You don't choose the gangster life, the gangster life chooses you. And it appears that the Tommy Gun has been informally passed to VDon x Willie The Kid and Roc Marciano from the hip-hop capo himself, Raekwon, with their collective effort 24 Hours.
The morally coded killer of a song has Only Built 4 Cuban Linx written on the walls. The roaring production's introductory soundbite, dead-eye strings and salting snares orchestrates a potentially sour business deal atmosphere before turning tones over into a view of a singular burning Cuban cigar hanging off a desk over bloody bodies of the betrayers. The verbal attack is memorable braggadocio punchline after metaphor that carries the meat of double meanings. The line "I pillage like a pale-face" offers a savage metaphor and history lesson in one line. The cadence of both Willie The Kid and Roc Marciano is desensitized and greedy. The flow is Raekwon's: bar to bar, rapper to rapper. The rhyming is in Da Chef's pattern, if not damn close to it.
24 Hours is top-tier mafioso hip-hop if I've ever heard it. And I think it's about time it makes a comeback. Once you hear 24 Hours' periodic/closing Terrace Martin-type saxophone classing up the joint, your tune will be on par with mine. That, I guarantee.
Listen to 24 Hours below.
