Hackensack, New Jersey lyricist Crimeapple tapping in with V Don for his 18th studio LP. Changing into a fan of his within the fall of 2017 together with his 4th EP Candy Goals together with the Huge Ghost Ltd. produced full-length debut Aguardiente that following spring, his profile within the underground grew exponentially from there. Discography standouts embrace the DJ Skizz-produced Moist Dust, the DJ Muggs-produced Medallo, Cartagena, Breakfast in Hradec & Sin Cortar. El León produced by Preservation from the start of this yr turned probably the most I’ve loved Crime’s music shortly & the official Aguardiente sequel Bazuko & the Mello Music Group-backed This, Is Not That produced by Apollo Brown & extra not too long ago Rose Gold. Over 3 months later & Bulletproof Rooster has arrived just a few days into September.

“Scrape the Pot” units the tone with a drumless piano pattern flexing his knack for customer support leading to fiends coming again for extra whereas “Railroad Avenue” goes for a jazzier path speaking about his neck being like an arcade. “Victor Charlie” takes an expensive growth bap method getting in his mafioso bag lyrically & “4.99 Particular” divides itself into 2 halves with a beat-switch within the center asking what it’s a must to floss after getting on his dignity.

T.F. & Crime hyperlink up on the drumless “Groundhog’s Day” speaking about getting cash repeatedly main into “Brazil” that includes Primo Revenue returning to the growth bap to indicate off their strict coverage of conserving their potencies excessive. “Wings” that includes Bruiser Wolf eerily unites the two to speak about needing the hen & needing to make the pay whereas “Ocean Drive” finds himself hitting the district to indicate what the wrist do.

The title monitor begins the ultimate leg of Bulletproof Rooster by stacking bread to the ceiling over an exuberant growth bap instrumental whereas “Clientele” goes off-the-dome for 105 seconds sampling soul music & spitting mafioso lyrics on high of it. “Fluegame” rawly talks about not being bestowed from his place within the underground & “Scooby Sweaters” caps all of it off with a growth bap beat combined with vocal harmonization within the background getting actual critical with it as if he already hasn’t been.

Over 3 months since Rose Gold accomplished the trilogy that Moist Dust began & Breakfast in Hradec bridged, what has already been a prolific yr for V Don continues since he can now add Crimeapple to the rising listing of names he’s produced for after Boldy James & Estee Nack respectively. What the New York producer cooks up here’s a wholesome combine between growth bap, drumless, jazz rap & chipmunk soul to again Crime’s mafiosi pen-game.
