The multitalented 9henom takes us on a ride with his latest demo project “Playtime!”.
“Applause” starts things off, with 9henom hitting that double time flow. The subdued beat allows you to fully take in 9henom’s vocals. I really mess with that echo effect used towards the end of the song.
“Plastic (Rough)” brings that playful vibe 9henom is known for when it comes to production. The wonky beat fits 9henom’s scattered flow on this one. The beat on this track reminds me of some Wii sports vibes.
“Mc Royale With Cheese” has a funky vibe to it. 9henom hits the double time flow a bit on this track, hitting the listener with a barrage of bars. You can really hear the fun 9henom is having just spitting off the dome. I’d like to see visuals for this one.
The “Palm Trees (Interlude)” is a different vibe. I dig the almost disco vibe from the production. Not many people can pull off a track like this but 9henom has the vocal range to nail it.
“Faded” has a bit of a grungy vibe to it at first, but when 9henom starts spitting it comes of more lighthearted. Dope track to sing along with.
“Piggyback” produced by 7spellz has a bit of Soufien3000 sound to it. The touches of chopped and screwed elements add to the more braggadocious tones in the song. The vocal change up towards the end of each verse are a nice change of pace.
“My God” is hard hitting but also soulful. Some of my favorite 9henom tracks are the one that have a bit of Drum and Bass sound, with his higher pitched vocals over it, giving the track a nostalgic almost disco sound.
“Dénouement” is so epic. 9henom’s flow and rhyme scheme fits the atmospheric beat. 9henom really brings it with the bars, showing he is a top tier emcee in the scene. One of my favorite songs on the album.
“Joker” closes out the project on some cool laid back vibes. This that song you just play chilling pool side. This track has a tad bit of West Coast energy which really works for me. That “Hills Have Eyes” line was so cold. Really chill song.
The only thing this project is missing is “Tru Story” but I feel that will make its way onto 9henom’s next project. For a demo album this is really good quality. It’s been a minute since we heard from 9henom and he picked up right where he left off. Shout out to The Playground.
