First making his start as a solo artist in 2014 after he took a new path from his duo project 16 Bit, Moody Good has been blazing a path of low-key audio destruction, never fully achieving or even pursuing the main stage headliner aesthetic. His first major release under his newfound moniker was his Moody Good LP, which was released to immensely enthusiastic applause from virtually every angle in the industry, displaying a truly unique sound design and overall presence. By far the most successful track on the LP was ‘Hotplate‘, a titanic blend of sensational rap verses courtesy of Knytro and bone-crushing dubstep that still gets rinsed in sets to this day by some of the biggest movers and shakers in the game. After his 2015 EP release of This Is the Investigation, which also garnered him major attention, he seemed to fall off the face of the Earth, choosing to focus on being a legendary parent versus being a legendary artist. 4 years later, his triumphant return came in March of 2019 in the form of the Goofball EP, and he’s been on a relentless hot streak ever since. Now, 6 years after the release of the original, he’s blessed the world with a revival of ‘Hotplate,’ in the form of its absolutely vicious VIP.
From the opening notes of the ‘Hotplate VIP,’ you’ll be instantly thrown into a state of complete nostalgia, reliving all the moments of pure bliss the original gave you over the years. The electricity that courses through your body will make the hair on your arms stand firmly at attention, your anticipation fiercely growing as you near the first drop, your mind wondering what this madman could have possibly cooked-up to compete with the veracity of the original. Fear not, as all preformed expectations will be immediately shattered, as the growth in his sound design and overall production oozes freshly out of your speakers. To call this piece “heavy” is a ludicrous understatement, as it bodies a vast majority of dubstep tracks currently out on the market. The original swag is fully present and expanded upon to the nth degree, and will surely be fueling egos for a full 4 minutes and 6 seconds for years to come. The opening vocals of “If life is like a box of chocolates, damn I’ve sure got my pick,” couldn’t be any closer to the truth, as this man is wholeheartedly back with a vengeance, and fans will be left situated on the very edges of their seats for what he’ll be dropping next. Check out the ‘Hotplate VIP’ in all its glory below!
