Smallz One Releases Her 2nd EP “Defiled in the Lavender Fields” (EP Review)
Smallz One is a 36 year old MC from Albuquerque, New Mexico who made her Lyrikal Snuff Productionz debut in 2009 off her full-length debut The Diary of a Black Widow shortly following her debut mixtape Sadistik Stylez. She has since become one of LSP’s most well-established artists putting out her sophomore effort The Crimson Kingdom, her 3rd album Mannequin, her debut EP Hourglass, her previous LP The Process of Elimination & more recently the Scum collab effort Blame Us. A week after the 24th annual Gathering of the Juggalos though, she’s putting her 2nd EP out on all streaming platforms.
“Gutted Eyes” starts us off with pianos & hi-hats promising to burn her competition & eventually herself asking why they judge here whereas “Way Below Average” featuring Scum takes a bouncier trap route instrumentally talking about those who got them fucked up. “Lately” goes full-blown boom bap refusing to trust anyone always fuckin’ shit up, but then “Nevermind” brings the hi-hats back teaming up with her legion of demons to kill y’all.
Beginning the 2nd leg of the EP, the song “Lower Them Down” keeps it trap showing no mercy towards her opposition while “Garbage” ruggedly talks about doing shit better than the rest of these bitches. “Dismembered Wishes” featuring Bloody Ruckus cloudily discusses their lives going on & their haters’ being done leading into the cavernous “Trash Day” callin’ out those who really ain’t gonna do shit. “Pandora’s Box” wraps things up wishing long & enduring suffering on her enemies.
Claas so happened to give us the 3-track EP couple weeks ago In My Head centered around mental health & of the 2 new projects that LSP had to offer the gore hop heads & juggalos, I’m finding myself catering towards Defiled in the Lavender Fields more than The Summoning. Generally, it’s sound balances boom bap & trap allowing Smallz to put her own Lyrikal Snuff spin on those styles.
Score: 7/10
