Strictly 4 The Scythe

the take

Put a TiaCorine verse on each track and it’s a solid 9/10 for me. Ever since Hot One on Denzel’s last album, I’ve been waiting for them to work together again. And S4TS proves I was right to expect good stuff out of their collaboration. Now why is it not a 9/10 ? Aside from Lit Effect, most choruses are too repetitive and take a too important part of the song. They’re far from bad but considering The Scythe is a supergroup of rappers, I expected them to leave more spotlight time to their verses... The good sides : The ‘Lit Effect’ chorus by Bktherula goes hard, she just glides over a good old trap beat and it’s the most hype thing I’ve heard in a while. ‘Phony’ and ‘Mutt That Bih’ are pretty great too, although the tiredness of the repetitive choruses start to show a little. TiaCorine’s verse on ‘The Scythe’ is probably the catchiest of all, while ‘Tan’ comes to the rescue of a second half of mixtape that isn’t as efficient as its counterpart.
