Peso Capone - Monopoly Language (Album)
Towards the end of September, Peso Capone quietly crept in with a unique project titled "Monopoly Language." It came unexpectedly but made waves in the streets, having fiends, crooks, killers, and overachievers listening closely to the tale of overpowering hustle and consequences that's embed in the hardcore poetry of Peso Capone's pen. It sends up street life economics to riveting heights that you can't help shed a tear to those who have fallen to it, but it's those gifted talents like Peso Capone that share its dark side. It's something made for those that think it's all an act, especially those who want to live the experience but can't handle the pressure; heed this warning, not everyone is made for this life.
Peso Capone is plugged in with a series of VenoTheBuilder production to elevate the streets' sound and upscale his pedigree as the face of it. He shares stories of the wicked intentions of people who want to see him 6 feet in the ground, but instead of slowing him down, it motivates him to continue onward with his successful design. He wakes up cash in his pocket and the harsh mentality of not knowing for sure if today is the day he meets his end, still he packs heat to make it a fight that if you want his life gone, you might lose an army in the process. The intro dives into the feeling of losing those around you while having to grieve on your own even though there are people with good intentions around you, but you don't want them to see you in a vulnerable state. His melodic tone is stunned throughout multiple gems off the project, and most times, I would have a problem with it being so long of an album. Still, because he is shedding his tears in a way, he knows how you have to take that as an expression of gratitude in this artistry. He's a modern Brad Jordan, not to where they sound alike but to where they preach the gospel of the streets in a way that strikes fear in most, but that's the truth they speak, and they take the pain they see and gift the listeners just a taste of it since they don't want to see them hungry to the lifestyle.
I've spilled nothing but pure honesty when I've spoken about Peso Capone. I genuinely believe he's something different in rap and that we should honor his presence. No matter if it's your cup of tea or not, he's telling it how it is, and he needs you to listen. Take this time to listen carefully to his words throughout the album and introduce it to someone who needs to hear it.
