Bigz did it again with some more music to feed our souls, this time its STARMAN the EP.. I first got a hold of this via a Tweet from @bigzflygerian himself, I’ve been waiting about 5 months for it since the release of Flight of the Navigator his unique killer flow with ability to make songs that last completely captured my attention. I will take a different approach and go by this track by track at least try to explain the music. But before I start I want you to know this is not your usual mindless commercial junk you hear on the radio, So if you’re looking for your usual bubble gum beats with ghostwritten flows then this may not be for you. But if your on some Grown Folks/Grown Man Shit then it’s time you take a journey on the Starship Enterprise and feel the power that is STARMAN.
1- Starman- The opneing track very theatrical and paints a picture of what is to come in the rest of the EP. Sick drums with hints of a “Phantom of the Opera” sample in the backround(I am not sure if this is so but will confirm, however very powerful)
2-I Just want the paper- Now this is a HOOD Banger if I ever heard one, this song will make you get on your feet with the heavy drums and the impecable flow that Bigz brings to the table, and to top it off I could’nt agree with the man more. Dont we all just want the paper? and for those of you on your grown man shit listen for the Million Dollar Man Sample. I grew up watching wrestling and this totally bought me back, This is one of the things I love most about Bigz music he keeps you on your toes thinking, and does not hesitate to take you on a trip down memory lane.
3-OMO NAIJA(The Anthem)- OMO Naija translates to I’m Nigerian! and this song is phenomenal, with the synths, keys, drums etc just a powerful movement. Now I’m not Nigerian I’m Dominican, but for 4 minutes and 10 Seconds of this songs I’m the FLyest Nigerian you’ll ever meet. The fact that through music this guy can reach across the Atlantic and start such a powerful movement is epic to say the least.
4-Loose Control- Definately on some Grown Man shit of course, If you have not heard Flight of the Navigator, you probably don’t know I mean I suggest you download that as well.
5-Place in the sky- With features from Tzar and Selah we have a song that will stay in your head for day’s at a time. The Hook reminds me of a classic R&B song by Monica “Angel of mine” and definitely brings back good memories with crazy flows from all artist.
6-Sleeping Satellites(featuring Sway)- now this song is definitely going to ring some bells in the weeks to come, now when you get to of UK’s top artist Sway and Bigz together on a track you are destined for greatness #nobruno of course. I’m 7 songs into this EP and i feel the fire that is the Flygerian movement. A powerful Track
7-Motion picture This one is one of my favorite tracks on the EP with words that inspire and beats that keep you moving. Again with a sample that leaves an impression on you, whoever did the production for this EP is definitely a problem. The industry will soon know.
8-Rhythm of my life. Definitely on some grown man shit for this one. Bigz has the ability to take a sample that you would never expect someone to rap over and take you on a journey with his clever wordplay and sick punch lines that have you gasping for air.
9-Starship Enterprise/I Look Like Money- Both these songs I’ve heard on Flight of the Navigator which you must download http://www.datpiff.com/bigz_Flight_Of_The_Navigator.m81962.html both amazing I just felt I would cover all the one ones to me in this review.
