Drain Gang absolutely utilize some of the hardest beats they’ve ever been given, provided by WoD. Some of the strongest material from all members.
An unflinchingly grim, disturbing and nihilistic masterpiece. Kinda meant to be digested in one sitting, but what you get is in my opinion some of the most disturbing lyricism I’ve ever heard in all of music.
This is how you do a total departure. The beats are so weird and bonkers but so good and Ugly Mane’s delivery and lyrics really make you feel like you’re right in the album cover. Current album of the year.
One of the most existential and alien albums in all of hip hop. Although it gets just a little inconsistent in the second half there’s really nothing else like this album.
Just a little rough around the edges and with even less Ugly Mane compared to the first iteration but still filled with god-tier production all around.
If you thought the production on his rap albums was good, this just blows it out of the water tbh. If more of the tracks had actual verses from Ugly this could potentially be my favorite hip hop album of all time.
This album’s just the whole package. Hard as hell bars, some of the waviest beats of all time, and a lot of versatility in the production. Absolutely one of the best of all time.
The beats are kinda cool albeit a bit rough around the edges but Ugly Mane tries this really slow singsong flow the whole time that only works sometimes. Still a really interesting atmosphere though.
