#39 - Muggs & Rome Streetz - Death & The Magician REVIEW

(Go to 0:55 to skip the intro)

Legendary producer DJ Muggs linked up with up and coming MC Rome Streetz, for a collaborative album that has been buzzing in the hip-hop world ever since its release.

The production from Muggs on Death & The Magician was solid as hell, but we all expected that. What we wanted to see is how this latest partner of Muggs, Rome Streetz, would be able to do with the Muggs pack.

I am happy to say that Rome Streetz accomplished exactly what he set out to do on Death & The Magician.

Hunger is what Rome Streetz possesses in spades on this album. He possesses a young and infectious hunger that comes across really nicely in the music. This hunger gives these songs a strong sense of energy and urgency that keeps me engaged throughout the whole record.

It also helps that he has a strong fundamentally sound flow that allows him to pack in some nice wordplay, and an aesthetically pleasing and smooth flow.

Rome has great breath control, allowing him to put the proper emphasis on certain words and syllables that allows for his bars to be clearly understood by the listener. Every verse here is rapped like it's the last verse he'll ever be able to spit.

You can clearly tell that Rome understood the moment that was Death & The Magician, and made sure that the lasting impression people got from this album is that this guy Rome can RAP... and rap at a level that keeps up with the strong production of a legend, such as Muggs.
