Elcamino's "Don't Eat the Fruit" is a gripping journey through the gritty underbelly of urban life, delivered with raw authenticity and a boom bap beat. Released on March 15, 2019, under the Anti Gun Violence Co. label, this underground hip hop album is a testament to Elcamino's lyrical prowess and storytelling ability. With a runtime of just under 30 minutes, the album packs a powerful punch, tackling themes of urban decay and criminal degradation with unflinching honesty.
The album features standout tracks like "Venice Beach," which showcases a stellar collaboration with Benny the Butcher, and "Too Grimey for the Radio," where Meyhem Lauren joins Elcamino for a hard-hitting anthem. Other notable tracks include "Flu Game," "Redrum," and "Nine on My Lap," featuring Conway the Machine, each offering a unique perspective on the struggles and triumphs of life in the inner city.
Produced by The Artivist, the beats on "Don't Eat the Fruit" are as compelling as the lyrics, providing a perfect backdrop for Elcamino's vivid storytelling. The album's limited edition black vinyl release adds a collectible touch for fans of physical media.
