Buffalo, New York spoken phrase artist Keisha Plum now based mostly in Atlanta, Georgia releasing her 2nd EP & the primary in virtually a decade. Notable for her spoken phrase poetry that you would be able to simply discover on a plethora of Griselda Records initiatives prior to now decade of them taking on the underground, some could not know of right here placing out an EP of her personal within the spring of 2016 known as Tears of Honey & is dropping Trouble solely 48 hours after Benny the Butcher’s latest mixtape Summertime Butch 2.
“P.P.P. (Peaches, Plums, Pineapples)” was a soulful intro speaking about being in tropical paradise & suggesting to look deep into her eyes to see the villain in her whereas “W.W.G.D. (What Would Griselda Do?”) solutions the titular query over a relaxing out instrumental by reaffirming that they’ll fireplace the sticks first earlier than they shoot you. “All Blvvdy” strikes on from there speaking about leaving crisp White Forces coated in blood previous to the jazzy “Write Something” instrumental interlude.
Starting the 2nd half of Trouble, “AK Spray” provides me a grandiose vibe instrumentally to speak about being a Goddess by day & her poetry hitting y’all like an assault rifle whereas “Lamboramo” works in an orchestral pattern admitting that Lil’ Kim of the Junior M.A.F.I.A. was once her position mannequin when she was youthful & wanting a purple coloured Lamborghini. The title monitor closes the EP with heavy pianos speaking about her doing nicely lately understanding just a few folks she considers Lucifer in jest.
Trouble comes solely 7 & a half months since that posthumous DMX spoken phrase EP Let Us Pray: Chapter X final winter & regardless of Warryn Campbell’s manufacturing on the latter being superior compared, there’s no query that Keisha’s recap on the previous quarter of a century recalling the ache & battle she endured is extra considerable giving hardcore Griselda followers just a little of her story utterly resetting herself within the course of.
Score: 8/10
