Denver, Colorado Emcee & Lyrical Snuff Productionz Founder Scum Moves From Dyin' World Chroniclez trilogy releasing his 15th full length solo LP. Started as a member of an experimental grind/noise band called Down Syndrome some 28 years ago, his solo debut Enter the Asylum he just turned 20 last winter and has outdone himself many times since then. In this case: The Gorefather, Out with the old & recently his 3rd EP Bad uncle Fully produced by Chapter 17/Psychopathic Records producer Devereaux last summer. I also found myself enjoying the aforementioned Dyin' World Chroniclez trilogy of course and certainly interested in its outcome Anti-human.
MMMFD has us kicking off with “This Pain” talking morbidly about losing a battle with addiction and doubting heaven would let them in if they tried to walk through the pearl, that is until “Revenge is Cheap” grab the ski mask and make them bleed fast enough over this horrible organic trap. “The Past” follows the trap metal route, stylistically blowing up in people's faces similar to that of an exploding barrel, but then “Float or Sink” with Big Hoodoo works in kicks and snares that speak of swimming for life you.
“What U Leave Behind” has more of a cloudy trap feel that deals with the idea of forgetting things that you might regret now as time goes on while “Bloody Mess” works in some guitars and hi-hats talking to leave them curled up. a ball bruised and battered. The piano “When I'm Gone” featuring Madopelli showcases self-mutilation at its best, clarifying that it's about those who will remember you when the hype wears off as opposed to who will show up at your funeral just before “Unsobriety” goes trap metal again talking about fucking to deal with stress.
Smallz One joins Scum on “Pull Up” for a cloudy vibe that advises you to just hang around to get murdered, leading into “Cold One” where Lyte menacingly breaks down how cold both the Gorefather and the Psychopath can be MonStar. “Guilty” talks sly about sitting on this mom with a shotgun, while “Daaamn” calls out a person he heard stealing from those you should never steal from in the first place and cut ties to procedure.
“No More” featuring JP tha Hustler, Mista Doesha & Slyzwicked begins its final moments Anti-human in the form of all 4 MCs desecrating everyone who pushed them to the limit by reverting to boom bap in the process, while “Heavy Lies the Crown” continues the album's encore with a synth-trap fusion that speaks of over-pressured, steady retreat. in his skull now. “Voicemail” enables LP to become legible beyond the kicks and snares that need someone to speak ASAP instead of leaving a voicemail.
Over 2 decades giving the underground nothing but straight up gore hop and Anti-human he continues to do this for the Grefather himself. The overall sound is mostly trap but you also get hints of trap metal and even boom bap so Scum can bring in some of his LSP brethren and even some Psychopathic Records alumni keeping the underground bad scene alive and thriving with signature styles of all performers involved.
Rating: 8/10
