Street Psalms is an instrumental hip hop album that Preach Tha God considers to be one of his best pieces of work as he has devoted much of his time to producing this album himself without any outside help from other producers. This album leans more towards an urban sound than your typical trip hop album.
Anti-Social is a modern day hip hop track with a contemporary sound that includes drill beats and cymbals over a melodic piano and infectious low bass. The electric synths are infectious as well. The song does seem to use a filter as white noise is filtered out completely. All other background noise, besides the melodic piano, has been blocked out.
Follow Me uses much heavier bass than Anti-Social does. The song is accompanied by a woodblock and a low pass filter. You can hear a crunchy synth in the background if you listen to the song closely.
The synths and piano on Forget You are absolutely melodic and angelic. The sample fits in perfectly with the mood and sound.
So Fine uses a multitude of sound effects and foley effects. The finger snapping, clapping, glass pinging, chimes whistle in a breeze are what make the song infectious and invigorating. You get the occasional vocal sample in various parts of the song which says, “so fine” and “My baby/So fine/Alright”. The vocal sample fits in perfectly with the breezy angelic piano due to mood and sound.
Straight Thru sounds very much similar to an electronic soundscape from the video game Pong due to those blips, plurks, and delayed synths you hear coming from a keyboard. The electric synths you hear on this song sound very much similar to an acoustic guitar. Straight Thru uses a woodblock in a similar manner as Follow Me does. Electronic music meets modern hip hop on Straight Thru.
I rate this album 5/5*****!
