Rise and Grind 2019 Album

T-Rock Dark Cappa

Another few months, another T-Rock project. Here we have another collab album, following up from 'Bullet Klub'. The beats on this are mostly strong, high tempo, southern trap beats, produced by Mossberg, who T-Rock always sounds brilliant over, and provides enjoyable production from beginning to end. Dark Cappa (pronounced Cay-pa) is an acquired taste. I enjoy him more here than on some of his past material I've heard, but he is still by far the weaker rapper here. He has a gritty voice and doesn't flow as well as Rock. Cappa also only handles two of the hooks making T-Rock the predominantly heard artist on this project which is a definite positive. I do like when rappers trade bars on collab albums but again here it's just you do a verse, I'll do a verse, meaning it lacks that feel of authentic collaboration. Dark Cappa is the weak point, but he isn't weak enough to ruin this by any means and T-Rock is still yet to phone it in, always sounding passionate from the booth.
