Switzerland’s The SoulSlicers, bring us a 26 track album full of hard-hitting boom bap HipHop titled Black Album. It’s interesting how many European producers have assumed a responsibility in maintaining the boom bap production of the “golden eras” sound. They almost always utilize excellent drums with plenty of punch and bass. Their samples are always minimal. And they employ grimy emcees to spit the raw NY/East coast style rap that we know from the mid 90’s to the early 00’s. The SoulSlicers are no exception. The Swiss production team have crafted an album full of these types of beats. They’ve selected a cast of mostly newer and some lesser-known emcees with some underground veterans popping up to bolster the firepower on this large LP. The album features Franc Heat, DJ LP2, G.Dot & Born, DJ Tray, Good Wthr, EMS (M-Dot, Mayhem, Revalation, Kore), DJ 7L, DJ Decepta, Mesidge, Absouljah, Chad L, El Lay, Dre Goose, Sparkingtin, Ricky Bats, Savage Brothers, D. Gotti, DJ Ronfa, Big Shug, Edo G, Tank, Scientific, For Da Block, Unik Stylez, Skyzoo, Planetary, Banish & Meta P.

Shout out to all the artists that participated in this project.

🎵 Yeah, yeah, yo The way I'm feeling, I'm feeling the seal that ain't containing my ambition Late wishing, watching as the band's spinning My man's living in the box, so how can I complain?

Bill stacking up, question is, how can I maintain?

This rap job, the money so inconsistent Don't be lying that I'm pitching so relying on my listeners To find solace in my truth, flawless in the blue Violence on the news, yet they don't hear the impoverished in the views God, there's so much juice to talk about If they eat off the poor, the poor ain't eatin' Poor people, countless lives are blown without it This life is cutthroat, I've seen it up close The horn is snub-nosed, a smug pose, make you run close The gun blows, the demons at your front door Waiting for you to exit, fiending for you to come soft So they can take you for your necklace The fact is you either got blinders on or you don't care So scared, peeping from a distance till the smoke clears Sooner or later it's inevitable to face your foes You ever go without a change of clothes or a safe place to lay in those?

Appreciate what you have, stub your bitch and I'm exhausted with it Sprayed shots, clipped parents, kids turned to foster children These thoughts are given to my mind as I sit and ponder We say we don't got money but got loot for a fifth of Arca We all need change, I ain't accepting what I write I spoke of demons but now I'm seeing my own come to light

the wrong places to go Being everywhere I ain't supposed to be at the right

time I got a way of finding all the wrong places to go Being everywhere I ain't supposed to be Got the

I got a way of finding all the wrong places

to go Being everywhere I ain't supposed to be at the right time

Put the city on stand still If I don't do it, bet my hands will I'm from the parts where it's on from the start Hope you stand real And they groom you to breed drugs like you plant

The check'll come from whoever, just spell the letters right Better life, betting on better dice Got a hand on my lonely, word to all them below me And however you know me, you know me till it's over Talking way to the game, shit I know it off the shoulders Drive through in clear way with weather concealers Never got a fair shake, I guess I'm the silver But still good to clap up the metronome Rap like a herringbone,

like you better know They say the game changed, I say I agree But they die knowing they can never change who I be Let em know like Yeah,

the wrong places to go Being everywhere I ain't supposed to be Got the right dollar, dollar

to go Being everywhere I ain't supposed to be Got the right time, time

Ay yo, don't get out of pocket, money is in my jeans I know the meaning of blood money, I bleed green On my block, we don't let go shit But if I'm breaking it apart, know it's something legit I gotta hustle a soul with a scholar's mindset Speak to what's been told makes knowledge widespread Ghetto teacher, still trying to reach the young dope dealers who kill for a pair of sneakers You can't wait till they got benches and mansions A full-fledged army with taunts of expansion You gotta catch em now while they're impressionable Or the streets will swallow him up, it's inevitable While the genocidal youth look for weapons to pull I'm like a knight who in the booth spittin' lessons to you Philosophical poet with a poency for progress Informing the youth cause the truth seems far-fetched Young, young, young, young, young lyrical writer Informing the youth cause the truth seems far-fetched

the start I'm findin' a way to eat, I've been givin' up my vote I got a hair on my lawn, it can never change why I play There's a flesh and blood flowin'

on my block, on my block On my block, block, block, block On my block, block, block, block Block, block, block, block I got

I got a way of finding all the wrong places to go

Being everywhere I ain't supposed to be at the

right time, time I got a way of finding all the wrong places to go Being everywhere I

Being everywhere I ain't supposed to be At the right time
