Heavy production blends a haunting and impressively unique leading riff combination, with classic rhythms and a clean-cut hip hop vocal. Paying tribute to the old-school legends whilst carving out a creative lane of his own, Mucky Woodz masters the space both musically and lyrically, for the fierce performative outpouring of Einstein.
Breathless and relentless in its layering of bars on top of bars, Einstein more than meets the needs of its distinct and anthemic set-up, with a story and delivery that demand attention. The confidence is undeniable, the flow faultless alongside this classic groove, and the lyrics and effects unite for a mildly theatrical array of ideas that naturally draw you in.
Coming through for just over two and a half minutes, the pace and presence of Einstein is intense, and quickly prompts classic and contemporary hip hop fans to hit play once again when the music comes to an end. At this point, the soundscape is unmistakable, and we’re more notably gripped by the development of this story.
What begins as a personal expression of self-belief and drive, soon evolves through various stages of wordplay and metaphor that impress all the more so – intertwining familiar references to money and success and street rap, with a more conceptually alternative thread of development; which maintains the underlying essence and inspiration of Einstein.
