Posted by New Jersey emcee Drazmatik returns with “Raised in the Wild,” an album inspired by the real-life challenges of a seasoned artist determined to leave an impact. Having lived through the pre-digital era, Drazmatik understands the power of direct-to-consumer connections, bypassing third-party services like streaming platforms. This approach has helped him cultivate a loyal fanbase, enabling a smooth transition into the digital age while maintaining a tireless work ethic.
“Raised in the Wild” features 15 tracks that highlight Drazmatik’s raw talent alongside a guest list predominantly made up of New Jersey artists. Each collaborator infuses their unique flair into the project, creating a cohesive sound that captivates listeners from start to finish. The album embodies a gritty, unfiltered essence while demonstrating the musical growth needed to stay relevant in today’s musical climate.
One standout track is “Strong Language,” a collaboration with fellow Jersey native TruWerds. This premium cut is a testament to the chemistry between the two artists, delivering quality performances that epitomize the concept of “steel sharpening steel.” As an early single off the album, “Strong Language” has already generated buzz, setting the stage for the rest of the project.
Another highlight is “Four for 4,” featuring frequent collaborator Killah Cal. The track samples the iconic Public Enemy record “Shut ‘Em Down,” which was also famously used in Notorious B.I.G.’s “10 Crack Commandments.” Drazmatik and Killah Cal exchange four-bar setups on each verse, feeding off each other’s energy and creating a dynamic synergy that’s palpable throughout the song. This type of chemistry is a consistent thread throughout the entire album.
“Raised in the Wild” stays true to the culture while signaling a shift towards lyric-driven music. As the evolution of Hip-Hop continues, Drazmatik is poised to turn up the heat with the summer season fast approaching. The album’s momentum is bound to soar with upcoming music videos for “Give the Town Some Hope” and the title track “Raised in the Wild” on the way.
