ILLtemper is a 36 12 months outdated MC from Trevose, Pennsylvania establishing himself for over a decade throughout the underground depraved shit scene by releasing a complete of 8 EPs & 10 full-lengths. He’s additionally notable for being 1/2 of the Even Heathens with King Gordy, who additionally make up 2/5 of the Wic Kids. For his eleventh album nevertheless, it marks his debut for Lyrikal Snuff Productionz just a few months after the Heathens made their LSP debut with Handful of Cancel & had me hoping it might turn out to be an essential assertion amongst the remainder of his solo output.
After the “INTROvert” intro, the first music “Stayed the Same” produced by J Reno somberly begins speaking about being a misplaced one who was by no means discovered whereas the title observe compares himself to Guns N’ Roses frontman Axl Rose besides he’s taking antidepressants. “The Used” by the Even Heathens hops over a bluesy increase bap instrumental speaking about not ruining different individuals since you’re a cunt main into “Pitch Blackness” admits to feeling like every thing’s darkening round him.
Stir Crazy jumps behind the boards for the rock/increase bap crossover “Felt” taking a extra heartfelt method to the songwriting telling anybody who thinks he’s stronger than this could be sorely mistaken whereas “Losers” that includes Jakprogresso talks about all the time being failures swapping the guitars out for pianos. “Games” brings these Atari-like synthesizers with kicks & snares suggesting that Mario ought to cease saving the Princess whereas “Ain’t Right” advises to assume twice previous to taking your personal life.
“Unease” that includes Killator comes out the gate with a rock pattern panicking like they’re trying on the present state of the inventory market whereas “Nice Guy” talks concerning the nicest individuals dying alone over one other rock/increase bap fusion. “Orange Bottles” heads for a summery lure route speaking about taking paxil anymore & after “In Your Eyes” suggests he ought to play hardball, “Dear Ronnie” finishes with a tearjerking open letter to himself.
It’s not one thing that I’ve publicly disclosed, however I personally have been taking Paxil ever since I used to be in grade faculty & listening to ILLtemper making an entire whole physique of labor devoted to his experiences with it while likening himself as a rockstar makes his Lyrikal Snuff Productionz debut arguably the best solo effort of his whole discography. The manufacturing maintains the consistency of Handful of Cancel & ILLtemper conceptually takes us all on a visit into the world of psychological well being drugs.
Score: 8/10
