South Texas artist Fatboyshaun has dropped off a fresh album, titled BLOOD ON MY CARHARTT. Containing production from Cuffedgod, esme, and A U R, and features from Estee Nack, Dobleon, Ricky Mapes, and anekah, BLOOD ON MY CARHARTT makes for an exciting listen with a set of 8 charismatic, raw joints. BLOOD ON MY CARHARTT finds Fatboyshaun lyrically focused once again, following up his imagery-rich, clever songwriting on projects like Evil Twin with Ricky Mapes and $100 Pasta Plates with Trox. On BLOOD ON MY CARHARTT, Shaun delivers a performance that is equal parts imposing and personal, demonstrating his ability to deliver both cathartic, hard-hitting verses and introspective cuts.
"Squid Rigatoni", featuring DOBLEON, presents a potent offering early in the track-list, setting the tone for the record with its powerful, triumphant sound and energizing flows. Atop gritty horns, elegant vocal samples, and a rich rhythm section, Shaun and DOBLEON deliver cutting verses that grasp the listener's attention with commanding mic presences and detailed lyricism. "FATBOYNACK", featuring Estee Nack, finds Shaun and Nack giving a hearty dose of lyrical realism atop nostalgic, vibrant soul samples- while "The Good Stuff" finds Shaun humorous and ceaselessly entertaining on the mic. "Heart on my Sleeve" is perhaps the project's most introspective cut, with thoughtful verses and an emotive delivery that showcase his versatility and ability to sound natural on both hard-hitting and vulnerable songs.
Released on Fatboyshaun's own imprint Fatboy Wreckords, BLOOD ON MY CARHARTT finds him poised and confident on the mic, and it impresses with diverse content atop a series of soulful, textural instrumentals.
