Intro/Outro beat by: BLOODBLIXING
Beginning of Episode (0:49).
In a myriad of different ways, Half God explores Wiki's home of New York through multiple angles, giving the listener a consistent thematic backdrop to discuss every way the city influenced and shaped the man he is today.
By discussing New York's deep hip-hop roots, gentrification, and growing up as a child in such a busy and often chaotic city.
All in all, giving us his most focused and developed lyrical performance of his entire career.
Wik has always been a better than average storyteller. But on Half God, Wiki doesn't just paint you a picture... he teleports you into his shoes to roam the NY city streets in his place.
His growth as a lyricist allows him to accomplish so many different things on a given track.
The song Roof is a vivid personal peek into Wiki’s childhood home. Throughout this track, it's incredible how great he’s become at one, giving you pieces of himself, amidst a flurry of sometimes, funny, dark, and harsh pictures that his almost stream of consciousness style provides.
It’s a style of lyricism that flexes how loose he can get rapping, while not actually falling off track. The subject matter seems so organic and spur of the moment, while still maintaining a focus that is incredibly sharp.
More than anything, Half God is intentional. It knows exactly what it wants to be, which I believe positively affected Wiki's ability to stay focused, while not losing the loose flair he's been known for.
Wiki always had this consistent North Star on the record to guide him... home.
