As one of the most active hip hop artists on the scene, Ebano Flowlanski showed his workflow in 2021 by releasing a variety of projects and 2022 seems like it won’t stop him as he recently released his third project this year in the form of UNDERGROUND 3, another beat tape that continues to show his mastery of the boom bap sound while displaying his storytelling abilities and willingness to go outside of his comfort zone. The first part of UNDERGROUND 3 features the tracks “Ella Me Odia”, “Blunt Con Chopin”, “Punto Chinita”, “Queen Lust”, “Low Rider”, “1000 el G” and “Metodo Avispa”. These tunes display Ebano’s storytelling, sequencing, and his understanding over the classic boom bap genre. In addition, he manages to play around with psychedelic, trap and experimental sounds that make this project different from others he’s released recently. Afterwards, “Jerly Curl Anthem”, “Blunt Power”, “Status Vedette”, “Bliky Man”, “Let It Be Known”, “Ke Kiere Muzik” and “Presiona El Boton” serve as the second part of the project. These tracks kick off with a hypnotic boom bap loop as they continue to explore what seems like the story or thought process behind this beat tape: an introspective look at one’s status in the industry. At the same time, Flowlanski manages to display influences such as salsa, soul, and electronic music. Meanwhile, the closing track serves as a perfect closure that encompasses not only the sonic thesis, but also the thought process behind the entire production.
Overall, Ebano Flowlanski’s UNDERGROUND 3 is a demonstration of his command over boom bap while exploring different sounds and looking into his status in the industry despite his amazing workflow.
