Written By: Hip-Hop's Best Kept Secrets
Blaq Medici and Agallah The Don have joined forces to deliver a raw, unflinching statement with their new 10-track collaboration 暴力 BōRYOKU. The title translates to “violence” in Japanese. Right away, it sets the tone for the project.
Overall, the album becomes a sonic journey through struggle, grit, and survival. With Blaq Medici handling the boards, the production feels intentional and sharp. Meanwhile, Agallah steers the pen with veteran precision. As a result, the project feels less like a release and more like a declaration.
Agallah, a veteran who has long carried the torch for authentic New York rap, sounds reinvigorated over Medici’s cinematic production. The beats weave boom-bap sensibilities with layered textures that give each track a widescreen feel. Guest appearances from respected names like Planet Asia, Sadat X, and DJ Radiohead add weight, further rooting the project in hip-hop’s golden lineage.
Every record on BōRYOKU feels intentional, reminding listeners that hip-hop can still be uncompromising and true to its core while moving the culture forward. It’s not an album you casually skim — it demands to be heard front to back.
