London, England, United Kingdom emcee Ramson Badbonez teaming up with the notorious Leaf Canine for his fifteenth studio LP. A member of the Process Power, he would finally signal to Excessive Focus Data in 2013 making his debut for the label with A 12 months within the Lifetime of Oscar the Slouch that very same winter. Hypnodic, Jason Bonez, Mic Day the thirteenth, Dying Masks & Fusion would all come out underneath the Hove, East Sussex imprint with White Rabbit now turning into the seventh elevating my expectations with Leaf’s heavy involvement.
After the “Nothing Stops Him” intro, the primary tune “Hijack” is that this sample-driven increase bap opener letting y’all know what he’s all about whereas “The Nice” maintains a increase bap edge working in these horns boasting his lyrical technicality. “Extra 4 Much less” that includes Jazz T & Smellington Piff instrumentally kinda jogs my memory of Mobb Deep speaking about them being lyrically gifted till he appears to be like again on getting known as upon to take the “Grime Street” to get the place he’s at the moment sampling a piano.
“Rabbit Gap” that includes mysdiggi finds the pair tryna open everybody’s heads within the midst of them getting deeply concerned musically simply earlier than “Stolen Scrolls” will get again on the orchestral increase bap tip calling himself knowledgeable dread expressionist with a vengeance record. “Strive To not Choose” that includes Verbz soulfully discusses their judgmental free tendencies, however then “Upside Down” that includes Cymarshall Legislation talks concerning the present state of the world.
As for “Loop Holes”, we’ve got Badbonez over one other piano-boom bap instrumental kicking hardcore lyricism for a couple of minutes whereas “Soul Looking out” that includes Phoenix da Icefire speaking about them being the butterfly impact that emerged from the chrysalis. “Can’t Give Up” soulfully will get on the motivational aspect lyrically & forward of closing out with a “Wondaland” sequel, “Strike” that includes The 4 Owls offers a style of what’s to return from the quartet’s upcoming 4th album.
Marrying his road poetry with the macabre at each flip, White Rabbit is a potent reminder of Badbonez at his lucid finest & searches out the reality within the music he makes. Leaf Canine’s manufacturing gives a pitch-perfect soundtrack for Badbonez to showcase his full arsenal of multi-syllable flows, punchlines & infectious hooks as he adventures additional down the rabbit gap.
