Hear Buffalo rapper 7xvethegenius’ non-fictitious new album ‘Death of Deuce’

Today, a firm rapper named 7xvethegenius shared a mighty new-age Hip-Hop album called ‘Death of Deuce’, where she divulges information close to her chest like sleeping on the floor (‘A Lesson’ implementing Five Stairsteps’ ‘O-o-h Child’), laying eyes a million dollars before earning hers (‘Triangle’) and questioning how one could buy a house with “street cred” for their mother (‘Graymatter’). For the remainder of the project, she pours her soul as a form of therapy (maybe) — letting her listeners know life hasn’t been peachy for her, the possible reality that she cannot “love right” (‘Dirty Nikes’), and more. Across the album, the Buffalo-bred emcee enlisted Hip-Hop stalwarts like Papoose, gifted Hip-Hop poet Keisha Plum, known for her illustrative dark compositions, talented R&B/Soul singer Raheem DeVaughn, and rising singer Drea D’nur.

If you want my thoughts, I enjoyed the project, especially the song featuring fellow Buffalonian rapper and labelmate Jae Skeese. The five-minute record stories past uncertainty and hefty struggles. From the beginning of the first verse, 7xvethegenius openly wishes slavery wasn’t part of our history, growing up without a father in the household, starting from the bottom, a forty-year prison sentence, and remedying the pain. In the last verse, her co-star explains how he nearly stopped rapping as a teen, the promise of opening for Pusha T, and general shortcomings. Wherever that person is, I hope they have stopped spreading disinformation and filling independent artists with pipe dreams. The music business is hard enough for artists without major cosigns and life-changing financial backing. The last thing we need is groups of people, making it harder for artists to make a living doing what they love.

If you’re missing the kind of Hip-Hop that, once categorised or seen as authentic or closer to the young genre’s original purpose, promotes introspective and relatable stories, it’s here. Indulge, please. It is out now through Conway the Machine’s Drumwork Music Group.
