  • Description

    Griselda's Rick Hyde returns with Plates 2, featuring Benny The Butcher, Conway the Machine, and Westside Gunn. With Griselda rhymer Benny The Butcher having what seems like an endless run of wins, his BSF Records imprint appears to be getting more attention by the day. Rick Hyde is one of the top benefactors. His new project Plates II, a sequel to his independent mixtape Plates, positions Hyde as one to watch in Griselda-wave 2.0. The record boasts production from the likes of Daringer, Sha Money XL, Harry Fraud and the late DJ Shay – who the album commemorates by its release date falling on the anniversary of his death.

    Hyde further exploits his connections with verses from Benny, Heem, Skyzoo and Westside Gunn, all helping to curate a solid body of work. The project's shiniest gems include some of the singles that have already hit the net. "Hustler's Prayer" features Hyde and Heem interlocked in a battle to see who can drop the most street flexes, complemented by The SoulMonsters' grainy production.

    One thing that comes across crystal clear is Hyde's lyricism. Look no further than the "Sarah Freestyle," where the subdued DJ Chopz and Skrilla loop provides an atmospheric backdrop to a relentless, two-minute onslaught.
