EP Review: Audio Hounds - F.L.O.A.T. (For Lack Of A Title)

Audio Hounds is a group of talented artist that comprises of both rappers and singers, with a line up of acts such as: (Tito Brown, Yeyo, Aino, Nik, and Emzzye) and they have released their first body of work dubbed F.LO.A.T (For Lack Of A Title) and this extended play consist of Five (5) tacks with all members of Audio Hounds fully represented on this project.The F.LO.A.T (For Lack Of A Title) was released on the 26th day of April, 2019, and with production credit going to Wode Magic. This is one project we are excited to listen and review considering we have reviewed works from talented members of the group in the past, so hopefully this should be worth the listen.   



BBM (Aino, Tito Brown & Yeyo): Audio Hounds kicks off F.L.O.A.T (For Lack Of A Title) with this scintillating mid-tempo record with Aino lending his brilliant vocals to a record heavily supported by the sound of the keyboard and with two solid rap verses by Tito Brown made it one of the best record off this project. BBM is a love story beautifully written to depict an attraction one could have for another using social media analogy and they delivered good on this record. 



Borizz (Tito Brown, Emzzye & Aino): This is what you call a true hip hop record, which has that hard bounce off the beat and snare of the drums and we also see Tito Brown and Emzzye adding depth to Borizz with their bars and most especially the hook of the song that goes like; ''Keep it on the low even the devil don't notice/Keep it so low like me without the bro dis (Yeah)/ tie my guns like i don't know where the bow is/said he got roll like borizz.'' And Aino is not left out too as we see him switching his style to suit a hardcore beat and he was such a good vocal compliment on the record. This one is by far one of the dopest hip hop records i have heard out of Nigeria in a while and it is also a solid track off the F.L.O.A.T (For Lack Of A Title) project. 



Zombie (Tito Brown, Aino & Emzzye): This is a playful and up beat record which Tito Brown kicked off with some witty lines and with his rap tempo ushers Aino into the record and being a perfect compliment to the song which has an amazing chorus that interprets  Zombie as the title track.This is one of the best produced record off this project with all the right elements that makes a record very likable and also it gave the track a bit of that nostalgic retro vibe. great job!     




Exes (Nik, Tito Brown, Emzzye, Aino Yeyo): This is a brilliant breakup song that Nik, Tito Brown, Emzzye, Aino and Yeyo have schemed together and it is a solid one. The mid-tempo track dubbed Exes is that record which allows you to appropriate the songwriting delivery everyone on the track had both the rappers and singers. Thereby, making the song an amiable record we can all relate with when it comes to issues in relationships. The Exes also has that modern day trap music vibe that kept the song fresh to be that likable track. 




Gorilla (Nik, Yeyo & Emzzye): This is  one creative record off this extended play as we see Nik, Yeyo and Emzzye all displaying their creative writing skills on this soothing acoustic centered record which is complimented with explicit lyrics that are not necessarily heavy to the ears but very interesting to listen and easy to digest. The other impressive aspect of this track is that it has the semblance of that trap/808s vibe but with just the right proportion to keep the record fresh. Gorilla is by far my best record off the F.L.O.A.T. (For Lack Of A Title) and is certainly a music collector item and deserves a well executed video. This is that kind of record you want to go watch at a live concert. Excellent work!
 


Here are my final thoughts on the EP review of  ''F.L.O.A.T. (For Lack Of A Title)'' it was a good listen and the records off the project are such that grow on you and leave a lasting impression. However, it would have been a great idea for Audio Hounds to have added a couple of voice skits on the project to introduce fans and listeners alike on what Audio Hounds are about. The combination of Tito brown, Aino, Nik, Yeyo, and Emzzye is a great mix which gives their sound a unique touch. Therefore, in my conclusion and rating of ''F.L.O.A.T. (For Lack Of A Title)'' would be an 8/10.
