Brand new full-length LP & the nineteenth total from Hackensack, New Jersey lyricist Crimeapple. Becoming a fan of his within the fall of 2017 along with his 4th EP Sweet Dreams together with the Big Ghost Ltd. produced full-length debut Aguardiente that subsequent spring, his profile within the underground grew exponentially from there. DJ Skizz-produced Wet Dirt, the DJ Muggs-produced Medallo, Cartagena, Breakfast in Hradec, Sin Cortar, El León produced by Preservation, theofficial Aguardiente sequel Bazuko, the Mello music Group-backed This, Is Not That produced by Apollo Brown, Rose Gold & extra not too long ago the V Don produced Bulletproof Chicken. Almost 3 months because the latter, Hanzai has arrived in time for Black Friday.

“Mastery” kicks the door down by hooking up a drumless beat recalling a time the place he was deemed greater than worthy following a efficiency in Tokyo, Japan & with by the blade whereas “Cocainerose” cloudily talks about rising out the coke sport to having his neck froze. “14hrflight” takes the increase bap route instrumentally going to get what’s his proper off the payload simply earlier than “Talmbout” that includes RLX go on the throats of the kind of individuals who don’t have any enterprise discussing smoke.

As for “Forever” produced by Billy Loman, we’ve Crime ominously speaking about touring all over the world doing essentially the most attempting to encourage main into “Zipfile” ruggedly making guap with the ziplock baggage of dope that he’s been whipping up the place his homie’s girlfriend stays at. “Bajo” strips the drums once more lighting a black & delicate over some luxurious piano chords however after “Sayonara” reunites with DJ Skizz talks about leaving a hoe who loves toxicity approach an excessive amount of, “Madamewoo” advises to image him working the sport with out utilizing his legs.

“MetroPCS” begins the ultimate leg of Hanzai explaining that elevating fingers at his crew isn’t the best way he does issues round right here whereas “1,000,000 Miles” talks about working laps across the total metropolis. “Brownbutter” together with an uncredited function incorporates a drumless soul pattern clarifying that they solely bang bitches & financial institution accounts whereas the V Don-laced nearer “Tippytoes” sends all of it off speaking about doing his time performing humble, advising one ought to’ve taken benefit at that time.

Can’t say I got here away from Hanzai having fun with it on the identical caliber as Rose Gold or Bulletproof Chicken, however the 4th & doubtless closing venture from Crimeapple this 12 months excluding the Escama collaborative EP with Primo Profit comprises loads of highs that make it price your time. Some of the manufacturing could not stick out to me as a lot as his final couple albums & each visitor performances have been satisfactory, though his lyricism stays gratifying.

Score: 7/10
