twohorizonra & Por Vida - Blue Heron (EP)
Continuing his streak of successful collaborations, Por Vida links up with his PNTHN brethren twohorizonra to unleash a monumental shift in this 8-track EP titled “Blue Heron” that involves a captivating blend of chopped and screwed themes, jazz influences & prestigious raps. Exploring a vast array of self-determination and evolving from his previous album, “A New Chapter of the Same Shit," adds an intriguing dimension to the EP, showcasing growth in the process.
twohorizonra skillfully weaves in this R&B sample with his own screwed-toned vocals, elevating listeners to cruise control in the self-reliant realm portrayed by his project's title. Transitioning to "Disco Bop" with an excellent jazz sample, his Texas charm and nonchalant mannerisms infuse suaveness into his impeccable delivery. He remains charged up with charisma throughout the remaining releases, providing an onslaught of bars in a ritzy nature where joints like “King Kong” & “Boi” give a delightful appearance in perfect placement, especially when being swallowed up in the city lights while the record spins. Notably, "Most Hated" is the only record to receive a visual treatment, offering a captivating look at Por Vida's production, accompanied by Twohorizonra's eccentric performance style.
The project is a hidden gem that deserves more attention: a soothing experience put on by the production with a Texas-inspired design curated by twohorizonra to uplift listeners. The collaboration is ruthless and certainly needs a 2024 follow-up, as this became one of my top 10 for the year due to its popularity in the hip-hop scene, creating something special and unique. We highly recommend you check out the project below and share it on all social media platforms to get someone hooked today.
