Up-and-coming Brooklyn, New York underground rap duo Phiik and Lungs have dropped three new singles so far in 2024: “Gazpacho,” “Uber Dents,” and “From The Dirt.” Ever since 2020’s “The Standard,” the duo has been dropping tracks on Spotify. POW Recordings will release their new album, Carrot Season, on September 10; the album will feature all three of the 2024 singles. In Carrot Season, the duo will build on their lyrical abstract hip-hop momentum from 2023’s Another Planet 4. This article approaches what to expect from their new album based on what little is known.
Phiik and Lungs Announce New Album: Carrot Season
Phiik and Lungs have been busy this year. Fresh off the Nobody Planning To Leave tour in June with fellow abstract duo Shrapknel, they’ve been releasing plenty of sneak peeks of their new tracks on social media. The duo puts their music first and their appeal has a natural audience. Their flows are impressive, with straightforward limerick-like beautiful nursery rhymes that satisfy both an itch for critical thinking and blues-like songs. The duo is also good friends with Akai Solo, one of the best east-coast poet-rappers out right now.
On September 10, the duo will release their new album Carrot Season. POW Recordings announced on X that Olagsen will produce the entirety of the new album. On the songs released so far, Olagsen crafts a perfect beat for the swagger team, mixing heavenly shining electric pianos with classic crisp and fuzzy Brooklyn boom-bap drums.
Carrot Season: Lyrical Flows Over Heavenly Beats
The duo released the first track for the album, titled “Gazpacho,” on YouTube on March 1. The track features the duo punching bars over a dark dungeon-rap beat filled with mid-heavy electronics and a smooth and secure sine bass wave. Lungs opens the track slinging punches to the gut, “Armed guard re-reciting the protection motto / Perfection, the model / Your raps suck *** you shouldn’t have rented the Apollo.” Phiik opens his bar with blues-like rhymes: “Centerfold crack, abdomen smash, radical cash / Running down mountains / I’m dodging fountains from devil’s eyelash.”
Released on August 29, “From The Dirt” features solid performances from Phiik, Lungs, and Akai Solo. Phiik raps, “Guess what the cat dragged / Your shorty sat down and bragged about 90 thousand red flags.” Akai Solo features on the track, opening with heat: “This is why they baffled and why y’all lose battles / Hurricanes abandon in my wake / The farthest from a hassle / I pump fake natural disasters mid laughter / The whole reason they looking forward to the after.” Lungs finishes the track on a clean beat switch, “You selling mixtapes to anti-PC Italians / I’m on a PC trying to up my checking account balance / I’m buying plugins so my **** sound better / You spent cash on an outfit.”
The duo provides top-tier complications and poetry to create a master class in hip-hop. They respect the legends before them, sounding much like Tupac and Black Star while maintaining their own innovation and excellence. Staying on their trajectory and collaborating with big names in underground hip-hop like Akai Solo and Shrapknel, they should be at the top of the pyramid in no time. They deserve all the success with their overt confidence, skill, and hard work.
Conclusion
You can listen to Carrot Season on all major streaming platforms. The insightful duo are newcomers to POW Recordings, a label famous for other underground legends like Chester Watson and Fatboi Sheriff. The group is on track to set new standards in the rap game. They not only speak for New York but for the entire human race. Their music is a guardian of what’s pure and sophisticated.
