Deleteglitch & Breezy Montclair- The Following is Forbidden

There comes a time when two artists of a similar style and sound join forces to create magic on a track or project. Masters of the Tampa Bay “Drum Less” abstract sound, Deleteeglitch & Breezy Montclair craft one of my favorite collab EPs of the year “The Following Is Forbidden”.

🏕️💯🐙💡😈

The opening track “Emeka Okafor Freestyle” hits your like a car wreck. The screeching production could be overwhelming for some emcees, but Glitch & Montclair sound right at home. It was dope to see Glitch & Breezy go back to back with the verses, adding to that freestyle vibe.

This is my shit right here. “Hair In The Wind” featuring production from Glitch & Breezy is a master class on using the beat chop as a drum rather than actual drums. The sample is bonkers on some Russian Roulette shit. Glitch’s ad libs really shine on this joint, with him sounding out of control. Breezy pull up the track with that braggadocio raps and double time flow, claiming him & Glitch are “the only ones making it shake”. The visuals for this one came out really dope by the homie Cmpser. Easily one of my favorite singles of the year.

“Down” reminds me of being inside a casino. Breezy always kills it with the wonky slow flow, adding to the looped vibe of the production. Sometimes beat chops can get tired but I could here them rap over it all day. That F rhyme scheme towards the middle of Glitch’s verse where he speaks on “freaky foxes” was a standout on this project.

“Draconian” reminds me of the old school “Outer Limits” intro. It’s pretty wild how good these dudes can flow over such abstract production. Other than “Hair In The Wind” this is probably my favorite beat. Glitch enters storytelling mode on his verse. That “Wow!” ad lib is top tier.

I believe “Oven Mitts” was the first time I heard Glitch & Breezy collab, off last years “Primordial Soup EP” which you should check out if you haven’t. This was the moment when I was like, “Yo we need a Glitch & Breezy collab project”. This track just feels like we are all tripping in the field from “Midsommer”, without all the weird cult shit.

“Hold Me Down” features production from Skully Cipriani, who really killed it with those backing horns.I dig the way Breezy kicks off the track, sounding scattered with his flow but it just fits the whole vibe. Both Skully & Glitch adapt to Breezy’s slow flow and continue the vibe with their verses. I mess with how old and dusty the production sounds.

The project ends on “From The Sky”. Breezy starts things off with a bit more high energy, spitting those braggadocious bars. This one is a certified head knocker. That old school wrestling interlude was a vibe for sure, while Glitch enters the ring. On certain faster paced tracks like this Glitch always brings that best in the game energy, sounding like he can’t be touched on the mic by anyone.

With this sound continuing to bubble up from Breezy & Glitch, to the likes of Skully Cipriani, and Junkyrd, I could easily see this project going down in the books as a genre defining project. Breezy & Glitch have both delivered stand out projects this year as solo efforts, continuing to push the sound and movement into greater heights.

Deleteeglitch- How To Make A Tissue Dance EP

We take another trip into the mind of Deleteeglitch, on his latest EP “How To Make A Tissue Dance.”

🏕💯🐙💡

Whenever I listen to Glitch he puts me in a wonky space, sort of how David Lynch films make me feel. Apparently recorded while battling a sickness, we the listener also experience the sickness of the music with production handled by DØØFUS, giving the “Walking Error” room to breath on the beats.

I love how “GOTHROCKVOYCE” starts out with the weird bells, and Glitch just spitting “yo yo yo yoyoyo yo yo”. Glitch just hits this pocket on certain beats, where you just get hit with a barrage of bars, but it’s not on some lyrical miracle shit, just good Hip Hop.

“INFRAREDINCUBUS” featuring ROMAN is by far the wonkiest production on the project. ROMAN always does his thing when he pops up on a Glitch track, brining that boom bap vibe. Standout bar for me is that one where Glitch spits “I was twelve rapping off of Dilla beats”.

My favorite track on the project is “SNOTTRAWKETS”. Anytime Glitch is over some creepy production I am here for it. The beat by DOOFUS sounds like it could be from the sixties film “The Naked Kiss”. That constant “Dooo Doo Dooo” will get stuck in your head. You can hear Glitch sneeze and cough at the beginning of a couple of these joints, making the sickness element really hit home, despite how sick he feels, the “Walking Error” has gotta drop that heat. At this point is it the drugs or the Benadryl.

Deleteeglitch kept it short and sweet on this one, which is really all he needs to do at this point. Die hard fans are still running “Whispers Of The Wayside” which is reaching Classic status, or his previous effort “Primordial Soup”. This is how you stay active and relevant, without having to drop full bodies of work. Just drop little nuggets here and there to keep the fans hungry for the big ones. The theme and reality of the project made it feel more then just a 3 track EP, little things like that are what make Glitch one of my favorites in the game.
