Bloodlin3’s “No mercy”: A testament of their talent.

"Starting from a chilly monologue and ending with a warm melody, this album has everything."

“Bloodlin3” is a talented bunch of three brothers coming from Paducah, KY. & El Paso showcasing their talent and unique composition. Their new album, “No Mercy,” is no exception to their talent as it sets out to amaze their audience.

The album starts with “No Mercy (Intro)” with “Buk of Psychodrama”. It’s a chilly, haunting monologue that is left to be followed by a cold beat drop of their title track, “No Mercy,” that amazes you as it starts. The synths make their way through, followed by a dazzling rap. Twista and Bloodlin3 blended their talent to create a masterpiece.

As we move on to “Test the waters,” the glitches and snippets of multiple tracks create a tingly anticipation. All of it transitions to a perfect harmony followed by Bloodline's classic rap style. The beats make everything surf smoothly through it.

Next, we move to “Cross the line.” The sweet voice of Jaelyn E symphonizing with bloodline turns to a sweet surprise. The perfect balance between Bloodlin3 and Jaelyn E’s voice is unmatched. They go back and forth in the main chorus, making an effortlessly catchy tune.

"Spot-on collabs, soulful beats to cold lyrics; the perfect contrast of everything."

In this next song, “Circus of Clowns,” Bloodlin3, King Co, and Awkwa Vision come together to make a cinematic masterpiece of a song. From the intro to the proud narcissism under-theme in the lyrics, everything complements each other. There are only a few collabs that truly capture the talent of each artist, but it happens almost casually in this track. They all make the song work in their own way. As we move towards “Take me away, Pt 2,” we’re welcomed again with the same unique intro as we’ve been seeing previously. The lyrics hold a darker theme, but that’s something bloodlin3 is not foreign to. They talk about prideful grief that turns into moments of self-reliance and self-confidence.

Next track, "Blessed Today," doesn’t come with an intro, but it does come off strong. The synths are emphasized here, giving it a perfect vibe as a late-night drive song. You can’t help but feel nostalgic as “Heartache” starts playing. The gentle tease of symphonies in between definitely becomes the highlight of the song. Next comes “Time bomb,” and it definitely lives up to its title as the song softly builds up to its bridge, where deep, low vocals mesmerize the audience. These types of vocals are present altogether in the album, but here it's something else.

The nostalgic vibes are still on as “Energy” starts playing. Again, a song that lives up to its title, “Energy,” definitely raised the energy of the album. It happens for a reason because as we move to “Say less”, the pace gets faster and more intense. Spice 1 and young college acted as a pinch of salt that brought out the best flavors of Bloodlin3.

Hypnotising will be an understatement to describe how the intro of “Hold on” feels. The magic of AK do or die can already be felt spreading out across the whole song. “Situations” with Buk of psychodrama has timeless beats paired with profound lyrics. As the audience was still not over, “Say less,” we’re surprised with a “Swishahouse remix” of it.

As we’re coming towards the end of the album, we’re taken to a more soulful beat with Jaelyn E on “Big James (Interlude).” The song has more vulnerable lyrics, unfolding a more intimate layer to the album. Still present with Jaelyn E and the vulnerable themes of the song, we’ve come towards the end of the album with “Streets of Gold.” There couldn’t have been a better way to end this beautiful, soulful album.
