RazoR Kicks Off “The NeveRending GoRy” Trilogy By Releasing Their Best Work “The Nothing” (Album Review)

RazoR is a horrorcore duo from Chicago, Illinois consisting of Tha Roka & Sin Rip. They introduced themselves to the underground wicked shit scene in the spring of 2016 by releasing their debut All Hail tha RazoR, which resulted in Scum signing them to his Denver gore hop powerhouse Lyrikal Snuff Productionz & making their official LSP debut on Halloween 2019 with heaRtless. 5 years later, Roka & Sin are linking back up to reintroduce themselves in the form of their 3rd full-length studio LP on the same day as Bloody Ruckus’ debut album Resurrection of the Broken Reflection.

After the titular intro, the first song “Raining Blood” begins by hopping over thunderous trap production declaring themselves as the kings of the hill whereas “D.T.O. (Death To Opps)” serves as a middle finger to all their opps. “Grosseries” works in synths & hi-hats warning they keep bodies in their fridge like groceries while “Beautiful” featuring Smallz One goes full-blown boom bap hauntingly getting hardcore.

“God Complex” goes for a grim trap vibe instrumentally to talk about having no shame at all instead possessing the feeling of pure vengeance just before “The Nothing” hooks up more kicks & snares personifying hate & the violence that the demonstrate. “Part of Me” switches into grisly trap turf again saying y’all a part of them now, but then “We’re the Ones” featuring Insane Poetry angrily warns to be aware if you take it far.

As for “Save Me”, we have Roka & Sin maintains the morbid trap flare from earlier coming clean that everybody got them feeling crazy lately leading into “Awake” infernally showing all y’all muhfuckas how phat they be on the mic. “Dummy” featuring Claas decently boasts that they be stealing bitches while the title track welcoming everyone to the pages of their life. The final song “Why So Serious?” ahead of the outro finishes the LP reminding that they’ll turn people into Casper.

heaRtless was a solid way of RazoR introducing themselves to the Lyrikal Snuff audience nearly almost half a decade ago & they return after all that time with what is easily my favorite body of work in their entire discography, turning up anticipation for the rest of the trilogy. It’s a whole new sound for the duo as they redefine themselves artistically, occasionally enlisting a few of their labelmates at points during the ride.

Score: 8/10
