“GODS ILLA” is the title track from the new album by Underground emcee and producer Status The Marlboro Man. This is dark Underground Boom Bap at its finest. Metaphoric punchlines and gruff delivery spearhead this banger into the Underground scene like a torpedo. Brooding violins and classic drum loops set a soundscape reminiscent of a 1930s gothic horror film.
“Harvey” by Status the Marlboro Man, crafted on the Akai MPC 2000xl, delves into the duality of heroism and villainy, drawing inspiration from the complex character of Two-Face from the Batman universe.
Through Marlboro Man’s lyrical depth over a thematic beat, the track amplifies the voices of the oppressed while challenging listeners to reckon with the injustices perpetrated by those in power urging listeners to confront the harsh realities of contemporary conflicts, particularly in regions like Palestine.
