‘The Underdogs’ is the new beat tape from King Wizard alongside his Underdog Music partners Alderman and Big Papa Harvey. This tape is straight banger after banger – no filler tracks here. The drums slap and the melodies are simple but perfectly formed. You don’t miss the vocal at all – this is a perfect example of the art of the beat tape. These tracks stand alone as a body of work.
This five track epic is a journey through the sound of trap music in 2020 going into 2021. The 808s hit hard, with great punch and intent. The kick pounds your ear drum. The snare seems to jump out from the speakers and punch you in the teeth. The hats are present and give the beats that groove and energy without being distracting. King Wizard’s trademark melodies go from beautiful to sad to high energy to straight trap vibes. There’s so much variation in this tape. By the time you reach the end of the last track, all you want to do is rewind and go back to track one and experience it all again.
The piano and the guitar have been two of the signature sounds of trap music in 2020. Luckily for King Wizard, he is an absolute master of each, with endless videos on his Instagram of him ripping and shredding on live instruments. His feel and skill are virtually unmatched – it’s well worth checking out, with a regular flow of new content. You can see why so many people have referred to him as a genius – it’s hard to explain this level of talent with any other word. You can see his epic content for yourself here: @iamkingwizard
Wizard’s Underdog Music have been responsible for a whole host of great records –their producers have cut tracks for a list of artists as long as my arm – Wiz Khalifa, NBA Youngboy, Lil Durk, Smoke Purp, Toosii, YFN Lucci, Lil Tecca, Famous Dex, Swae Lee. It would almost be easier to list the artists that Underdog Music haven’t worked with!
All of their experience working with these major artists has gone into this beat tape, and it shows. The result is really a stand out release. I’m sure they are very excited for all of their fans and followers to finally hear their beats play out without the help of another artist lacing the beat with a dope vocal. The fans won’t have long to wait – ‘The Underdogs’ is scheduled for global release in Early December. King Wizard, Alderman and Big Papa certainly possess a talent which the world needs to see more of.
