Tizzy Gang ‘Opps Next Door Vol 1′ (Self-Release)
Tizzy Gang are comprised of Merky Ace, Cadell and Canadian spitter Tre Mission, all of whom are much better lyricists and beatmakers than given credit score for. ‘Opps Next Door’ marks their first album launch correct, and sees the trio trade flows over a outstanding 20 tracks, with further manufacturing from Faze Miyake and Filthy Gears, and visitor options from UK and Canadian artists together with MIK, Nasty Jack and Lord Cutty. The LP feels admittedly too lengthy and extra like a rap mixtape than a cohesive album, however perhaps that’s the purpose; why not? Merky’s move stays as potent as ever – on ‘Shekkel’, he sprays with a lot depth he appears to generate his personal beat as he spits – whereas Tre, the primary North American MC to actually fuck with grime, shines on ‘Breakfast’ and hard-as-nails vocal rally ‘Eski’.
