It is a rarity to see great artists intervene through all the noisy chatter. So many heads want to speak yet too many deadbeats water down the sound within the reflective pool of rap. Enter Millionahre – a true breadth of fresh heir – this man makes marvelous mainstays out of his lyricism. Representing for BLACKTOP RECORDS and traveling all about the East Coast – behold the Monstrocity of Milly !
Latest mixtape – Harnessing Aether – is a bundle of energy wrapped up cataclysmically. As a catalyst, M sends a jolt through the speakers when songs like “Million Heir” come on. He is charging $9.47 for the album on Bandcamp – an extremely fair rate – which begs the question – does this mixtape give a nod to Steez 47 within its pricing structure?
It definitely pays homage to the entire Beastcoast movement with densely layered lyrics which provide multiple means of interpretation. Great artists make you ponder their statement given that you may hear a word differently depending on the day. Basically, artists make you think when they use words that purposely provide misdirection. Tonal perception comes into play while one person might have heard the word, “halftime” and someone else heard “glass spine.”
Lyricism is a sword that could never be sharpened enough. An extraordinary weapon that Millionahre deploys within his wordplay is called revolving continuation. Forming lines in this way allows him to segue his final word of the previous line into a new line. Thus, the final word from his previous line becomes a springboard to set the scenario and guide the listener into the next line.
“Drink from copper cups and structured water tanks not from the sink. Stay in sync.”
Millionahre
The revolving word here is tanks – because Milly circulates two lines from this one word. He hedges on that word ‘tanks’ to finish the line about where he drinks water from. The way the beat unfolds allows for this word to set the stage for the next line informing the audience that the water comes from a more elegant source. Hence is the masterful vocabulary of Millionahre – he lets you know that he is upper-echelon in every sense of his being with superb words.
Regardless, an outsider in the city of Albany looks at the 518 hip-hop scene with cynicism. Yet, the one who immerses within the wavy vibes finds endless amounts of talent. Change your gaze, shift your perspective and find someone who sends a message. M sends that message dutifully and upholds the liturgical canons that reign down from our forefathers in this game. Paying wisdom of mind to the ancestors, Millionahre and BLACKTOP Records push forth a captivating movement!
With the listeners as conduits, rhymes as spells, aether as potent mystery and spiritual wealth – this is a strong mixtape! Energy cannot be destroyed, only transferred as the kinetics built from the masterful mentality of Millionahre provide a spark! Other redeeming qualities: knowledge/mastery of self, eternal growth, high frequencies. They latching on like lanyards!
