![]() Perhaps it is ironic that the last artist with less than 200,000 monthly listeners goes by the artist name Anonymuz, but that may not be the case for much longer. Whilst there may be more higher profile rappers currently operating on the East Coast, AK is continuing the legacy of the cultivators of the sound the region is famous for. ![]() The difference between the two modern tracks is that in the Huncho Jack version, it features more trap elements, such as rattling highhats and a faster pace, whereas the AK version only speeds it up slightly, and with slightly less emphasis on the trap aspect, creating a dreamy background accompanying his raspy and controlled delivery. The song samples Shigeo Sekito’s 1975 song The World 2, popularised in the mainstream through Quavo and Travis Scott’s 2017 track How U Feel. My favourite track he has released, however, would be 2017’s Melting Amethyst, which was released as part of the soundtrack of the anime show Nakaomiru. On his only solo project, Blessings in the Grey 2, there is a mixture of braggadocios big hitters and laid back tracks, with his raspy deep voice fitting over either. ![]() For my review, I thought I would look at him by himself, rather than tie him to anyone else. New York rapper AKTHESAVIOR is better known as being part of collaborative groups, such as the Underachievers and Beast Coast, but he also can flourish as a solo artist. I’d put him in my top 5 favourite artists and is someone who I will be waiting impatiently to drop new music. A close second would be Hot Lunch, with its high pitched vocal melody stretched throughout the whole track giving a soulful beat. The title track is my favourite of the album, with its repetitive hook being catchy and providing insight into the relationship with his mother. However, that does not discount him as not being a great artist, and probably my favourite of the 3 so far. Whilst for the first two artists I made comparisons or put them in a specific distinct sound, I believe Femdot is less “unique” or distinct from his contemporaries. ![]() Due to the conciseness and the overall quality of his 2019 project, I eventually chose it, plus I thoroughly enjoy every song of its 25 minute runtime. It is a testament to how good Femdot is that I struggled to pick both my favourite project and favourite song by him, as his discography is so varied. ![]()
