgiving by laying out Plans of the Diligent.
“On King David” is that this hardcore 86 second intro speaking about being the one to rumble with & saying fuck the common-or-garden shit since others be clockin’ his fashion whereas “Don’t Get Spooked Now” takes the uncanny increase bap route instrumentally cautioning everybody to not get frightened. “The Standards” goes for a luxuriously uncooked vibe altogether likening the EP to 80s dope whereas “To the Chest” samples a piano to speak about lyrical devastation.
In the meantime on “Knowledge of the Ages”, we have now Nowaah soulfully disses all of the false prophets within the sport today simply earlier than “The Hellfire”aggressively pays tribute to each 12 O’Clock & the Ol’ Soiled Bastard. “Breaking Day” acknowledges that he’s by no means taken an L when working with Stu main into “1 Probability” brings the keys again within the equation to speak about nonetheless having his distinct grit. “Hold a Banga on Me” finishes by holding a heater on him even when he’s locked down in cellblock 3.
Tinted with Biblical references all through in time for the vacation season in Nowaah the Flood’s inimitable trend, Stu Bangas supplies the antidote to drumless beats & quiet lo-fi sounds for the faithless to seek out solace within the gritty tales of the streets Nowaah so expertly tells on behalf of those that’re both useless or locked behind bars doing life sentences & unable to inform their very own tales because of the statutes of limitation not passing but.
