War Poetz Confront Success and Survival on That's Good
A bi-coastal hip-hop connection built on raw street poetry and heavy basslines.
By Markus ·
Long-time collaborators War Poetz strip away the industry polish on 'That's Good', a standout track from their album 'The Image War'. Tracked coast-to-coast between Long Beach and the East Coast, the production leans on heavy, hard-hitting drum foundations and raw low-end grit captured through Neumann mics and Avalon pre-amps. The arrangement stays out of the way, giving the vocals complete floor space to drive the track forward.
LeoBreeze and EllztheGreat use their verses to balance the reality of escaping institutional poverty against the weight of the people left behind in the trenches. The chemistry is obvious, built from years of growing up in tough neighborhoods rather than superficial studio pairings. It is a mature, reflective slice of underground rap that values technical, real-world substance over easy club hooks.
