Las Vegas emcee Ouija Macc is back after a year Scratches for his 4th LP. He broke out in the fall of 2017 after Insane Clown Posse signed him to Psychopathic Records shortly after the release of his debut EP Garbage fire regardless, Ouija has since proven himself to be one of the most consistent and hard-working guys in the underground, dropping the last 3 full-lengths, 2 greatest hits, 8 mixtapes, and 4 EPs, all in the span of nearly 7 years. He even started his own record label Chapter 17 Records and made his great friend HEXXX the first signee to release his first 2 albums Age of Demons & Tales of a Cursed G before amicably fulfilling all contractual obligations with the Psychopathy affiliate last fall. Darby O'Trill is now the only C17 artist other than Ouija to collaborate with each other in April for the excellent collaborative effort Wind a few months ago. Now that he has completed the Elements series almost perfectly Stalewind during the Gathering of Dreams, the time has finally come for the Darcc Planet for promotion 6 months later Corruptus.
After the introduction of “Signal Interruption Event”, the first song “Psychocidal” begins with a blurry trap from Devereaux detailing the psychotic mindset Ouija has while “Macc Mode” steals from the rich and kills a pig for them . fruit that further embraces a morbid atmosphere. “Labiaplasty” works in some bells and hats, explaining that all the killers know they're not coming back, but then the rubbery Shaggytheairhead-produced “Baton” speaks to the type of psycho ending that Chapter 17 and Psychopath do.
“Sin City” brings a foggy trap to the beat, reminding everyone exactly where it came from just before “Boomshaka” serves as a uniquely crafted follow-up to “Chicken Huntin'” and which brings a huge smile to my face from its remix His Slaughterhouse ranks among the best ICP songs of all time. “Last Laugh” embraces a manic trap direction wanting to know who exactly they're laughing at, while “Sun Don't Shine” ends the first half with some emo rap shit that talks about life getting dark.
To begin Darcc PlanetIts other leg, “Juggular Vein” gives juggalos and the underground in general music to bury while the 5.5 and a half minute “For the Tombstone (When I Go)” serves as one of the creepiest moments here and one of the best Ouija songs ever sounds like he conceived it as an open farewell letter for when the day comes when he's no longer with us. “Murder Dance” hellishly admits that C17 isn't for everyone and Psychopathic is the setting, while “Moonlit Dungeon” talks morbidly about the ax forever.
“Butternuts” elementally welcomes listeners to the dead side, while “Tropicana Ave” mixes a guitar and hi-hats talking about fucking to the point of not looking down. “My Luv (Sometimes)” experiments with rage hitting by making the pack flip and bag up, while the cloudy “Prophet Paint” declares the evil clown painting as a prophet. “Deincarnation” depressingly ended the album with a guitar/snare fusion hoping to be its last life.
Stalewind over the past two years it has quickly become my favorite LP of the 4 that Ouija put out and Darcc Planet it certainly reaches the same caliber that the last installment of the Elements series reached in Gathering of Dreams. As the title suggests, it's the darkest material the C17 CEO has ever conceived on his own since his self-released debut in 2017, and you can hear how much he's grown artistically since then.
Rating: 9/10
