Hand Over Fist is the latest project album to come out of the Doomtree camp and features the Murder Maker, Mictlan on raps and beats by the currently untouchable Lazerbeak on their self titled effort. With the Doomtree crew album showcasing exactly what the Minnesotan crew are all about, Mictlan kicks the driver of the run away train out of the cabin and puts a brick on the accelerator.
It’s hard to imagine how Mike could take the level higher than he slammed down on False Hopes’ Hot Monotony or Game Over [Go Big Or Go Home] from the crew album, but somehow he manages it. Able to balance power with brains, this album is like a weightlifter grabbing you by the neck and slamming you against the wall, whilst getting in your face about the state of South American economies and there is simply no let up throughout the 13 track record.
Lazerbeak has proved over the past few years that he can switch his beats up, he can strip them down and get melancholy or he can bang some horns in. On this record he goes for the jugular from the very start and makes sure you are constantly slapping your hand against your head in astonishment. Whilst he brings huge drums in on every song, he also makes sure that when you slip the headphones on, you can pick out intricate little details, giving the music a depth that bores into you more and more with every listen.
The track you can hear by clicking above is Suicide Jimmy Snuffa and it gives a perfect example of what you can expect when Hand Over Fist drops at the end of September.
If you was I, supafly, if I was you, suicide slams Mictlan, and you know what? He ain’t wrong.
Abjekt.
