Phlow & Alpha Ojini show their mettle on “The Coin”

There are two sides to every story, as Nigerian emcees Phlow and Alpha Ojini deftly illustrate on “The Coin.” The clever concept track, produced by Teck-Zilla, is a certified blapper with cheese that requires multiple listens to fully grok.

Like Rudy Gobert, Teck-Zilla does some serious work on the boards on “The Coin.” Teck arms a classic soul sample with thick trap drums to create a bangin’ canvas for Phlow and Alpha to splatter their witty bars and smooth harmonies. Both emcees are equally adept at boogie-boarding over Teck’s wavy instrumental, sporting multifaceted flows that culminate in a head-bobbing hook.

Flinging mud in the face of naysayers is a theme that will resonate with a wide swath of listeners. On “The Coin,” Phlow and Alpha effectively spray Roundup on the rumor weeds while hinting that it’s only a matter of time before they blow up. It’s hard to disagree.

Be on the looky for more heat from these three as 2022 keeps rolling.
