O.T. the Real Gets araabMUZIK to Match Their Intensity on Philly MC’s Black Soprano Family Debut “Zombie” (Album Review)

This is the 5th full-length LP from Philadelphia emcee O.T. the Real. Starting up in 2016 after coming home from prison & dropping his debut single “Papercuts”, his profile began to grow from there after showcasing his skills on radio stations as well as his a discography currently consisting of 4 albums accompanied by a mixtape & 7 EPs up to this point. Standouts include the Heatmakerz-produced 3rd EP The Irishman, the DJ Green Lantern-produced 3rd album Broken Glass that dropped on my 25th birthday & his previous LP the Statik Selektah produced Maxed Out. I haven’t covered his music since then but he’s dropped his debut mixtape No Matter What & a total of 3 EPs: Desperation of DecemberIt’s Almost Over & Red Summer. All of which were hit or miss for me personally so when it was announced that O.T. was finally signing to Black Soprano Family Records/MNRK Music Group & enlisting araabMUZIK to fully prelude his debut for the Buffalo indie label Zombie, it raised my expectations significantly.

“If They Coulda, They Woulda” is a rugged 103 second boom bap opener having all the perfect samples of the dope that he be producing whereas “Turning Stones” shifts gears into trap territory dedicating this to all his homies who got it their own way. “The Crown” featuring an opening verse from Benny the Butcher & Elcamino on the hook lavishly talks about wearing the titular object on their rollies leading into the spacey trap flavored “Strong Survive” talking about only those who have strength will prosper.

Conway the Machine slides through on the jazzy “Just Different” cautioning that it ain’t the same when it’s you being the one to come & get, but then “Certain Things” featuring 38 Spesh addresses specific topics that they don’t even talk about over an eerie loop hooked up with these kicks & snares. “Ice Baby” takes a groovier route instrumentally working in some hi-hats too showing how he hits it with the ice just before “Blood Stains” featuring Rome Streetz drearily returns to the boom bap talking about having to wash the streets to remove the stains from it.

“Whole Shabang” featuring Amir Ali is an alluring trap start to the final leg of the LP comparing this music shit to the coke exchange prior to the trillwave-inducing “Anemic” featuring LIHTZ talking about how homie only had 1 life & he played with it rather than just staying with it. “JJ Reddick” picks things up comparing himself to the Orlando Magic player of the same name over a glamorous boom bap beat that is until “Fade Away” ends O.T.’s debut with B$F on a dreary note with kicks & snares talking about how you never know when death’s gonna aim your way.

As someone who started following O.T. about 2 & a half years ago when The Irishmen dropped, Zombie is his strongest project since Maxed Out & easily one of the best to come out of the Black Soprano Family camp this year as he is a more than welcoming addition to the roster. araabMUZIK’s production is noticeably more consistent than the mixtape & trilogy of EPs we’ve gotten from O.T. in the last couple years as they go down to the streets with one another to match their intensity.

Score: 8/10

AraabMuzik & 50 Cent Allegedly Call Out Swizz Beatz: “You Already Know Who Stole That S**t”

AraabMuzik

New York producer AraabMuzik and 50 Cent are “this” close to blowing hip-hop heads away. SOHH has received footage from an inside source showing the hitmaker and G-Unit boss together suggesting shady business practices going down.

In the new clip, Araab and 50 allegedly suggest someone is responsible for not giving Araab credit on producing major hits.

The inside source also provided context on the clip’s backstory and why hitmaker Swizz Beatz is the real target.

50 Cent speaks on how Swizz took credit on 3+ singles – “Pistol On My Side” featuring Lil Wayne, “25 Soldiers” featuring Young Thug and Something Dirty/Pic Got Us featuring Kendrick Lamar, Jadakiss and Styles P.” – on his Poison album which was produced by Araab. It’s said that Araab’s production is 90% of the album. He also speaks about how Kanye stole Araab’s idea of the MPC after various studio sessions. Kanye stole the MPC live for the awards show. The same thing he did to Drake versus Pusha-T. Using others creations and ideas against them. (SOHH)

Last year, Araab talked about his involvement on Swizz’s recently released Poison album.

“I’ve been in the studio a lot with Swizz Beatz. You know that’s my mentor. That’s my guy. So he’s working on his album called Poison. I got a lot of records on that. It’s crazy. It’s gonna be a game-changer for a lot of reasons and lot of big people on there spitting. A lot of heavy hitters. You know how Swizzy does. … Yeah, he’s influenced me lot throughout my career. I’ve always looked up to him. His sound, the way he puts the beats together, the way he plays keys. He’s been a big mentor of mine and I’ve learned a lot from him. He’s always told me to be a student of the game and always learn about everything. To not be scared and hold back, you know what I’m saying? He’s hands on with everything. So I’ve been blessed to watch him in the studio.” (XXL Mag)

A couple years ago, AraabMuzik and Swizzy went in-in with an epic live beat battle.
