Isis Aset and Hinez – ‘Eye of Isis’

Isis Aset and Hinez‘s Eye of Isis is a compilation of records that brings true hip-hop lovers back to the golden era of rhymes. Seeping into your cerebral for twelve minutes and thirty-five seconds, Isis Aset drops metaphorically stricken bars that challenge the masses to believe in who they are. 

Moreover, the rapstress puts her opps and peers in their rightful place. Songs like “Rare Aset” and “Black Rose” serve as a lyrical send-off to their music careers. 

“Rare Aset” also highlights her upbringing and how hip-hop served a huge role in her ascension. 

“I’m from the streets/And had a little taste, but I chose the mic/My daddy had the same option/Had to see a frozen life.” 

Aside from showcasing her rhyming dexterity and verbal ammunition, Isis Aset counts her blessings. Even when life kicks her down, she stands tall. Pursuing her goals with perseverance, the femcee practices what she preaches. In “Personification,” this attribute is seen as clear as day.

She spits, “Striving to be the best I can be with the rest of my team/You count me out then you don’t overstand numerology.” 

Another song that shadows her mission in music is “Laluby of Death,” which finds Isis and her feature, Hugh Stone, vowing to rap with a purpose. Instead of rapping about unimportant matters like vices, women, and cars, the duo uses their talents to inform others about the world.  

Isis even spits a gem that goes, “Know the ends of who you are/Chosen by genetic charm.” 

Hinez, the producer of Eye of Isis, takes a moment to flex his lyrical prowess in “Broken Algorithm.” The beats he’s constructed in the aforementioned LP derive from gritty hip-hop, boom-bap, jazz, and soul. 

Closing out the project on a sweet note is “Isis Monologue.” The song comforts those whose ego has been bruised by negative comments. In short, tune into this record if you’re having difficulty shaking a person’s offensive remarks.
