LUCKI has been one of the most consistent rappers from Chicago for awhile now, and his new project titled Watch My Back only solidifies his throne as the Dark Prince of Chicago’s underground music wave. In fact, Lucki’s reach stretches way past Chicago with creative connections and fans all over the U.S. which end up making this a stand out tape for an artist who is often criticized for rhyming about the usual subject matter-xans, lean, and more xan.
The component that makes Lucki’s music so appealing and unique is that he takes the reality of drugs and addiction and makes his music just that, deadly addicting. First off, he has a real ear for production and supporting indie producers who have a sound of their own pays off way more than finding copycat mainstream sounds. He proves just that with the outstanding production assistance; from great Chicago talent such as uglyfriend, grimmdoza, and ANTI producers Plu2o_Nash, MayhemMeech, and AdioAnti, to the Philly Treadstyle Masters of Working on Dying like F1LTHY and Forza, to other notable producers such as dzy, Gnealz, Ravi, 6 Below, and Lilvoe. The last but certainly not the least important production contribution on the tape is most notable for his iconic work with A$AP back in the day, Clams Casino (clammyclams)
When listening to Lucki spit out self destructing, narcissistic raps in his signature drugged out cadence over ominous, evil beats, the listener embarks on a deadly sonic rollercoaster ride of some sort, a ride that demands to be taken again and again. Take the plunge and listen to Watch My Back below, I promise my fellow heathens and dirtbags of the world will be hooked instantly.
