This is Michael Mixerr. Tonight I will review 2 Sinz - Devilz Night: Let The City Burn.
This was the most controversial 2 Sinz single to date that sparked a sizable outrage with Detroit politicians and city officials. City officials condemned the single for its subject matter and material. It was mainly the track Devilz Night: Let The City Burn that got attention from politicians and city officials to condemn the single. It got to the point where city officials attempted to ban its release, but couldn’t due to the First Amendment in the United States Constitution.
At the time of single release, the then Detroit city mayor Coleman Young had a chance to listen to snippets of the cassette single and he called the Devilz Night single the most violent record he has ever heard. 2 Sinz responded back to him by saying, "If you grew up in hell, how else could you be?”. This is exactly how 2 Sinz responded to the news media.
Explicit gangsta rap from the streets meets gruesome horrorcore rap on this 2 Sinz single. The sounds are nothing short or sweet. The single is violent in nature of course. Death rap and horrorcore both meet each other as well. The group represents the horrorcore rap scene for Detroit, Michigan also Esham among others.
Although longtime fans refer to this recording as an EP, 2 Sins officially states that Devilz Night: Let The City Burn is clearly a single. It is due to the number of tracks and longevity of its recording duration that fans among others refer to 2 Sinz - Devilz Night: Let The City Burn as an EP.
On the track Devilz Night: (Let The City Burn) is where 2 Sinz idolizes and glories the Detroit tradition of Devils Night. 2 Sinz rap group idolizes and glorifies the crimes of arson, destruction of property, criminal trespass, and vandalism throughout the entirety of the track. The track features 2010s rap star Trick-Trick who also hails from Detroit.
2 Sinz idolizes and glories the Detroit tradition of Devils Night where on every October 30th right before Halloween when group of people set abandoned buildings on fire. Devils Night is a Detroit pastime tradition. Devils Night came and had stemmed from the 1967 riots. The people of Detroit did this because the government still treats us like slaves.
At the very beginning, 2 Sinz plans to let the city burn. They grab the fuckin' gasoline and let the city burn! Lighters are in their hands and they are down to do whatever. Halloween eve is the day people get together. A bunch of crazy fools. Take a look around. They could care less about curfew. Torture the weak so they all know the deal by causing pain towards others.
Later in the track is when 2 Sinz plans to set fire to the church. Everybody in that bitch is gonna burnt too. Happy Halloween as you stare at the sight They gonna show these muthafuckas how to do it right. Lethal is the name that you hear when nothin' goes right. Burn it with kerosene. Can you hear the screams?
I Wish I Was Dead is a “Taste Of Death”. The track deals with depression hence the sad mood and vibe for its setting that takes place. Unsurprisingly the track is death themed. I Wish I Was Dead is both a death rap and horrorcore rap track simultaneously at the same time.
Here is an example of a verse dealing with depression and death.:
death is promised to me
life I can’t go thru wit it
so let me drown in my own body fluid
when I tried to talk didn't nobody try to listen
so don't be surprised when my ass come up missing
Sins 4 Life is the 2 Sinz anthem for the single. Sins 4 Life appears on 2 Sinz - Represent Your City single as Our Anthem (Sins4Life). 2 Sinz also had went under the names 2 Sins and Two Sins throughout the 1990s and 2000s. Back when Mack Ten was a part of 2 Sins. Even the 2010s.
The vocals on this version seem to have a weird reverberated touch to them as opposed to other versions of Devilz Night. Low Life messed around with the reverb setting while he was producing the Sins 4 Life anthem back in 1994. Sins 4 Life was recorded in 1994 around the same time the 2 Sinz - Represent Your City single was released.
A Piece Of My Mind was recorded in 1994. For those who did not know, A Piece Of My Mind was the successor to Night Creeper. Night Creeper was the demo version of A Piece Of My Mind. This version is a lot shorter with alternate lyrics. A Piece Of My Mind came from an angry persons perspective.
2 Sinz experiments with the occult on Dark Lords/Ouija Boards. Occult culture meets horrorcore rap and gangsta rap on Dark Lords/Ouija Boards. Mental Pressure is when relationships go wrong. That happens too often. Mental Pressure samples Compton's Most Wanted - Hoodrat.
The group 2 Sinz was inspired by Freddy Krueger horror movies when they wrote Comin’ To Get Ya. The elements of horrorcore rap are prevalent to this track. 2 Sinz portays a message that the worlds gonna end. It’s just a matter of time.
I rate this single, Devilz Night: Let The City Burn, 5/5*****!!
