Las Vegas producer, rapper & clothier Shaggytheairhead dropping his fifth EP with out warning. Peaking my fascinating after producing one in all my all-time favourite Ouija Macc songs “Nardwuar Glocc” again in 2018, he would again that up with 4 EPs earlier than changing into an in-house producer for Chapter 17 Records & Psychopathic Records alongside his Mythic Mindz cohort Devereaux. Shaggy dropped his debut Wakin’ Up throughout the twenty first annual Gathering of the Juggalos, which was the one Gathering I’ve ever been to & a weekend that I’ll always remember. As far because the precise music on Wakin’ Up, it’s my favourite of his to date due to how a lot he improved his lyricism & that he dabbled with a variety of sounds to indicate his influences. Grin to the Grave, Coffee, Blood Sweat Tears and Lazy & Crazy have all adopted since to equally heat reception & appears to be like to embark on a visit to a Secret World.
“Cursed” begins our exploration with a g-funk instrumental feeling like he wouldn’t make it so far as he has whereas the depressive “Never That Deep” talks about shit getting annoying to him. “Ghosts Ride” pulls a little bit inspiration from the Memphis scene sonically getting excessive in his zone main into one other g-funk lower “Relax” talks about needing to sit back out. “Animosity” embraces a increase bap vibe to debate antipathy & “I Ain’t Happy” angrily finishes the EP by dissing the gang attempting to cease his shine.
Somewhat over 15 months since he & Darby O’Trill obtained with Devereaux to ship their celebrated 10 Bandz collaborative effort, Shaggytheairhead first solo providing in over 2 years comes off The 2 Day War between Juggalo Championship Wrestling (JCW) & Game Changer Wrestling (GCW) dealing with the non-public points he’s gone via since we final heard him on Lazy & Crazy by solely killing a deft batch of beats that vary from g-funk to increase bap & Memphis rap.
Score: 8/10
