WORD? (CD)
Atmosphere
Amoeba Review
WORD? is classic Atmosphere. Anchored by Ant’s haunting production and strong guest appearances by Aesop Rock, Evidence, Muja Messiah, Musab, Nino Bless, Nikki Jean, Anwar HighSign, BlackLiq, Sa-Roc, Haphduzn, Lateef the Truthspeaker, and the late MF DOOM, WORD? finds Slug in fine form here, looking darkness in the eye with a knowing smirk on his face. At times the lyrics are brooding and knife-sharp, occupied with both societal issues and relationships drama. The next thing you know, the rug’s being pulled out from under your feet as Slug slips in sly commentary, stacking up to that one-two emotional punch that makes his work such as lasting success, album after album. Witty, wry, and filled with bangers, this classic boom-bap from one of the masters.
