Zelly Ocho’s “Dirty Drugs” recent album is a 14-track record full of (who would’ve thought) drugs, voice experiments, and heavy bass instrumentals. The autotune is not just present — it’s over the top, which makes it hard to understand the lyrics sometimes, but it also adds to the album’s overall atmosphere.
Multiple “Dirty Drugs” features include “Brand New” with Trippie Redd and “Cup of Ice” with Joeyy and Ricky Chix. Ricky Chix’s feature is particularly notable, as the artist’s nonchalant and unemotional voice perfectly complements the instrumental.
However, only some of the songs are so imperturbable. Tracks like “Dirt Bag” featuring Hunchozz sound energetic and attack mode, while singles like “Arm & Leg” or “Hate v” appear energetic and even somewhat whimsical.
Overall, Zelly experiments a lot throughout the record. There are constants such as autotune and deep bass, but also a lot of room for various moods. It may be over the top sometimes, but it works out in the artist’s favor since it adds originality to the sound.
Zelly also discusses numerous topics throughout the album. While many songs are about drugs, there’s room for reflections on life, concerns, etc. At the same time, the artist uses certain language and styles even when reflecting. The profound conclusions appear between the lines about drugs, weapons, etc.
In conclusion, Zelly Ocho’s “Dirty Drugs” is worth checking out. It’s experimental but has a signature style, which is, at the very least, catchy. An 8/10.
Together with an album, Zelly Ocho also released the “Upgraded Boss” music video. Throughout the clip, the artist appears to be enjoying life, smoking, and hanging out with his friends.
The song itself is full of heavy bass and autotune, while the video appears to have many animated effects.
