Queens emcee and Broken Home affiliate Eff Yoo drops his latest solo project The Eff Word on April 21st. . Here’s my take on the album! Also peep the visual for the title track after the review. Check it out!
The Eff Word by Eff Yoo
01: The Eff Word
This was such a good opening track and sets the entire vibe for the project. Plus, the scratches and the samples? You know how I love some dope cuts and scratches. *In rotation
02: Burgundy Boat-shoes
This track took me by surprise. It has a real cool jazzy vibe to it. This track gave me a crazy visual of Eff on the deck of a Mississippi riverboat with a jazz trio behind him and he’s wearing…what else? Burgundy Boat Shoes! And for my own visual enjoyment maybe a matching velvet suit…ijs
03: Alpha Mega
I’m glad Eff decided to throw this on here. Digging this!
04: The Great Escape
This song was right on time when it comes to placement. The right type of hype. I’m really digging this track and Eff’s storytelling abilities. I love the newscast ad-libs too. *In rotation
05: God Hates Me
Dopeness! This is one of my favorite tracks on the project. When you hear it you’ll understand *In rotation
06: Archie Bunker
When I saw the title I was like what? Eff’s flow on this is sick. This is another banger. When you hear the hook you’ll get the title. Word!
07: Interlude
It’s an interlude! What more can I say.
08: Peach Marmalade
After my third listen through I realized this is one of my favorite tracks as well. This shit is so silky the name fits it perfectly. Don’t look at me like that! *In rotation
09: Chinese Super Ninjas Ft. Broken Home
One of only two features on the EP. It was like a shot of caffeine. Again placement is so important on a project! This is ill no doubt but the fact that it follows the smoothness that is Peach Marmalade gets you super (see what I did there?) hyped. *In rotation
10: Indiscriminate Shots Ft. Big Noyd
Another banger! I have to say this was a great feature even though I like how Eff kept the project feature light.
11: The Last Word
I love the way Eff Yoo decided to close this album. Salute!
This was a dope project. If I had one complaint it would be that it was too short! Fans of Eff will be pleased and new fans will get a glimpse of the artist that is Eff Yoo as well as the dope producer Rediculus. This album has some rewind worthy tracks and several have gone on my rotation list. Overall I would say that it is definitely worth the cop! Scy approved!
