A sonic rendering of the rapper’s reckless, no-holds-barred surge to the top.
Summary
- OsamaSon has dropped off his latest studio album entitled psykotic
- The project – which was proceeded by a physical advance carefully passed along to only a handful of music editors – clocks in at 17 tracks all handled lyrically solo by the rapper
- Production throughout comes from a lineup of super-producers including Warren, Gyro, OK, Legion, Roxie, as well as Flex Musik executive producer Rok
The advance for OsamaSon‘s new album had to be distributed physically. In order to prevent leaks, the surging 22-year-old rapper’s team went old-school, handing out burned CDs to only a select few music editors, industry professionals, and close collaborators, with psykotic written in sharpie across the middle of the blank disc.
For a rapper still early in his career, it’s rare – seemingly psykotic, even – to have amassed such an atuned cult following. But for OsamaSon, he’s been plugged directly into the rage-rap underground since the start, his high-voltage trap sound serving as the crux of a rather symbiotic relationship with his fans.
OsamaSon brings the music, the fans bring the energy. Consistently.
And it’s this persistent, pulsating energy that propels his raucous, rage-rap to its paragon, proven on the 17-track psykotic. A brazen and bold-faced rendering of his rise to the top of the underground, the project proves that nothing is out of reach for the 22-year-old. As he continues to shape his unretraised sonic world, psykotic shows us he can build it from the bottom up, break it all down, and then rebuild it even better than the first time.
Almost the entirety of the album was recorded during the rapper’s 20-stop Jump Out Tour in Europe over this spring and summer. He handles the lyrical heavy-lifting all himself, sourcing a selection of super-producers in his network like Legion and Warren to wreak their own havoc in his already-laid ruins.
