Las Vegas emcee Ouija Macc returns a year after Detritus with his fourth LP. Signing to Psychopathic Records shortly after Insane Clown Posse independently released their debut EP Trashfire in the fall of 2017, Ouija exploded onto the scene and has since proven himself to be one of the most consistent and hard-working guys in the underground by dropping his last 3 albums. one. He even started his own label, Chapter 17 Records, and had mogul HEXXX be the first signee to release his first two albums, Demon Season and Tales of a Cursed G, before amicably fulfilling the contract last fall all contractual obligations with Psychopathic subsidiaries. Darby O’Trill is now the only C17 artist other than Ouija, who collaborated on their excellent collaboration “Anemoia” a few months ago back in April. Now that he had almost perfectly completed the Elemental series on Stalewind during the Dream Gathering, it was finally time for the planet Darcc to ascend 6 months after Corruptus.
Following the “Signal Interruption Event” intro, first track “Psychocidal” begins with Devereaux’s dark trap instrumental detailing the psychopathic mentality possessed by a Ouija board, while “Macc Mode” steals from the rich and works in handcuffs He killed a pig for them. “Labiaplasty” works with some bells and cymbals explaining that all killers know they won’t come back, but then the rubbery “Baton” by Shaggytheairhead talks about the kind of psychotic shit in Chapter 17 and Psychopathic.
“Sin City” brings a fog-trap beat that reminds everyone where he comes from, right before “Boomshaka” serves as a uniquely crafted sequel to “Chicken Huntin’,” which has given me a lot of love since the Slaughterhouse remix. Huge smile. “Last Laugh” contains a manic trap direction that wants to know who the hell they’re laughing at, while “Sun Don’t Shine” ends the first half with some emo rap shit about how life is getting dark.
Beginning another Darcc Planet set, “Juggular Vein” gives a burying ground to juggalos and underground music in general, while the five-and-a-half-minute “For the Tombstone (When I Go)” is the creepiest moment here One of the best Ouija board songs ever written, it sounds like he saw it as a parting open letter to the day he was no longer with us. “Dance of Murder” is a hellish admission that “C17” isn’t for everyone, while “Moonlight Dungeon” morbidly talks about the ax chopping forever.
“Butternuts” hauntingly welcomes listeners to the side of death, while “Tropicana Ave” mixes guitars and hi-hats about being so fucked up that you can’t keep your head down. “My Luv (Sometimes)” attempts to flip the backpack and run the bag with an angry beat, while the somber “Prophet Paint” declares the evil clown paint to be prophetic. “Deincarnation” ends the album depressingly with a guitar/trap fusion that will hopefully be his last.
Stalewind has quickly become one of my top 4 favorite LPs over the past few years, and Darcc Planet certainly reaches the same level as the last installment in the Elements series did with Dream Party. As the title suggests, this is the darkest material the C17 executive has conceived on his own since going solo in 2017, and you can hear how much he’s grown artistically since then.
Rating: 9/10
