"With the LP House Of Cards released on Myers Street Music, El Gant & maticulous present the next level of their creativity while, for the most part, staying true to their style. New York MC El Gant brings his seasoned storytelling & dense rhyme flow, while producer maticulous structures the arrangements with dark, sample‑driven beats & a clear boom‑bap aesthetic; the interplay of dry drums and deep bass shapes the fundamental character of the production. Musically, the duo moves between classic street hip‑hop & contemporary production, with forward‑driving loop motifs & sparsely placed melodic lines creating tension. Guest appearances such as Brother Ali’s on the lead single Wordle demonstrate their openness to collaborative accents & broaden the thematic range without diluting the cohesive overall mood. Lyrics and beats stand on equal footing: El Gant uses precise punchlines & narrative passages, while maticulous creates dense soundscapes that leave space for vocal accents. This release brings together the characteristic strengths of both artists & delivers a well‑rounded picture of their joint work that remains unmistakable both in its production and in its thematic focus." - HHV
