Mac Lethal - Woodchip Grinder (Remix)
Artist: Mac Lethal
Featuring: Aesop Rock
Producer: Mac Lethal
Album: Love Potion 5 (Deluxe Edition)
Label: 16 Chapel Records/Blackclover
If you’re a relatively unknown artist, getting a major artist on your track can be the surest way to attract new listeners. Case in point: Mac Lethal’s new track Woodchip Grinder, a smoothly produced, lyrically deadly track featuring verses from Aesop Rock (my dark horse nominee for best rapper alive) and Soulcrate Music. I may have first listened to the track for Aesop, but I stayed for Lethal, as the Missouri-based rapper/entrepreneur delivers a flow that’s by turns hilarious and disturbing but always on point. If you’ve never heard Mac Lethal before, I can’t think of a better track for him to make his DJBooth premiere with than this. Now who else wants to ride in the woodchip grinder? By the way, how was the name Mac Lethal not taken before? I would have thought a name like that would have been snatched up years ago. Anyway, if you’re in the mood for more lyrically intense creativity, be sure to check out Lethal’s latest project Love Potion 5 (Deluxe Edition), available now.

I don't share Nathan's opinion about Aesop Rock being one of the best ever, but anything with his name on it is pretty much gong to peak my interest. With that said, once you are one foot inside the door of this track... I dare you to just run right out.
There are certain songs that you are not sure why you like - you just do. "Woodchip Grinder" is one of those records.

I actually enjoyed Mac Lethal's verses more than Aesop's.

Mac Lethal made it known that this was his song. But I'm having mixed feelings about the production (easily a love it or hate it beats; in part because of that questionable sample with that first annoying "Heeeeeeey..."). After two plays (I tuned in a second time attempting to grasp all of what Aesop said, because sometimes he syllable stuffs lines to make a harmonious stanza), the hook became unbearable.

Yo Z, you have put up a ramp or somethin' (make this site handicap accessible), by adding the all-encompassing editing feature. My library cred's taking a toll. |

I'll fight to the death about Aesop's skills, I actually wrote my college thesis on his rhymes (no joke, shout out to SF State), but that's a debate for another time.
What really impressed me about this track was Mac Lethal, the man's hot a rhyme style not quite like anything I've heard before, especially when he ramps up the intensity in the middle of his verse. Been listening to this on repeat all day.

OK, the flow here is too fast for their own good, they need to slow down and go with the tempo. Everything here is a little misguided but well intended.

Man, is that sample dope or what? Its stuck in my head. "Heeyyyy... Lalaalaa". And both Mac and Aesop comfortably glide over it while kickin wordplay-rich bars in a head-nodding manner. BANGER!!!
