On RUFFS, his loyalty to his vision pays off. In Mason’s case, loyalty doesn’t mean fidelity to a single style so much as it means trusting that your skill and passion will carry your ambitions home. It’s for real death over dishonor,” he said in an interview last year. On “333 / Atom,” he makes the connection more spiritual: “I pray to puppies ’cause I think they listen/They brought me pussy and paper and pistols.” As much an evolution of the bridge between rock and hip-hop established by groups like Korn as it is of the moody funhouses of Young Nudy or Lucki, Mason’s music shares the attentive ear and sharp focus of the animals he loves. “Zoomies” compares his tendency to “run through this shit” to an overexcited pet’s burst of energy. As he confides in love interests and homies and mourns innocence lost to early exposure to Glocks, Mason’s writing cracks the door to his personal life just wide enough to foster connection without giving away all the details.Ī special relationship with dogs helps to flesh out his emotions. Clever images and wordplay litter every song-he pulls a gun clip back with his thumb like the secret handshake from Hey Arnold! on “Zoomies” and, on “Shell,” remembers growing up “too broke to know what a break meant, but not enough to do a break-in.” There’s plenty of young-adult angst to go around, but it never feels juvenile. It’s thrilling to hear Mason rattle off schemes, but his raps aren’t technical just for the sake of it. “Halloween” and “RX” span staccato sing-raps and stadium-sized croons, which are different from the sturdy flows over samples and hi-hats on “Halos” and “Shell,” which are different from the bouncy raps and melodic touches that dot later tracks like “Spin N Flip” and “Givenchy.” RUFFS never goes too deep into one sound its colorful musical footnotes melt and pool like wax around a candle. He blazes through the reverb’d frenzy of opening track “Zoomies” and mid-album highlight “Nosedive” without so much as an exhale, yet manages enough switches not to get stale. He’s not exactly charting unexplored terrain like quinn or Redveil, but his wanderlust has coagulated into something more singular: A world where puppies are royalty and contemporary Southern rap and rock go hand-in-hand.Īs a rapper, Mason has an unnerving sense of control, and his deadpan voice makes it all the more impressive when he pulls the ripcord and effortlessly demolishes bars. On his loosely canine-themed new album, RUFFS, Mason’s genre agnosticism becomes virtually seamless, disinclined to draw your attention to the fact that any fusion is occurring at all. As he’s matured, his ambitious musical hybrids detract less from the raw yet clinical writing style that’s made believers out of Denzel Curry and Freddie Gibbs.
I bet that one won’t have six-wheels though.Mason has been calibrating this bombastic combo since his 2020 debut, Angelic Hoodrat, a fast-paced mix of alternative rock, trap, and R&B. It does seem like a bit of an odd choice at this point though, considering General Motors is deep into their plans of reviving the Hummer nameplate at this point. We’ll give them credit where it’s due, they certainly captured a bit of those truck’s ridiculous nature with this one here. One glance at the truck and it is clear that the team behind it were fans of the Hummer H2 and H3 SUVs. Perhaps the craziest part about the Bureko 6×6 pickup is the styling. The more powerful engines are backed up by a forged crankshaft and camshaft, an upgraded high-performance fuel system, a forged transmission converter, as well as a forged driveshaft and axle shafts. There are also six powertrain options available, ranging from the standard 420 horsepower LT1 V8, on up to a stroked and supercharged 7.0L unit that features 1,200 horsepower. For those keeping score, that is more than a whole foot longer than the famous Mercedes G63 6×6. The resulting $140,000 product is an absolute unit of an Eastern Block truck, measuring a hair over 20 feet in length and weighing in at 6,085 pounds. The Bureko 6×6 pickup is based off of the previous generation Chevrolet Silverado 1500 on the GM K2XX platform, which is imported before undergoing the dramatic transformation. That’s right folks, the Czech Republic now has a six-wheeler to call their own. But now, it is time for the InstaBros of the Czech Republic to have their time to shine thanks to the Bureko 6×6 pickup. Whether it be of the Hennessey, Land Rover, or Ford variety, we have all seen influencers showing off their six-wheeled beasts tackling the trendiest of city corners. Despite their general lunacy and preposterous proportions, these Polymelia-inflicted pickups have captured the hearts of many. In recent years the world has become obsessed with 6×6 pickup trucks.
