shortfuzeraps I love the way Wish was flipped. Alex put his own spin on it and paid homage to the original song perfectly while showing his own humor. Favorite track: Wish.

about

During a prolific run throughout 2019, Alex Ludovico released a single song almost every single Monday, dubbed "Medicine Mondays."

Recently, Zilla Rocca curated some of the best of those songs into a new album Cocaine & Therapy. This release also marks the first official partnership between Insubordinate Records and Three Dollar Pistol Music.

A concept album that follows Alex through a specific phase in his life, it begins as the ultimate rapper rapping his ass off for you ("Consort", "Read the Paper"). Then it delves in his real rockstar lifestyle ("Sick Yo Duck", "Don't Wanna Be Alone", "Up All Night"). It culminates with the inevitable emptiness you discover when all the hookups, late nights, and conquests never actually fix what's wrong deep inside ("Then You Stopped", "Therapy Working"). It ends with a trip to therapy and receiving the best blessing of all - focusing your efforts on other people ("Be Kind Rewind", "Gone Head Girl").

Cocaine and Therapy is the rare completely solo rap album that is engrossing, entertaining, personal, and jam packed with beats you can blast in the whip. It's a fitting album for an artist that has always been ahead of the curve and has never shied away from telling you the highs and lows of his experiences. If you've ever enjoyed cocaine and/or therapy, you'll absolutely love this album and the breakthroughs Alex shares within.

Everyone came with it on this album. Jason Griff laced everyone perfectly suited to their style. I enjoyed all the songs on high level, but I need more Defcee and Moecyrus combos. Fire. shortfuzeraps

You'll often see Zilla bracketed alongside Quelle Chris and billy woods under the alternative rap/hip hop banner. I'm not so sure, but he is a bit different. Lots of cultural references from different eras, "Revolution #36" being, as it's title might suggest, loaded with Beatles references. The record is full of excellent melodies, and I even get a bit of a 70s musical vibe from "Doobie Brothers feat Alaska". Grab this EP guys, you won't regret it. Gavin Hellyer
