Bop Alloy - Chillaxation
Artist: Bop Alloy
Producer: Marcus D
Album: Bop Alloy
Label: Tamashie Creations Corp.
When you want to, say, build a bridge that won’t rust and fall apart, you use steel – an alloy of iron and carbon much more durable than either of its component parts. Similarly, when you’re looking to strike a balance of lyrical impact and smoothness conducive to maximum Chillaxation, you reach for Bop Alloy, an up-and-coming duo consisting of Baltimore rapper Substantial (previously heard on The W.W.K.Y.A. Tour) and beatsmith Marcus D.. The twosome’s collaborative Booth debut is a blissfully relaxing affair, with the Washingtonian producer serving up a shimmering, sax-driven backdrop (I feel like I should recognize that sample – anyone?) for his partner’s mellow mic work. Despite delivering his bars in a suave, downright soothing flow, Sub drops more than his fair share of blistering lines: “You’re hanging on every syllable, word, phrase and sentence / So cold, you should change my name to cryogenics” As Gucci Mane would say, “Brrr!” If you like what you’re hearing, more refreshingly chill hip-hop goodness awaits on Bop Alloy’s self-titled debut full-length, released in September and out now online.

I've been using the word "chillax" for years, so its only right that two talents individuals finally decided to make a song using the word's root. Substantial & Marcus D have an undeniable chemistry and based off this one listen I would want to delve a little further into their new project.

Nice record, but I'd really like to remove the jazz elements, speed up the tempo and make it entirely about binge drinking and being fly like various aircraft.
Kidding, of course. I don't want to use a tired phrase like "breath of fresh air", but that's exactly what this is. |
