“Turn Off All That Weak S@#t” is an unapologetic call to action by the duo Dios Negasi and Tone Fultz, aka MESSIAH OF MADNESS, to discard the wackness populating our eardrums. Bolstered by punchy drums, crackling sample chops that evoke urgency and alacrity, Tone Fultz proceeds to shatter the norm with his expressive and commanding flow and no-holds-barred lyricism. All the i’s and t’s are dotted and crossed on this one.
The track is lifted from the newly released Iron Angeles LP (out now via all streaming services), and is a welcome return to the rugged n’ real hip-hop of the golden age.
A cross-country link-up as Tone Fultz left his lab in Pittsburgh to record in Reagan Era’s home turf of Los Angeles. As the producer states “though the Steel City is a cloudy and dark place and Los Angeles is known for its sunny weather, the two have a long history of creating legendary music together including Mel-Man and Sam Sneed’s work with Dr. Dre and Bud’Da’s producing ‘Bow Down’ for Westside Connection.” This extends to the album voice-over which makes the project feel like a long-lost blaxploitation action flick of the grimiest proportions.
