In a world full of social media and shock-value antics, it’s hard for people to fully grasp the true understanding of what an artist might be putting forward. Living life authentically is even harder without some form of backlash. However, amidst the social frustrations, there are a few who manage to slip through the cracks, and Deez Inglez happens to be one of them.
Hailing from Inglewood, CA, rap artist Deez Inglez has spent the past couple of years dropping consistent heat in the music circle, establishing himself as one of the more underrated lyricists on the West Coast. His broken flow transcends the times, reminiscent of artists like E-40 and Blueface, who prioritize spitting game over rhyming words. Now, he’s back with another extended EP, fittingly titled “Misunderstood.”
The 9-song project is a captivating blend of nostalgic beats intertwined with modern lyricism, drawing inspiration from Inglez’s hometown stories and tribulations. Kicking off with “I Seen It All” featuring Lovey Jean and produced by Local Astronauts, the track sets the tone with a smooth, melodic sample, allowing Deez to narrate his experiences within the luxury lifestyle he’s accustomed to. Tracks like “2-3 Zone,” “Niiiice,” and “Avez” featuring Jojo maintain the energy with production reminiscent of Currency and Griselda.
Standout records like “Pressure” featuring Planet Asia and “The Industry” featuring the late great OYG Redrum showcase Deez Inglez’s wordplay and witty flow. “Misunderstood” emerges as a dynamic project suitable for a drive on PCH or navigating the streets while grinding. Just remember, whenever you play it, keep the Inglez in it.
