ShooterGang Kony Embraces Die-Hard Trap With “Still Kony 2”

Some of us might have just gone out to dinner with our friends to celebrate our 20th birthday, but for ShooterGang Kony, things are a little different.

Sacramento, California’s own up-and-coming rapper rings in another lap around the sun as Tuesday with the release of his seventh album, Still Kony 2.

The hood MC has been churning out full-length projects at a notable rate, with his debut album, Still Kony, having only dropped in 2017.

In this time, we’ve gotten to witness a pivotal chapter in his life. While his debut showed Kony speaking his deepest and darkest dreams into existence, his latest piece shows us a man now seated at the helm of a new path.

Tracks like “Pain & Promise” and “The Greatest” exist with a grandeur that allows listeners to understand the newly enhanced extremity with which ShooterGang Kony views the world.

His existential musings emerge with a sporadic cadence as he battles sharp, percussion-laden instrumentals to provide a substantive counter to Still Kony 1’s greatest concerns.

Suffice to say, if Still Kony questioned a street kid’s ability to demonstrate the commitment needed for success, Still Kony 2’s “Red Ice” skips the possible yes or no answers to show that he has displayed so much tenacity with his work that it is now the supreme metric for all his other ventures in life, saying, “I’m a hard-headed n***a, you should see me on the job.”

The song is not only about disappointment, but also a rallying cry of resilience in the face of adversity.

NNORDY

 

NNORDY’s latest release, “Wrong Turn” is a fully live jazz fusion album that showcases the limitless possibilities of instrumental storytelling with the remarkable chemistry between guitar, keyboards, bass, and drums. The song has no words but is an excellent story told through musicianship and sets the stage for listeners to embark on a rich jazz experience.

“Wrong Turn” shows the strength of live performance from the get-go. Each instrument feels alive and in conversation with the others, a dynamic dialogue that develops organically over the course of the piece. Without vocal guidance, each musical phrase is left to speak for itself, giving the listener the freedom to interpret the track in their own way.

The guitar and keyboards often lead, crafting complex melodic lines and textures that give the music direction and atmosphere. Meanwhile, the bass and drums lay down a solid rhythmic base, creating movement and momentum while still leaving a lot of room for exploration. NNORDY creates a track that both dedicated jazz fans and listeners looking for something adventurous and fresh will enjoy. “Wrong Turn” shows that instrumental music can be as expressive and compelling as vocal music.
