RJ Payne- LeatherFace 3 There will be Blood Review

My first formal introduction to RJ Payne was doing Screwball Radio and it was the song featuring Shyhiem the Rugged Child, and JoJo Pellegrino called Anarchy. I was completely blown away from the straight no holds barred approach, he picked the production that was met for your head to nod and most importantly. It kept true to the hardcore NY sound.

RJ Payne been doing this for a long time and with this Leatherface series, A new era of fans are getting a dose of the hardcore sh*t thats been missing. The New NY grimy sound is back and on Leatherface 3 There Will Be Blood, Its back with a fresh sound and don’t sound dated. What blew me away is that RJ has the goal completely DEMOLISH every track he’s on. Whereas many rappers get on dope beats and just coast.. RJ’s approach to the track is aggressive and he wants to literally murder everything is on. Similar to the approach emcees such as Big Pun took.. RJ Payne’s in your face, energetic bars. Check out songs such as Anarchy, Kane Vs Undertaker(featuring Flee Lord), Dead Serious, and No Mercy.

The Guest appearances from Inspectah Deck, Ras Kass, Shyheim, are also on Leatherface 3 and you can tell that they sound motivated in rapping with RJ Payne. The Leatherface Series is possibly one of the best trilogies in hip hop right now. RJ done found his lane and I can’t wait to hear what his next project gonna sound like. Definitely worth checking!
