Violentlyill - The Iconoclast (Review)
(Ill Records 27th November 2020)
N.I based beat-maker Violentlyill has just released his full length, all instrumental album "Iconoclast" on Ill Records. Listeners are in for an absolute treat here and for those that don't know - "an Iconoclast is a person who attacks settled beliefs or institutions" this is exactly what he sets out to do on this wonderfully produced project.

This ain't your average beat tape bulked up then haphazardly thrown together and passed off as an actual release - A lot of hard work and time has gone into crafting this dusty Boom Bap offering. There's clear intention and a continual theme running throughout, sonically it's really diverse yet still recognisable as a product by the same producer. The beats are complex as a multitude of vocal and spoken word samples are sprinkled generously throughout the multi-layered tracks giving it a unique and appealing sound.
