Forget the fact that “The Barrell Bros.” sounds like the title of an 8-bit NES game or maybe a Providence-based gross-out comedy made by the Farrelly’s, because the latest single leaked from The Big Dough Rehab is great. Why they released the underwhelming “Celebrate” first is beyond me. “The Barrell Bros” is just a snarling beast, reading like Madlib’s “Block Rock” filtered through a Vincent Price score; full of eerie synths squealing like poltergeists, hard ominous drums and Ghost, Styles and Beanie spitting with the frantic hunger of escaped convicts. No hyperbole today. Just smoke a blunt and play this loud in your car. (Grape-flavored and Jeeps are highly recommended, respectively).

Co-sign…
Here we go again. $5 says that you call this a classic the day after it leaks.

I don’t know what’s more alarming–that fact that Ghost will have released 3 albums in under 20 months or that he titled his latest album after a Cappadonna lyric from “Careful Click Click.”
Whoever lit a fire under Beanie’s ass…kudos. That man is destroying every verse I hear from him.
I don’t enjoy the LOX that much, but everytime they get on a track with Ghost (“Run,” “Metal Lungies,” “Blue Armor” and now this jawn) they all bring their A-Game.

Up in the boss game wildin, money for grabs
I ain’t fuckin with crabs, out of state copped two labs
Hopped two cabs, back on the Ave.
Stab you with the vocab, catch me at the big dough rehab
Tryin to re-up, keep my feet up
Snake niggaz in the cut, hold the product
Time is up, no luck, heat start to bust
Niggaz you can’t trust, dealin with lust
Seen him at the ballgames with James
good call, zilla

Is it just me or does anyone else get some weird wordpress login thing whenever they try to listen to Barrell Brothers?

Sorry about that, the problem with downloading should be fixed now.
And c’mon Deen, you know I’d wait at least two days. Maybe even three.
