With some standout verses on Palm Pact’s “Armada”, Bomber is starting off 2021 with a bang on his “Feed The County EP”.
What I like most about Palm Pact is the diversity of everyone in the crew. Bomber is definitely more about flexing and putting on for the city, which allows him to ride over trap bangers with ease. Bomber reminds me of a Tampa Bay Skepta, it’s more about how he says stuff rather than what he’s saying.
The intro “Make It Cook” sets up the theme for the EP, with Bomber cooking up for the entire Pinellas County.
One of my fav tracks is the piano based “It’s Always Wartime” with one of my favorite lines being “I’ve been Tom Brady, even before he came to Tampa”. I am not sure of the sample but it has a “Kingdom Hearts” vibe to it.
Despite this being a Bomber solo project, some of the other Palm Pact members are spliced throughout the album. Ryan Rev adds some melody to “Come Correct” which is bound to get the crowd hype whenever it comes on at upcoming shows. “Let Me Know” is on some more chill vibes with an airy beat. Euphemistic’s fast tempo flow is a nice change of pace to change up the album, since Bomber usually has a slower flow. The album ends with a “Highway” featuring Kai Ken, who adds a more chopped up verse to the track, that fits with more of the chill vibe on the outro.
My second favorite track on the project is “Strange Days” produced by UAC’s Kmon Beats. The beat change after the chopped and screwed intro was a nice touch. Kmon blessed Bomber with more of a cloud rap style beat, but that’s not to say it still doesn’t have some knock to it.
Bomber is carving a lane for himself in the St.Pete Hip Hop scene. Not sure what he’s got primed for the rest of 2021, but I know once he finds all of the Chaos Emeralds he is poised to drop a classic.
