Status the Marlboro Man – Gods Illa | audio
GODS ILLA is the title track from the new album by Underground emcee and producer Status The Marlboro Man. This is dark Underground Boom Bap at its finest. Metaphoric punchlines and gruff delivery spearhead this banger into the Underground scene like a torpedo. Brooding violins and classic drum loops set a soundscape reminiscent of a 1930s gothic horror film.
Status is an avid user of classic beat making equipment, and the gritty production on Gods Illa proves why sometimes the classics are better. Gods Illa is produced on the Akai MPC 2000xl. Fans of Jedi Mind Tricks, Nonphixion and Gravediggaz will appreciate the dark sound and subject matter. The title Gods Illa is a play on words, referencing both the Godzilla movies and Christian authoritarianism.
Status has been releasing top-tier Boom Bap for over 20 years. He has worked with Hip Hop legends Sadat X, Slaine, A-F-R-O, and more. Don’t sleep on this underground staple and add Gods Illa to your Hip Hop playlist today. Available Now on All Digital Platforms.
