UZ Retains Trap King Title With Magellan EP

It’s been a big month for UZ. The trap kingpin announced the launch of his new label Quality Goods Records, dropped a stellar mix and announced a new EP. Over the past few weeks he’s been slowly teasing fans, first dropping off the title track ‘Magellan’ and following it up earlier this week with ‘Xanny Man’. Today the full Magellan EP has arrived and it’s massive. It’s an entrancing, dark and sinister journey that balances UZ’s OG trap roots with the sound of the future. The project features collaborations with BeazyTymes, The Rej3cts, ATLiens and Big Makk; each of whom bring a unique flavor to the project. Whether it’s the high intensity synth rolls and vocal chops on ‘Ash it,’ the absurd party bars on ‘Xanny Man,’ the layers of filthy distortion on ‘Cavern’ or the mindbending saw sounds on ‘Spank,’ every track packs something special. With that said, the EP’s strongest standouts come when UZ stands alone. ‘Magellan’ is made for those fans who long for UZ to return to his iconic ‘Trap Shit’ series, while ‘Yallah’ proves why his evolution is a win for everyone. It just dropped today but I can say with confidence that ‘Yallah’ will go down as one of the hardest tracks of the year. Stream Magellan below and grab it on iTunes.
