Supa Villain Villrizon Wireless (2011, Stackhouse Ent. x DJ Dirty Money)
Been waiting on this follow up for nearly a year.
We featured some leaks from the tape throughout 2010, as well as a couple of other random Villain tracks, so it’s nice to see it all finally come together. And to a great extent, this is the Villain’s show, with only a few features from Rich Boy and some lesser known MS(?) artists sprinkled across six of the 21 tracks.
The music on here is informed by the sounds of southern rap production to be sure (cf: mid-00s ATL sn8wman music, or even the drums from Mississippi-era Banner), but also is less aggressive, more melodic, and more sample-based than straight trap records — the synths employed are used for their imitative abilities, rather than to bend, contort and destroy recognizable sounds (there’s more Powlow than Drumma here, is what I’m saying).
Honestly, just check out “Activation Fee” and go from there.
