Review
"Autodomínio" by pumapjl and SonoTWS is an entrancing foray into underground rap, launched into the world in 2023. Despite its brief 11-minute duration spread across seven tracks, this album is a masterclass in marrying jazz rap nuances with potent lyrical delivery. The vibrant production by SonoTWS sets a lush auditory canvas for pumapjl's passionate and animated performances, making each track a rich experience.
Kicking off with "Solta Minha Blusa," the album immediately hooks listeners with infectious beats and pumapjl's electrifying flow. Tracks like "Reduto de Malandro" and "Zona Sul" further showcase their talent, featuring catchy hooks and intricate rhymes that stick with you. Thematically, the album shines with "O Que É Meu Ninguém Me Tira" and "Fugir Daqui (Mensagem)," both exploring themes of personal empowerment and the quest for self-expression. The closing tracks, "Cega Eles Vovó" and "Transição (Mensagem)," take a more introspective turn, delving into self-reflection and growth. "Autodomínio" is a compelling listen, its brief runtime packed with striking depth and complexity, marking it as a standout in the underground rap scene. - Beckett
