Jazzy instrumentals and intricate rhyme patterns make this release from the Spillage Village representatives stand apart from the new coterie of Atlanta hip-hop artists. Whereas SoundCloud has generated an affinity for post-structure, EarthGang embodies the creative space that still exists within the genre’s constructs. “Nowhere Fast,” shows a vulnerability that few are able or willing to articulate. Regarding a call with his father, Venus raps, “I hope he picking up the love inside my inflections, cause lately life done got my spirit on a bench press.” Likewise Venus, likewise.
