Artist: Furious Floyd & Q-Mystik
Album: The Ghetto Gospel
Articulation: King Acklin
Louisville repping Kr8vn8vs Records have been busy lately. From touring to dropping The N8VS vol. 2, to a collab effort from members Dom B & Q-Mystik. Now N8Vs member Furious Floyd drops his collab project with Q-Mystik, titled, The Ghetto Gospel. Released in February, the 5-track project comes in under 16mins long. Pay close attention while listening because if not these 5 tracks will just breeze by you.
The album leads off with Sunday Crusin’, which has some good bars, but is a little underwhelming, vibe wise to get things started with such a short project. It felt like the people needed a harder hitting joint to kick things off, which could have been to simply swap places with the album’s lead single, Wait, which comes next at track 2. Wait has such a good intentional gospel feel and sounding chorus that it would have been great to hear that start out the album. “To the tabernacle” we go with one of the standout tracks, Celebration of Life. This might be the best track on the project, but it’s it a battle with Never Left, which closes the album in a great way.
Overall, the theme of the project is consistent and felt throughout. Furious Floyd and Q-Mystik go back and forth feeling like they’re trying to out dope bar each other while giving us the street gospel on each track. Their personal reflections on this project help strengthen it and the production from these N8VS projects continues to get better. The only downside could be leaving the listeners wanting more after these 5 tracks. Another standout track or two and this project could have been more “official” than it already is. Let The Church Say Amen!
Bottom line and question of the day; Is It Dope Tho? The answer is yes, the project is HEAT. The project is an 8 on the Dope Tho Scale. Listen now and thank me later... #DopeTho #YouWelcome
