Shady Blaze – Shady Business (new tape)

Shady Blaze, who put out the brilliant Shady Bambino (produced entirely by Squadda B), and the even more so Dreamin (produced by Ryan Hemsworth), continues to push the hard edged cloud rap envelope with self-produced Shady Business.

Leaning heavily on booming kick drums and machine gun spitting, Shady Business doesnt finish everything it sets out to do. Shady Blaze aka Chapter 5 sounds best when paired next to his #greenova brethren, like on the rewarding but half-forgotten Loyalty & Royalty tape with Mondre MAN, or on Green Ova Takin Ova, where Squadda’s indie rock type piano samples and idiosyncratically programmed drum pattern balances Shady’s rapid fire delivery beautifully.

Greenova Lifestyle & Culture, strongest when moving as a unit.
