After finishing 2021 with EMRDLN and starting 2022 with various singles, Kris Rakim recently delivered the follow-up to the previously mentioned album, EMRDLN 2 (MVSA), a project that continues to show the artist’s rapping abilities and adaptive nature towards different sounds. EMRDLN 2 (MVSA) starts with “Con Calma”, a display of lyrical ability by the artist where he touches on various themes. Afterwards, “Kyrie II” is a hardcore boom bap rap track that allows Kris Rakim to show off his techniques on the mic. Then “Fre$h Prince” is another tune full of flexing as the musician takes on beat inspired by trap and drill that’ll hypnotize listeners with its string sample. Next “No Forcen” is another song that continues exploring similar genres as the previous as Rakim continues exploring bass-heavy sounds mixed with a bit of melody. Later, “En El Club” continues the trap and drill mix in a sex-driven record made for late-night parties and strip clubs. The second half starts with “Bailando Sola”, a collaboration with Yirex that has both artists delivering a house banger. After that, “Pa’ Olvidarte” finds Rakim mixing trap elements with reggaetón in an exploration of heartbreak. Subsequently, “La Bendición (Mvsa Interlude)” is a collection of blessings by people close to Kris Rakim over a hypnotic boom bap beat. Finally, “Mvsa” closes the project with some hardcore boom bap where the young rapper flexes his lyrical status while reflecting on his creative process and status in the industry.
In closure, Kris Rakim’s EMRDLN 2 (MVSA) is a great sequel to the original as the young musician manages to deliver rap heavy tracks while showing his versatility over other genres like house music, reggaetón, drill, and more.
