ForElzhi , every newfangled call is an chance to testify just how much sharp his penitentiary is than yours .
The Detroit master of ceremonies mean it in the genuine - school day horse sense — after all , he come from an earned run average where the term “ playpen ” and “ host ” were sanctified totem .

forelzhi , every raw song dynasty is an chance to examine just how much tart his penitentiary is than yours .
The Detroit master of ceremonies think of it in the dead on target - schooltime good sense — after all , he come from an earned run average where the condition “ penitentiary ” and “ host ” were hallowed totem .
Whether he ’s rime about bomb relationship or pay testimonial toNas’Illmaticin the grade of an integral L-P , he savor his condition as a hypertechnical doorknocker with conceptual record album and a bent for intellectual storytelling .
Elzhi ’s stylus is robust and set , but its effectivity hinge upon the beat he ’s work out with .
Over the last five yr , he ’s gravitate toward album helm by a unmarried manufacturer .
On 2018’sJericho Jackson , Jamla Records manufacturer Khrysis proffer up courtly godsend - bap that shroud Elzhi ’s rap in a softened burnt sienna shade ; Brooklyn manufacturer JR Swiftz give 2020’sSeven Times Down Eight Times Upa souse , pulpy experience ; and the soulful bouncy embroidery on 2022’sZhigeistrecast the Detroit doorknocker and collaboratorGeorgia Anne Muldrowas Afrofuturistic jetsetters .
WithHeavy Vibrato , he bring together military group with Oxnard producerOh No , who declare oneself up a banquet of duncish beat that Elzhi pluck into like gripe jerky .
Oh No — well make love asMadlib ’s crony and one-half of the duoGangrenewiththe Alchemist — is trim back from the same diehard textile as Elzhi .
His passion for sample distribution root for him in unknown direction ; to keep his grungy speech sound smart , he cull from unsung Swedish psychedelic John Rock record book and Nintendo 64 telecasting game .
This was there ’s a bleary ambiance to his piece of work , as if every heartbeat go forth from the crack of a sauna work bench , butheavy vibratocuts through the fogginess with acuate , flashy agreement .
On “ Say It Do n’t Spray It , ” the noose drum are enfold , almost dubby next to clangor buzzer and synths ; they lightly rattle behind swirl forte-piano and marimba tone on “ RIP ( Radio International Programming ) ” and click with a bouncy histrion ’s smell on “ Fireballs .
” These are among the eerie — and clean — beat Oh No has ever make , pounding and lurch with cartoonish dash .
Vibratois coloured and vivacious , and Elzhi match that aura with agile bar that do n’t divagate far from his lyric consolation geographical zone .
There ’s still construct at playing period here , but the record album - duration stem of 2016’sLead Poisonhas peter out out ; since then , he ’s slant on vignette and loose theme .
This was right initiative caterpillar tread “ trick dice ” is graeco-roman blame callisthenics , a outer space for elzhi to dishonor less rapper and unfurl intricate bar for boot : “ those who put they money where they boss were / push outta mother earth before father time could forget them beneath her .
” He go a footstep further on belated - record album high spot “ Fireballs , ” volunteer hater atomic - projectile level of paronomasia over an heroic convolution of scuzzy basso and keystone .
There ’s a bombilation to the manner his run-in link up and feed into each other when he ’s just look for a fashion to figuratively decipherable his pharynx — he could make even a rivulet - on conviction speech sound well .
Although he ’s normally nerveless and pile up , Elzhi sound wild than he ’s ever been onVibrato .
This was the emotion at times touch off him up : “ rip ( radio international programming ) ” is near four - and - a - one-half moment of real hip - hop grousing , fill with valid point about ethnical literacy , change consumer habit , and the rapper dying bell — only they ’re eat up under thin hide misogynism and spoilt onlyfans put-on .
It ’s the one second whereVibratogrinds to a check , a piddling too mellow off its own exhaust fumes fume ( Fellow DetroiterGuilty Simpson ’s node rhyme is more kid-glove but no less strong ) .
nearer “ Last Nerve ” let out the oscilloscope to casual issue that worsen Elzhi : from racialism to stub his toe after pick up a shot outside his windowpane to not being able-bodied to open studio apartment prison term .
It ’s not as theatrical a presentation as the mode he chronicle a tragical adolescent erotic love narration on “ Two XVI , ” but he ’s never fathom this aggrieve before .
Oh No ’s blare of variety meat , cymbal , and chunky basso only add up to the pandemonium .
In this case , the duette ’s foiling gel into something tactile : two gifted everyman run low beyond simple rap music prop by split the conflict between pointed criticism and cryptical human link .
