Moody and introspective, Chris Gabo treats you with a melodic opening beat before unleashing a verse that’s fierce, powerful, and rivetingly relayed onto you. With a knack for storytelling and an even more welcome talent with wordplay and references, MEDUSA is a tour de force of hip-hop that’s as addictive for its flow as it is replay-able for its wizardry. Sonically, it’s perhaps in the choice of the beat that makes this piece stand out so distinctly. There’s a clear uniqueness in that atmosphere, a meld of something low-key yet still smashing with a bass that’s ominous and encouraging for Gabo to deliver his spitfire verses with pomp and splendour.
For purists and experimentalists alike, Chris Gabo delivers a track that’s equally entertaining and engaging. It’s fast, furious, and flavourful with a love for the game and a desire to look beyond.
