Bisk – “Cream Soda” Prod. by Sam Zircon (EP Review)
London, England, United Kingdom emcee/producer Bisk enlisting Sam Zircon to produce his 5th EP in its entirety. A member of the Cult of the Damned collective as well as the duo Swamp Harbour, he would precede his full-length debut album Don’t Piss It Off! with Raw Sh!t under Blah Records as well as Free Morphine & Figaro3000 respectively. He recently put out Yasuke along with the sophomore effort XXXX & Gutter City, preluding Bsidegoose by using natural ingredients to make some Cream Soda.
The title track opens up talking about people he doesn’t even know claiming to be homies with him over a boom bap instrumental & after the “Bubblegum” skit, “Grape Juice” blends trap and chopped & screwed grinding for the P & remaining gangsta. “Parashoot” goes for a cloudy boom bap vibe telling clout chasers to go home & the final song “Snow” preceding the “Hasta Luego” outro talks about moving like royalty these days.
Gutter City remains my favorite LP of the Bisk has dropped so far, but Cream Soda could be the strongest EP he’s made in the past year & a half of embarking on a solo career. Sam Zircon’s eclectic production drawing inspiration from boom bap to trap, cloud rap and chopped & screwed paired with Bisk’s lyricism for almost 10 minutes can only make me imagine the amount of potential Bsidegoose has of dethroning Gutter City in 2 weeks.
Score: 8/10
