Elcamino, the Buffalo emcee who first gained prominence in 2017 with his self-titled EP under Griselda Records, returns with his 10th EP, "On the 3rd Day." This time, he teams up with German producer TrickyTrippz for a collaborative effort that marks the first part of a duology. The album, released on February 26, 2021, under T.C.F. Music Group, is a tight 22-minute journey through the realms of boom bap and underground hip hop.
"On the 3rd Day" features nine tracks, each offering a unique blend of Elcamino's lyrical prowess and TrickyTrippz's production skills. Standout tracks like "40 Belows," "Door Steps," and "Paying Taxes" showcase Elcamino's signature flow and clever wordplay, while the production provides a solid backdrop that highlights his delivery. The album's cover art, featuring the iconic Ral Duke, hints at the raw and unfiltered nature of the music within.
Following a prolific period that included the release of three EPs in 2020, Elcamino continues to solidify his place in the underground hip hop scene with "On the 3rd Day." The album has already garnered attention from playlisters, DJs, and fans alike, making it a notable addition to Elcamino's discography. Whether you're a long-time fan or a newcomer to his music, this EP offers a compelling listen that stays true to the essence of boom bap and underground hip hop.
