Corpus Christi, Texas Commander Vino La Mano has finally released his full-length debut studio album. After signing the Black Soprano Family Record Imprint, he attracted Buffalo’s remarkable butcher Benny the Butcher, who will drop 18 EPs between 2019 and early 2024, most notably Trust and Blood & Fire circles. It’s been a while since I last covered him, although those earnings per share are starting for the Revenge Season.
Synth-Boom Bap introduces “I’m standing” about going out and taking it away, rather than waiting for something to come up, while the gritty “Louie V is like the power of “like power” promises that he can make the bricks disappear and fall into debt, thanks to the game’s contribution. “That’s my words” maintains the atmosphere of dark thriving bap, talking about dirty money and clean money spent the same amount before “midway”, pointing out that people say the game didn’t have it at the time.
“No problem” talks about from a place where he has to keep a heater in one place, and people show false love, causing “Build Yo Team” to strip the drums when those who doubt that he has been wondering about the people he wants to catch him when he lacks praying themselves. “Outta Love” ridiculously points out that a person needs stripes to talk to him while “speaking pride” and discovering that he talks to his audience from a place of self-esteem.
As for “hit the scene”, we bring Vino back to the boom period and talk about making his dream come true, even if he doesn’t do anything easily until “don’t love” pays tribute to the late DJ Shay and Bright the DJ Shay and Bright the New Love, a new love he doesn’t lie. “Nothing lasts forever” brings the key back to the discount that brags about being the truest, but “put it on my soul” and sees myself talking about never folding.
“Minutes of Pain” begins the final moment of revenge, depriving the drums of passion to heartbreak his chest, and “Something Not Change” talks about it as the most real song he’s ever thought of throughout his career, and I can’t interact with it. “Being a Dealer for a Long Time” finally ends Vino’s long-awaited introductory LP, reviewing his days on the street as he always does it until the music starts to get started.
Much of the potential I heard on previous EPS (especially the two EPs I have reviewed in the past) has gradually been revealed in the time and season of revenge, which has greatly raised the bar in all respects. Soul Monsters continues to serve as his in-house production team, building a thriving voice for the album & Vino’s pursuit of revenge, ultimately bringing himself to life.
Score: 7/10
