2. Blah blah blah
If you listen to really garbage rappers such as "三島a.k.a.潮フェッショナル情報" don't you think to yourself: "Blah blah blah?" This is practically the image this Track represents.
The chorus is pretty simple, it just goes "BLAHRMY! -What? BLAHRMY! -What? BLAHRMY!" Basically implying that BLAHRMY talks real shit and everyone else just talks loud and saying nothing.
Sheef and Miles both flow great, the Beat is fitting. Straight underground gangsta rap stuff here.
Or as they say at the end of the song: BLAHRMY motherfucker!

3. Jack-N-Mary
Straight up my most favorite BLAHRMY Track ever. Everything was done right in this track. You have a traditional soundish flute playing in the background, whipping beats, deep basses, awesome scratching, a short Noh Music sample that kicks in every now and then a relatively simple but still really catchy chorus and just on-spot mic work from Sheef and Miles.
If you are into real gangsta rap. This one's for you.
Favorite line that sums it up: "We get high too much, fuck the bullshit."

Rating ★★★★★ 5/5
If I say "Gangsta Rap" what do you think about? Well Track wise you think of two bad-asses shutting it down on the mic. You think of just drums and a overall dark presentation that draws an image from Japan's suburbs and concrete jungle into your mind.
Lyric-wise you think about Street struggle, trash talking and crticism on the system.
You get all of this wrapped up in 03 Minutes and 03 Seconds.
If you would've still have doubts if BLAHRMY is legit, this is the track that blows those doubts away.

5. Duck's Moss Village skit (Skit)
-.
Runtime 1:46
"BLAHRMY are walking. BLAHRMY are smoking BLAHRMY -What? BLAHRMY -What?"
This is how the Song begins. The whole "Fujisawa Zombie thing is something that BLAHRMY picks up on future albums, I believe it was their first full Album "Report of the bird strike" where they released "Fujisawa Zombie part 2."
While the Song is in no way inferior to the Tracks before, but I personally don't like the track as much as the songs before. It might be because of the guitar sample in the back. Sounds nitpicking, but I think it doesn't really fit the theme of the Song.
Runtime 4:55
Rating ★★★☆☆ 3/5
As you might expect, all Beats on this Track are downright Ghetto-ish, which is reasonable, because we are talking about Gangsta Rap here. But BLAHRMY gives us a variety of Beats without going with some generic pop crap. And this Beat is comparable to the Beat of the Track before. It's not as dark and deep as the Beats in the first half of the EP it's more "light" with an even more emphasis on the lyrics.

8. Hellow
I want to set this straight: BLAHRMY are on-spot on every track. But on this one they really shut it down on the mic. Incredibly crisp mic work by Sheef and Miles, another pretty "light" Beat combined with heavy drum hits, some double-timing by Sheef and Miles, a great flow and a message "Heaven or hell, what is your's?" and you got yourselves a typical epic BLARHMY track.

Artwork ★★★★★ 5/5
The artwork is brilliant. There are people who say that you can't judge a book by it's cover and then there are people who say that you sure can. The last thing applies to the artwork from KILLah BEEN's masterpiece "公開" and yes, i am not getting tired to mention it, because "公開" is the best album that has ever been made. Plus, "公開" is in the same genre as "DUCK'S MOSS VILLAGE" that being Underground Gangsta Rap.
Anyways, as i said: You can judge "公開" by the artwork as you can "DUCK'S MOSS VILLAGE." A bad-ass cover that gives you the impression of... well... underground gangsta rap and this is exactly what you get.

Flow ★★★★★ 5/5
This is the first release of "BLAHRMY." To my knowledge both of them were part of "DINARY DELTA FORCE." At least that would explain why you hear, for instance, "RHYME BOYA" in the back of some tracks and that would also explain why they agreed to do a collab track on RHYME BOYA's Album "Mind Vook."
But overall this was their first release as the group "BLAHRMY" and they did a great job on the mic. Every track they are spot-on, lyric-heavy and they not only come off as legit and bad-asses, no, they actually ARE legit and bad-asses. So flow- and lyricwise they are as crisp and legit as it gets.

Beats ★★★★☆ 4/5
To be honest, i enjoy the first half of the ep (Blah, blah, blah / Jack-N-Mary / Hard dayz) a lot more than i enjoy the second half, mostly because the beats in the first half are really deep they have heavy drums and just overall a more ghetto-ish feel to it, whereas the second half is more "light" as i mentioned previously. To be honest, the only track i can come back to anytime on the second half is only ""Hellow" and maybe "Supaduck." I'm not saying that the Beats aren't good but it's just a personal taste, i'm not into them.
Choruses ★★★★☆ 4/5
Choruses ★★★★☆ 4/5
The choruses are simple and i'm gonna refer to KILLah BEEN once more: The emphasis in KILLah BEEN's Tracks lies on the verses, on the lyrics on the message he delivers, which is a common thing in Gangsta Rap you wanna hear real talk and cool stories from legit bad asses. Therefore, the choruses are not really catchy or memorable for the most part, but overall BLAHRMY does a better job at creating catchy choruses than KILLah BEEN does. "Hard dayz" and"Jack-N-Mary" for example have rather simple choruses, but they are catchy and get into year relatively easy.
Features ☆☆☆☆☆ -/5

Overall Rating ★★★★★ 5/5
I think everything that has to be said has been said. Sheef and Miles first release as the group "BLAHRMY" is as underground and OG as it gets. Great mic work, def beats and just two bad asses sharing their stories and enhanceing their street credibilities.
Not only a must have for Fans of Gangsta Rap, but a must have for every HipHop and Rap fan in general.
