Here we’ve the fifth EP from York, Pennsylvania rapper Mikahl Lawless. Introducing himself in the summertime of 2019 off his debut EP Pen to Paper, he would go on to observe it up with Overture for the Ill & Broken Hearted in addition to 13 & Kisses to Nowhere till Cody Manson made him a member of his Trife Life collective. Cody ultimately launched Mikahl to Scum, impressing The Gorefather sufficient to provide him his personal cope with Lyrikal Snuff Productionz & introduce himself as a part of the roster on Gangri-La. Commemorating the 1-year anniversary of The Snuff Gremlin later this weekend, he’s ending LSP’s yr by releasing Cult.

“Ash” begins with a entice steel intro speaking about what‘s left of him being blackened whereas “Cold Snow” blends this cloudy backdrop & live drumming telling how he’s feeling on the within. “Ghost” reaches the midway level by throwing it again to LINKIN PARK’s earlier output whereas the title monitor embraces a synth-pop vibe singing to bleed out beside him. “Prey” shifts again in nu steel turf evaluating himself amongst the hunted & the identical could be stated concerning the outro “In Absence”, singing about him wishing he discovered nothing.

Many of the previews sounded nothing like Gangri-La & The Snuff Gremlin in any way, which gave me the impression of Mikahl Lawless venturing out artistically all through the length of Cult & he does it properly sufficient to the purpose the place I can confidently say that it might be the boldest musical assertion he’s ever made. The manufacturing’s extra versatile exploring entice steel, nu steel & synthpop along with the horrorcore lyrics being primarily sung versus rapped.

Score: 8/10
