Even Heathens is a horrorcore duo consisting of Pennsylvania emcee ILLtemper & Detroit veteran King Gordy. Forming in 2021 off an eponymous full-length debut & the Horrorcore Stories EP, they might go on to place out a sophomore effort Unpleasant Never Dies & the Odd Gods trilogy till forming the Wic Kids with Donnie Menace & Grewsum respectively final summer time. Signing to Lyrikal Snuff Productionz a couple of months in the past for a 2-album deal, the Heathens are able to make their debut for the label.
The first track “Dig” produced by J. Reno after the intro made for a cavernously darkish opener speaking about not discovering what you had been hoping for going deep of their minds whereas the guitar/lure crossover “Canceled” addresses the subject of cancel tradition, which Cormega referred to as an abused energy & he wasn’t fallacious. Stir Crazy reunites with the Heavens for a rap rock sequel to “King” bringing that horror music to your audio system whereas “Choices” talks about selecting 1 of 6,000,000 methods to die.
Insane Poetry joins ILLtemper & Gordy on “You Think?” as a method of responding to these speculate they’re loopy over a growth bap instrumental with some vibraphones simply earlier than “Can’t Hide” replaces the vibraphones with pianos to speak about them being unavoidable. “Fear Us” blends growth bap & horrorcore lyricism collectively explaining why they need to be feared whereas “Grime” that includes Nasaan & Seuss Mace finds the quartet cautioning to not disturb them.
After the shock worth “Coby Gets Raped” skit, “Tu Weered” that includes Killator will get the trio collectively for a lure joint speaking about how they’re uncomfortable to be round & the closing observe “Lot Lizards” closes the Even Heathens’ debut for LSP with 1 extra growth bap observe with a little bit of a funkier twist to it describing sexual relations with these precise kind of ladies feeling paying homage to Necro’s intercourse raps relating to the extent of vulgarity.
Only midway by way of the last decade with 6 LPs & an EP deep, the Heathens introduce themselves as the most recent members of Team Snuff by carrying on the Experimental Drugz sequence with their most interesting work collectively thus far along with elevating my expectations for his or her subsequent providing beneath the noticed & axe. Stir Crazy & J. Reno each kills it with their shares of the manufacturing & lyrically, each ILLtemper & King Gordy are at their filthiest.
Score: 8/10
