The Doppelgangaz’ 12th EP “Still Left” Experiments With a G-Funk Sound Once More (EP Review)

This is the 12th EP from Orange County, New York duo The Doppelgangaz. Consisting of MCs/producers Matter ov Fact & EP, they’ve gone on to make waves in the underground by dropping a total of 8 full-length albums as well as 11 EPs & 6 beat tapes. Standouts include their breakout sophomore effort Lone Sharks, the follow-up Hark, their 5th album Dopp HoppAaaaggghhBlack Cloak LifestyleWent Left. Been almost a couple years since the latter embarking on a west coast sound as opposed to their roots & they’ve decided to hit us with a sequel to it.

After the “JO VM” intro, the title track was a g-funk opener showing their love for the sunshine state once again whereas “All in Your Mind” works in a piano/boom bap instrumental talking about taking it all in stride. “Do It Like We” brings the funk influences back in the fold boasting that nobody can do shit on their level while “Would’ve Had a Hit” is a g-funk heavy stoner’s ballad. “Too Too Much” caps it all off with 1 final g-funk joint to play when you’re out in the weekends.

Continuing the G Pack saga in the 23 months since they initially Went Left, The Doppelgangaz once again shift away from the traditional boom bap style of the Groggy Pack Entertainment founders’ home turf in favor of drawing inspiration from the west coast scene once again embracing the g-funk production with ease & carrying over the original’s playful subject matter.

Score: 8/10

Pre Kai Ro – Glo Up (EP)

Following his latest single ‘Glo Up’ single, Egyptian sensation pre kai ro delivers a string of hits on his 7-Track EP of the same title as he incorporates elements of Hip Hop, R&B and Afrobeats to create a first person recollection of his journey within the world of music. Touching on elements of love, loss and self-evaluation, kai ro’s project plays out as a bittersweet coming of age story of “glowing up” and moving on from a past persona to achieve his current unique and coherent sound. With features from artists like sobhhï and Prznt and production by Don Fuego, olsem and kosei, the 25-minute EP consists of a fully developed pre kai ro showcasing his strengths regarding melody, flow and lyrical ability. The result is an undeniable emotional project displaying both bravado and vulnerability within the artist’s journey.

With a massive 2019, the young star is ready to takeover all of 2020. With a unique voice, tone and growing fan base, the Egyptian native is making quite a name for himself across the globe. The artists versatility might be one of his most interesting traits, leaving it very hard to ever put pre kai ro in a box or label him as a particular type of artist. Sonically speaking, pre kai ro sets himself apart from the pack, while his music undoubtedly speaks for itself, he continues to stray away from the gimmicks and clout like attempts at fame that most artists choose to involve themselves in. At such a young age it would be foolish to say that we have yet to even hear the best of pre kai ro. Racking up millions this past year, pre kai ro is set out to cement his name in the music world.

Don’t sleep on this one and make sure to follow the artist on social media at @prekairo.

Lil Nas X has managed to snag the hearts and ears of listeners with his breakout smash “Old Town Road” and with the pressure on him to follow up the huge hit, a new EP is now available to the masses. With his debut project 7, the Atlanta artist bends genres to his will to good effect surprisingly enough.

Opening with the Billy Ray Cyrus remix version of “Old Town Road,” the song moves to the current single “Panini” with production from Take a Daytrip with Dot da Genius on the help out. Other aside from Cyrus on “Old Town Road,” the EP’s only other feature is Cardi B on the country-tinged trap track “Rodeo” and Nas X shifts gears once again on the dancy “Bring U Down” before ending the project with the original version of his debut single.

Lil Nas X has managed to craft a quick-hit project that covers all the bases of HIp-Hop, pop, rock, and country without sounding out of place, a huge feat in itself. Check out the stream of 7 below.

DMVC BLVCK – GEKYUME (EP)

22 yr old artist from Charlotte NC DMVC BLVCK, just recently moved to LA to pursue music, I like to experiment with different sounds an consider myself pretty versatile when it comes to my artistic process and creative approach, Not many songs of mine will sound like others as I like to explore other genres in hopes to make pieces of work for all different types of audiences.

I just dropped a ep called “Gekyume” a word created by artist xxxtentacion which means the next level of thinking, which is something I’ve always felt and thought of myself in comparison to my peers. The project contains real life experiences an sacrifices I’ve made to move from my comfortable home in Charlotte NC across the country to LA California in pursuit of my dreams. I live a lifestyle that most can’t relate to but for those who can I feel they will resonate with it most.
