Okay. It’s just us here, so you can tell the truth… If you weren’t hip to how much we post on him here, and you came across Slaine on the street, you would NOT assume that he was a killer in the game with these BARZ, would you? Admit it. Even if he said he was down with Statik Selektah, you’d be looking at him like, “Oh cool. So you tote crates or manage his career. Y’all are family, right?”

Then comes this BANGER! And the visuals for it. That beat work by The Arcitype AND table turn-up from Stat Diddy AND the homie Rasheed Chappell with the hook game… THEN the BARZ from Slaine bringing you pain… but it’s too late. The emcee murder already has his weapon, the M-I-C!

SLAINE – ONE DAY (ALBUM)

– @ojones1

Known by many for his pivotal part in the House Of Pain-affiliated La Coka Nostra project, this gruff wordsmith and occasional film actor always manages to come through with lyrical darts sharp enough to cut through New England winters. Slaine’s darkly skewed world view and storytelling skill set manifest throughout these dozen cuts, from the confessional invective of “Redemption” to the spiraling desperation of the anthemic narrative “The Day Before I Die.” Familiar cohorts Ill Bill and Vinnie Paz lay down reliably hard bars on “Still Got My Gun,” while boom-bap maestro Statik Selektah blesses “Trick the Trap” with a compelling jazz bass loop.
