Demons. We all fight them. Young or old, black or white; no matter who we are, or where we come from, each one of us can relate to this skirmish with the dark side. Forces that push us to do wrong, despite our hearts knowing what’s right. Of all of us, Terock may be the utmost familiar with this plight; and his poignant new banger, “Demons”, distinctly attests. Certainly, the darkness that this Florida rapper has faced throughout life has been unspeakably staggering; however, it is no match for the sparkling tines of this track’s melody. A brightness shines through “Demons”’s instrumentation, complimented by the bounce of 808s, kicks and trap snares. Brilliantly, Terock uses this canvas to paint a picture of his own internal strifes. His voice runs in broad, passionate strokes across the mix; confessing bravely to depression and suicidal thoughts that have plagued him longer than we will ever know. Nevertheless, even in the face of these hardships, this outstanding Southern emcee knows exactly who holds his key to victory: God. In that sense, “Demons” is a four-minute, modern-trap prayer to the Most High. One that expresses his regret for inviting the Devil into his life; and remembrance of God’s power to save him. It is a banger that carries its weight in spiritual gold; especially when you absorb every word he’s spoke.

The combination of Obi Khan and Thanos Beats has once again yielded greatness. Almost a year removed from the stellar offering, “THC-4”; and only months succeeding the Madison emcee’s January project, “Guerillaz”, are sixteen tracks certain to further perpetuate this duo’s underground legacy. Titled “The Obi Files: Volume II”; this long-player is as vicious and diabolical as boom-bap gets. Obi Khan’s signature, guttural inflection, laced with volcanic bars, is plentiful over a collection or Thanos Beats mixes and instrumentals. Emcees such as Thavid Ruffin, TG, Prince Po, and Thanos Beats himself (among others), appear frequently throughout the project; spicing up records such as, “Fallin’ Like Dominoes”, “Red Lights”, “Sybil”, “Flyin’ High”, and “Escapin’”. Highlighting these few songs is not a denial of the others lining this album, however. Every track on “The Obi Files: Volume Ii” is a brash declaration of Obi Khan’s evolving artistry. His beat selection is spine-chillingly evolving. His delivery, as well as lyricism, is sharpening into a clean-cutting sword; ready to carve his face into the Mount Rushmore of underground kings. With every project, Obi Khan hasn’t failed to amaze; and after “The Obi Files: Volume II” it is obvious he never will.
Listen closely to the lyrics of Papalee, and you will feel as if he is narrating your life. That is how relatable his slick rhymes, over arcade-esque melodies, and easy delivery, over throbbing 808s comes off. To say the least, this Philadelphia artist is stylistically tasteful whilst remaining tranquilly visceral; qualities that make “Just A Matter Of Time” the album-of-the-summer contender that it is. For, it is undeniable that this album is teeming with hits. Every record within the scope of this ten track release— which sees features from Datslucy, ROLLO, SZN, Jacquie Joshua, Hooligan the Demigod, and Har— is radiating with starpower. They highlight not only Papalee’s versatility; but, likewise, the rapper’s ability to create surefire bangers in any form he pleases. From the heart-rending, melancholic ballad of an intro, “Stuck In My Ways”, to the party-ready thumpers “Know The Game”, “The Woahh”, and “Come From”; as well as the trap romance of “Queen” and “On Ur Mind”; each song brings a fresher and more exhilarating sound than the last to the overall body of work. All the while giving us a glimpse into a young man’s life, unfolding night by night, in The City of Brotherly Love. While the instrumentals of this extended-play will make it unfathomably trendy; the lyrics of Papalee himself will set it far apart from its contemporaries. This artist does not make music for the sake of making music. He views the microphone as a tool for bearing his soul; and it is “Just A Matter Of Time” before that artistry is spread across the globe. Press play, and watch the glow of Philadelphia’s new hope.
