Queens, New York emcee Flee Lord returns with his 18th EP. Emerging in 2017 as a protégé of the late Prodigy, he has since gone on to build a massive discography for himself over the past 5 years. This includes the Faith or Death: Lord's Speech production trilogy GodBlessBeatz, the Loyalty or Trust duology produced by 38 Spesh, by DJ Shay Lucky 13the Buckwild-production Give me my flowersproduced by Pete Rock The People's Champion & the Havoc-production In the name of Prodigyproduced by DJ Muggs RAMM£LLZ££produced by Roc Marciano Delgado. The last time I covered him was his 4th proper full length album Ladies and gentlemen followed by 2 more LPs 2-3 Zone & Complete Court Pressbut Raised in Ammos my interest peaked even more.
The title track opens with a hypnotic boom bap instrumental that talks about drawing a clear vision in the booth with his pen, while the Harry Fraud-produced “Hate When You Rich” works its way into a sadder kick-and-snare loop aimed at those who envy the stacking of his bread. above. “Snakes in Disguise” is an instrumental/boom bam crossover that DJ Green Lantern cooked up calling out those on the streets who are literally disguised as snakes before “Pay the Price” trades the instrumentals for a piano explaining what it takes to do business with him.
V Don performs “Where's the Love?” a psychedelic vibe that tells you to get yours, lay low and stay away on “Ice Water 2” featuring Roc Marciano serving as the follow-up to Raekwon's “Ice Water” featuring Cappadonna & Ghostface Killah assisted by Mephux. Lord Mobb Music's in-house producer Ghost Dave jumps behind the boards for the rap-rock flavored 'Lord's Work', with Mummz & Trizz building up their chops just before 'Brother 4 Life' speaks soulfully about dedication to Pounds448 sampling soul music.
“Skipping Out the Bank” featuring Pounds448 himself begins its final moments Raised in Ammos jumping over horns together literally skipping the bank between everyone in their lives being jealous of them and getting even more stressed out by the fact and “Get Yours” ends the EP telling the friend to get him a drink & since he doesn't do that very often , is in the mood to celebrate right now by keeping the tempo exuberant yet dusty at the same time.
Flee's last two albums have been good, but I haven't found myself enjoying a piece from him this much since then Delgado. Needless to say, what we have in front of us is the best EP the guy has put out in 3 years. Production is a cut above 2-3 Zone & Complete Court Pressi love that the guest count is dwarfed by comparison and Free Lord himself tells everyone how it was for him Raised in Ammos.
Rating: 9/10
