The CEO and artist from Pure Elementz Recordings LLC, C-Work is as innovative as he is daring; having grown during the good old era of the 90s and early 00s, he has become a vintage collector and bearer of that old school vibe as he seeks to use his limitless imagination to deliver music that fits the “timeless” phrase perfectly. A lyrical heavyweight and an honorary poet, his swiftness and way with words are second to none. For anyone who grew up consuming the real-rap hit classics which were not only authentic but also impactful; then perhaps there should be no other place for you other than inside C-Work’s antique discography!
C-Work is excited to announce the release of his 11-piece album dubbed, “Paper Elementz.” From this valuable collection that is highlighted from that chemistry-inspired cover art, you can only expect to be taken through a lyrical education in authentic rap music that pays homage to the quality to a genre as revered as hip-hop; so take a seat and let C-Work do what he was born to!
This article also seeks to recognize the effort of Anthony Papers; the mastermind behind all these tracks who, together with C-Work ingeniously produce each and every track here with admirable virtuosity making easy work for C-Work to deliver what is a masterpiece collection!
The “Intro (The Elementz)” which is just 50 seconds long welcomes you and prepares your senses for what is the lyrical trip of your lifetime. The whole nostalgic vibe and lyrical panache underscores what you will experience from this entire album. There is no better way I could think to get a listener acquainted with C-Work’s work than with this epic intro!
C-Work cracks the lyrical bottle in the track “Message in a Bottle” as he proves why he is the Black Panther roaming around with lyrical wisdom! His effortless demeanor on the mic over the soul-reaching beats is the mark of a consummate lyrist who was born with a talent on his hands!
It’s fascinating how I feel a kind of resemblance to a legend in the track, “Another Trip”; I feel like C-Work takes you through Curtis Jackson III’s lyrical school of thought in his own spectacular way which is really admirable. This tune is restorative and one to get you head and fist-bumping throughout its length
In “No Breakthrough”, C-Work goes extra hard with clever bars; exuding such maturity and confidence and perhaps highlights the truth that he has already been here and conquered and he truly is establishing his dominance once again. His smart rhymes cut through the fresh of the ears straight into a listener’s heart!
Asserting dominance over the nostalgic beats present in the unforgettably imposing “Paper Elementz”, C-Work is really at his best in this title track that really did hit a nerve in me. It is very catchy, delicious and particularly those hypnotic percussion in the beats that are addictive and unique to give it a trademark idiosyncrasy that makes this particular jam stand out.
There is a lot to vibe about even in the tracks, “Funky”, “Flights & Foreigns” and even “Ghost Face.” This truly has been the year we hip hop loyals have been feasting; from Drake & 21 savage’s joint effort, “Her Loss” down to Nas’ “KID III” and now we get “Paper Elementz” from someone who is see as a potential superstar and chart-topper in the hip hop world; – man I honestly couldn’t ask for more!
