Gangrene - Drink Up
Artist: Gangrene
Featuring: Roc Marciano
Producer: The Alchemist
Album: Vodka & Ayahuaska
Label: Decon
As you’d expect from a group that calls itself Gangrene, the music that’s come from The Alchemist and Oh No‘s joint efforts has been darker than a black hole and dirtier than Gutter Water. But on new single Drink Up the duo switch things up substantially, crafting a dancefloor ready jam guaranteed to be a hit at expensive nightclubs everywhere. I’m sorry, I’m just kidding. Really had you for a second there, huh? Gangrere is as rough as ever on Drink Up; this one is paired best with black label whiskey, not Patron shots. In addition to doing double duty and grabbing the mic for a Marmaduke–referencing verse, Alchemist lays down a distorted, dystopian beat more likely to spark bar fights than dance battles. Also putting in work on the mic is Oh No, who somehow manages to make even a Phil Collins shout out sound tough, and Roc Marciano, who’s no stranger to The DJBooth guest verses on unf**kwitable tracks. Fans can expect to hear much more nihilistic hip-hop, and absolutely no auto-tuned club jams, on Gangrene’s upcoming album Vodka & Ayahuaska, dropping this Tuesday, January 24, and available for pre-order now.

Gangrene is some real gutter, raw, street sh*t. If that is your thing, you'll love it. If you like Wiz Khalifa radio-ready jams, not so much.

"Rough as ever"? Ehhh, this didn't do it for me. I'm all for a ragged sound, but this really didn't go as hard as I had hoped it would. I'd give it a 2.5 if I could.

I love Hard-gutta-street $hit just as much as the next dude, but the song has to actually sound good too. This beat is seriously annoying and Gangrene's flow is very ordinary. Any street hustler could sound like this... I'm disappointed in Alchemist on this one.. he was one of my favorites like 8yrs ago...

the ALC is light years ahead of todays producers. for those who dont get it listen closely . his samples come to life with crystal clarity with a ginsu"s percision chop n slice. and the drums are masterminded like a chemist formulating in a lab . #1 alchemist.
