Jesus Saves. Alexander Spits. <\/p>\n<p>I figured this is the best way to start this review because these are definitely all facts. I won\u2019t get too into the first two statements in this article, but what I will do is get into the third. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AlexanderSpit\">Alexander Spit<\/a> is an appropriate name for an artist who does just that, spit, ill ass rhymes over some of the illest instrumentals that I\u2019ve heard over my many avid years of listening to Hip-Hop and any other genre of music. <\/p>\n<p>Spit released his latest album Dillinger on 11\/12\/13, and the wait was well worth it. After <a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/album\/breathtaking-trip-to-that\/id591548855\">A Breathtaking Trip to That Otherside<\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mediafire.com\/download\/lp9t4p8ypqu33m4\/ALEXANDER+SPIT+-+MANSIONS+2.zip\">Mansions 2<\/a> (which was all instrumentals), I was hungry to hear more of what spit had to offer. So, when he started campaigning Dillinger on Instagram with a quick preview of <em>\u201cDown,\u201d<\/em> then posting a picture of his verse for <em>\u201cMaverick,\u201d<\/em> I knew that the time was soon to come for either a video or song leak, and it did. When the <em>\u201cEleanor 60\u201d<\/em> video came out, it caught my attention because it was different, and it told a story with simply using pictures from a lot of Spit\u2019s epic nights and escapades. From <em>\u201cEleanor 60\u201d<\/em><\/em> to <em>\u201c5 Ringin\u2019\u201d<\/em> the album has an incredibly consistent flow, and everything you\u2019d like to hear in an album, from the tracks that you can listen to while riding around with the homies, to the tracks you just want to hear out your headphones and zone out to.<\/p>\n<p><center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"625\" height=\"400\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/IV8A4ztR0_c?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/center><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>\u201cEleanor 60\u201d<\/strong><\/em> sets the tone of the album; it has this chill, yet unheard sound that makes you yearn to listen to the rest of the album. As you move forward, <em><strong>\u201cMaverick\u201d<\/strong><\/em> (which was produced by my good friend KT the Terrible) sets this anthem tone to the album, almost Dipset like, in spit\u2019s words \u201cThat Spitset shit.\u201d Next, <em><strong>\u201cCabana (We Live Infinite)\u201d<\/strong><\/em> has this I want more feel to it, Spit did a great job at painting the picture, but it was technically an interlude, and it did it\u2019s job, it made me want more. <em><strong>\u201cDown\u201d<\/strong><\/em> and <em><strong>\u201cShoebox $$$\u201d<\/strong><\/em> which are also produced by <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TheTerrible_KT\">KT the Terrible<\/a>, helped make this album feel complete. Don\u2019t get me wrong, the album is great regardless, but it seems as though El Terible and Spit joining forces is reminiscent of Jordan and Pippen. They understand one another and seem to compliment each other\u2019s sound exceptionally well. <\/p>\n<p>Now the title track, <em><strong>\u201cDillinger,\u201d<\/strong><\/em> My God, what can I say? The beat is smoother than a soft skinned Betty. Spit delivered like USPS does, and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JAMSbyJAMS\">Jams F. Kennedy<\/a>\u2026 All I can say is BARS. <em><strong>&#8220;94 Logo Blur&#8221;<\/strong><\/em> feat. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Chuckisdope\">Chuck Inglish<\/a> was all steez. From the beat to the lyrics, it\u2019s one of those top down in my convertible, with a gold chain, gold ring, and your girl in my passenger seat joints. <em><strong>\u201cMillions\u201d<\/strong><\/em> feat. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JAYUGHH_CBG\">Jay Ughh<\/a> is automatically in my \u201cpersonal stash.\u201d If you ain\u2019t fucking with Spit, I\u2019m sure you\u2019ll \u201cDuck the Fuck Shit,\u201d and hop on the bandwagon once you hear this joint. It\u2019s simply that track that\u2019ll get you in the zone, and motivate you to \u201cput that hoe shit to side, and get them Millions.\u201d Stacy did his shit when it came to his opportunity on this album, <em><strong>\u201cJune July August September\u201d<\/strong><\/em> feat. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/_bagogo\">Bago<\/a> makes me feel some inexplicable kind of way. It\u2019s the kind of track that makes you throw both hands in the air and bounce or jump as it plays. The beat was incredible, Spit outdid himself on the lyrics, and even though it\u2019s a joint that makes you want to zone out in your headphone\u2019s, you could easily picture it getting radio play *cough cough* Not that every other track couldn\u2019t get this kind of attention, but this one stands out two tons. Auto-tune, we all feel a certain way about it, except when it\u2019s done right, and <em><strong>\u201cThe Room\/Bellucci Jawn\u201d<\/strong><\/em> was done right. Not to mention that this can put a listener in a trance within their headphones, imagine it being performed. <\/p>\n<p><center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"625\" height=\"400\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ipg7BvhXN3k?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/center><\/p>\n<p>\u201cOH NOO,\u201d it\u2019s time for <em><strong>\u201cEscape Plan.\u201d<\/strong><\/em> This song was all Spit and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SSjeanleon\">Jeanleon<\/a> without a doubt, it has layers upon layers, and I consider every space and aspect of this song to be perfectly filled. It\u2019s that glass of water filled to the rim when you find yourself parched after running a lap or two. Last, but definitely not least, <em><strong>\u201c5 Ringin\u2019\u201d<\/strong><\/em> is a smooth, perfectly chopped sample track. It\u2019s the perfect closeout song, listening to it made me envision a ship sailing to a destination of prominence. And this is where I can see Spit, and everyone else involved with this album ending up, prominence. <\/p>\n<p>I want to highlight a few of my favorite lines before I let y\u2019all go:<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cIn the back with a Betty that\u2019s grubbing Humus, writing out raps to fuck up ya summer\u2019s\u201d<\/em> <strong>\u2013Escape Plan<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cAnd I like my fiction the way that I like my orange juice, with pulp, with my girl in the backseat, moving her feet like they was Uma\u2019s toes\u201d<\/em> <strong>-Millions<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cDown for the cause, down for my dawgs, down to break a few laws, ain\u2019t down for the flaws, ain\u2019t down for the broads that are down to pay for new noses\u201d<\/em> <strong>-Down<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cI\u2019m Dillinger in that driver\u2019s seat, Dilla in that producer chair, Salinger in that writer\u2019s room, Killa Cam with that evil spirit\u201d<\/em> <strong>-Maverick<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>P.S. <\/p>\n<p>I personally tried to do a top three list of my favorite tracks on the album, but I couldn\u2019t decide on just three. I kept choosing, and would look down the list only to find that I had forgotten another of my favorites. This is an album that I know I\u2019ll have on repeat for a while, and I would really love to share the experience I have when listening to this album, so the only way for me to be able to do this is by promoting the album, and telling you to stream the album below, that way you, yourself, can also become a believer of this Strange &#038; Unusual Movement. Make sure y\u2019all cop the album and support great music from great people. I also want to personally thank everyone involved in the making of Dillinger for putting forth your best effort in helping <a href=\"http:\/\/www.alexanderspit.com\/\">Alexander Spit<\/a> create a timeless album. <\/p>\n<p>&#8211;<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TruthSpits\">Henry the PharaoH<\/a><\/p>\n<p><center><iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 85%; height: 120px;\" src=\"http:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=746248078\/size=medium\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/transparent=true\/\" seamless><a href=\"http:\/\/dillinger.alexanderspit.com\/album\/dillinger\">Dillinger by Alexander Spit<\/a><\/iframe><\/center> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Artist: Alexander Spit Album: Dillinger Released: November 12, 2013 Tom Waits.
