That is the eighth studio LP from Philadelphia emcee O.T. the Actual. Getting his begin within the underground again in 2016 after coming house from jail & dropping his debut single “Papercuts”, his profile started to develop from there after showcasing his expertise on radio stations in addition to dropping 7 albums in addition to a mixtape & his final 7 EPs. My favorites being the Heatmakerz-produced third EP The Irishman & the DJ Inexperienced Lantern-produced third album Damaged Glass that dropped on my twenty fifth birthday & the Statik Selektah produced Maxed Out. No Matter What, Desperation of December, It’s Virtually Over & Pink Summer season had been all hit and miss for me till O.T. lastly signed to Black Soprano Household Data & enlisted araabMUZIK for Zombie to crucial acclaim. Put together for Battle & Pale Horse had been okay, following up Shifting Base O.T.’s eponymous debut confirmed enchancment as did the Nickel Plated produced Value of Dwelling, so Nickel returning for The Satan You Know solely is smart.

“GOATS” grimly begins with this growth bap opener warning to observe what you say round him since you would possibly wind up lifeless due to it afterward sooner or later whereas “Silverspoon” morbidly retains it within the basement instrumentally speaking about making it out on his personal. The beat on “Wall” kinda provides me a Griselda really feel to it giving reward to the plug who helped him get into his present place whereas “Countryfried” that includes Smoke DZA cops a turkey on the low with out realizing what it took.

As for “Highland”, we’ve got O.T. over an uncannily uncooked instrumental counsel to observe who you servin’ simply earlier than “Eyes” ruggedly demand you present him the product & the bread proper on the spot. “Insane” maintains the growth bap sound speaking about staying exterior trappin’ for what his main into “Talez” taking concerning the tales of a hustler & wanting others to have his again whether or not it’s proper or improper.

“Satan” aggressively kicks off the ultimate leg of The Satan You Know with O.T. getting proper again in his zone over this rap rock/growth bap crossover whereas “Pals” that includes Dun Dealy finds the two speaking about being unable to enter Canada & having homies out in Mexico. The music “Rattling” is a dreary one reflecting on a homie texting him saying he wanted to speak to him & “62” ends by explaining his come up was a dream come true.

Each You Are Who You Eat With & Value of Dwellingstay high quality our bodies of labor inside what’s already a formidable discography for O.T., except The Satan You Know can now be included throughout dialog. Nickel Plated’s manufacturing for a very good run of it primarily stands out as being primarily based round growth bap locking in with the Philly standout for an additional spherical of stress.

Rating: 8/10
