Killa Kounty Kartel been making waves for a minute and if
you’ve been sleeping then it’s time to wake up. Crill Gates already blessed us
with greatness through his tape, Gates
Way to Hell, and now Blizzy Blanco steps up and further proves why this
crew is not to be left unnoticed as his powerful effort, Son of Anarchy, is a fine display of street lyricism along with epic
production which work well together to paint a vivid picture of the life of a
hustler.
Wasting no time, Blizzy jumps right into “The Underdog” and
gives us a short bio of who we’re being introduced to over a smooth soundscape.
The powerful production slides in on “Progress & Profit” which features a
catchy hook and a brilliant concept, lessons that everyone should learn. Not
slowing down for even a second, “The Beginning” finds guest Mulan delivering an
uplifting hook over a stadium ready beat while Blizzy dreams about greatness
with a humble confidence.
One of the early highlights on the tape is the “Off Safety”
3mix. Slick gun talk and boastful bars as Blizzy easily hangs with the original
USDA artists on this gem and honestly makes you forget for a minute who even
originally made this joint. The Killa Kounty Kartel guests start showing up on “Men
of Mayhem”, which is easily another highlight as all three deliver some of the slickest
verses with quotables all over the place. “Crunch Time” once again finds Crill
Gates paying the 2 guard to Blizzy’s always on point flow all over a horror
movie beat with haunting keys.
What’s great about Son
of Anarchy is that there really aren’t any skippable tracks. As each track
finishes and you feel like the next one has to slow down the tape at least
somewhat, Blizzy just keeps delivering bangers, as is evidenced by “AMC” being
no less hype than “Crunch Time” or any of the tracks preceding it. But as every
true man has a heart too, “Without” is a track that touches on the topic of
females, as Blizzy reflects on a woman he loved and lost.
And just like that, having put your ears through a fine sampling
of great street rap accompanied by amazing production and a slew of Killa
Kounty Kartel guests, all showcasing why this crew simply can’t be ignored, Son of Anarchy concludes, but not
without a couple bonus gems. Blizzy holds it down on the Outro, delivering
knowledge along with a manifesto of sorts, complete with encouraging samples
from Shawn Carter to allow those to grow with Blizzy as he sees the large
picture in life. “The Underdog” remix allows Don Gang and Molotiv Blizz to
shine over the same beat that Blizzy blessed earlier. Finally, we get “Dirty
Harry” which is just a straight up raw track over a beat that is reminiscent of
“I Shot Ya” with the same grittiness and solid rapping.
Overall, Son of Anarchy is a great tape. If this is any
indication of what Killa Kounty Kartel has to offer then do not sleep on these
guys. With Crill Gates setting the tone, Blizzy Blanco has only stepped up to
further prove that this is a solid collective of great rappers who definitely
deserve some shine and are carving their own lane in the street rap game with
brilliant narratives over epic production culminating in great music.
