Super Sag Bros – Self-Titled (EP Review)
The Super Sag Bros are a duo from Manchester, England, United Kingdom consisting of emcee/producer Black Josh & emcee Sleazy F Baby. Both of whom are members of the Cult of the Damned collective & have crossed paths with each other several times on tracks like “Ohana” or “Gucci Glasses” & “Gang Gvng” to name a few. Looking to elevate themselves to the next level, it doesn’t surprise me that Blah Records is putting out their eponymous debut EP through the London imprint.
We get a cloudy trap instrumental during the intro “28 Grams” talking about levitating in the middle of them getting blazed so much that they’re walking on air & the whole crew looking fresh whereas “Burner” suggests not to call their phones if there isn’t a job for either of the Super Sag Brothers who always stay 1 step ahead. “Paranoia” gets the 2nd half of the EP going by talking about staying stoned on a daily basis while the closer “10 Bud” passes it to the left fusing jazz rap & trap.
Commemorating the process of weed becoming legalized in both the UK & the United States respectively, Black Josh & Sleazy F Baby whip up a 14 minute extended play trading verses over trap production taking secondary influences from jazz rap & cloud rap in time for Black Friday. I might even prefer it a bit more than the B-Movie Millionaires’ eponymous debut EP a few years earlier partly due to the Super Sag Bros having no guest appearances at all despite enjoying nearly ever feature on there.
Score: 8/10
