Started by fraternal twin brothers sharing a musical language and towering command and mammoth liking for the real Hip hop, Mac and A.K. was found by Eric “Mac” Gordon and Keith “A.K.” Gordon and although the other half of himself “Mac” unfortunately passed on in 2013 he has been keeping the legacy alive with boundary-busting musical creations and he is now back with the lead single and video for the song “Gasoline” from the hugely anticipated Album, “Only The Strong” which promises to transcend the boundaries of imaginative creativity and diverse Hip hop sound. “Gasoline” is melodic with the reminiscence of the Old School Hip hop as it infuses a moderate tempo and a harmonic almost recognizable rhythmic beat that was synonymous with Notorious B.I.G’s own memorable Hip hop hit sounds.
He showcases an undeniable ability to layer his commanding vocals very effectively without compromising the flow or cohesion of the shimmering mid-tempo beats that have been imbued by turntable scratches, harmonic drum machines, a unique beat sampler and the intoxicating similarly evocative synthesized beat instrument. His lyrics thoughtfully explore and integrate with moderate effectiveness to the cohesive old school beats unfolding before him. The video is the perfect complement to the song with the sole focus on his trademark delivery as he walks on a narrow railway line and abandoned station all the while infusing his rapping in the most technical, intricate and calm ways while keeping the rhythm flowing and impeccably simple. His magnificent and resounding lyrical and vocal performance is the driving force behind this smashing hit music song and video which music listeners and lovers of Old School rap countrywide will easily gravitate towards. He does such a tremendous job capturing the lyrical shifts with his flawless rapping as he attacks the mellow Hip hop sound with a calm assuredness that speaks volume of his industrial maturity and assertiveness.
This is a song that is standing up and representing the heart and soul and the diversity of real Hip hop that the likes of Notorious B.I.G and Tupac Amur Shakur stood up for. It certainly is the perfect tribute song to his late twin brother “Mac”. It is an absolute pinnacle of Hip hop musical mastery and any real hip hop lover cannot wait for the Album to be released so they can drown themselves into its effervescent authenticity.
