38 Spesh, the King of Upstate, returns with his highly anticipated sequel to the 5 Shots EP, presenting 6 Shots: Overkill. This concise yet powerful collection of tracks is a testament to Spesh's consistency and mastery of the golden-era style of hip hop. Entirely produced by Spesh himself, the EP is a tight package of six full-length songs, plus an intro, all clocking in at just over 14 minutes.
Kicking off with the brief but impactful "6 Shots Intro," the EP quickly dives into the gritty boom bap beats of "The Showdown" and "Dirty Revolver." The collaboration with Ransom on "Mind over Matter" adds a dynamic layer to the project, showcasing Spesh's ability to blend his signature sound with other talented artists. The EP culminates with "Overkill," a track that leaves a lasting impression, and "Flour City 2," featuring Eto, which serves as a fitting finale.
Originally released digitally in July 2020, 6 Shots: Overkill was later pressed onto vinyl in a limited edition of 50 copies, making it a sought-after piece for collectors. The vinyl edition, released in April 2021, allows fans to experience the raw, unfiltered sound of Spesh's production in its purest form.
For those who appreciate the raw, unfiltered sound of East Coast and underground hip hop, 6 Shots: Overkill is a must-listen. It's a quick but powerful journey through the mind of 38 Spesh, showcasing his lyrical prowess and production skills. Whether you're a longtime fan or new to his music, this EP is a testament to Spesh's artistry and his ability to deliver consistent, high-quality hip hop.
