Four years after opening his sophomore “Dia De Los Muertos” mix with an unreleased original, Boombox Cartel has finally delivered his highly-anticipated ID “Reaper” alongside Atlanta-based rapper J.I.D. The track serves as the lead single to Boombox Cartel’s upcoming Cartel II EP, which will be released in late May.
Beginning with a slinking trap beat and humming synth accents, J.I.D. weaves his instantly recognizable vocalwork through the whirling, winding instrumentals. The first drop growls and reverberates, delivering a heavy handed punch. Roping together hype hip-hop elements with brooding low-end dub and trap components makes for a menacing, festival-ready setlist weapon.
Recently, Boombox Cartel teamed up with Moody Good for the collaboration “Shadow.” Prior to that, the Mexico-born producer had released the highly anticipated track “All Again” with KRANE. Meanwhile, J.I.D. joined Jay Rock and Noname for a remix of Anderson .Paak‘s “Lockdown.” Listen to the pair’s “Reaper” below.
