Start Your 2025 with The Inner Realmz’ New EP “Mass Collide” (EP Review)

Posted by on

This is a brand new EP from California production team The Inner Realmz. Founded by Masta Cypher Devine & Goomson, they’ve been making waves in the west coast underground scene since the beginning of the current decade off their first 2 beat tapes SP 1000 and Build & Destroy followed by Low End Wizards as well as it’s sequel & Digital Chains. Goomson so happened to team up with Broke a year & a half ago for a collaborative beat tape Heavy Wreck displaying Broke’s talents behind the boards for Side A & of course Goomson on Side B except for Masta Cypher Devine doing the closer. Omnipotent masterfully selected & arranged jazz samples catching my attention this spring so with that in mind, it had me interested in where Mass Collide was gonna take it.

After the dusty “Fuck ‘Em” intro built around sampling a piano, the first track “Roughneck Reality” starts us off with a 4-minute boom bap instrumental that Goomson cooked up himself whereas “Passin’ Thru” feels like an old school beat that sounds like it was made in the early ‘90s. The keys throughout “Stress” feel every exuberant with the kicks & snares giving it a raw edge, but then “Don’t Shut Down on a Player” is ends the first half of the EP with a nostalgic vibe.

“Funky on the Track” lives up to it’s name excellently for 119 seconds blending elements of funk music & boom bap while “Misery” by Sirrealist & Vel 9 is the only cut on here with performed vocals, bringing them together talking about only seeing unhappiness & affliction. “Outra Vez” serves as the official outro hooking up a mellow backdrop with kicks & snares, but then the bonus track serves as a sequel to “Kick a Freestyle off Chapter 1.

Masta Cypher Devine left the group a little while ago hence why he didn’t have any involvement in making these beats at all & even Goomson saves his production skills for a couple joints, but Jon Deliz alongside Mike B & Ripe143 take up a bulk of the 23 minute listening experience by showing off what they’re capable of doing as producers & keeping The Inner Realmz’ jazzy boom bap sound going strong.

Score: 7/10
