Arkutec’s drums knock to life, a pained stutter-step of a soul sample joins in, and the dreary, repentant vibe for “Church” is set. Gee Watts‘ Kansas City-bred, seen-too-much grit is in full effect, pushing the ills of the world to the surface with a tightly-sewn flow: “Tragic they wield, blast and get killed / fast as dragons in lambs’ clothing so imagine the real.” Recently, we premiered “199x (Sixteen Nineteen)” from Watts‘ upcoming tape 199x (1990 Never). “Church,” while still a solid, meaningful track that shows progression from Watts‘ recent (stellar) tape, Watts Up, isn’t quite on the level of “(Sixteen Nineteen),” but that’s to be expected: “Church” isn’t going to land on the upcoming tape. Instead, it’s kicking off a series of Wednesday Gee Watts releases entitled the #BibleStudy series. In short, even Watts‘ backup tracks are dope.
