Pinnakul - Obey Your Verse
Listen To Tracks From Obey Your Verse Vol. 1 HERE
If you aren’t familiar with the Boston music scene, you’re missing out on one of the most talented un-tapped groups in hip-hop. Let me introduce you to Pinnakul, a three member group from Dorchester, representing Feel Me Music. Smokez, Stix and T.R. are the street representatives for this group, and if you don’t know Pinnakul, they’re sure to remind you of who they are and what they’re about. With their release of Obey Your Verse Vol. 1, Pinnakul is hoping that this is what will catapult them onto the music scene nationwide. With the help of the talented Scotty B producing every track on the album, Obey Your Verse Vol. 1 is bound to be the next must-have street release.
"Solemnly Swear" kicks off the mixtape with Pinnakul proclaiming their undying allegiance to each other. Each member weaves their own personality, swagger, tribulations and allegiance on each verse effectively, bringing the listener into their own clique and showing how tight knit they truly are. Their un-dying allegiance to each other is reminiscent to The Three Musketeers as Smokez kicks it off proclaiming "[i] don’t hang with losers, I roll with winners," while T.R. follows up swearing that Pinnakul is "in this together, we prevail or we all fall." Stix then lets it be known that Pinnakul is "no longer local, our thoughts are global." This track sets the mood for the album, and it effectively gets the point across that Pinnakul is ready for success.
Song like "Beantown Boss" and "Hood Music" are highlights of the album, both delivering a lyrical onslaught of Boston imagery, and grimy street narrative. "Beantown Boss" is one of the best depictions of Boston one can hear. You can tell that Boston is held close to each members heart, speaking on issues such as the high murder rate to the way we greet each other with our signature three’s. On "Hood Music" Frankie Wainwright murders his verse with one of the most unique voices in the hip-hop game today, spitting, "My life is a mess, I got stress but I do my best to hide it/ This is war so my vest got a vest behind it/" Both songs show the unique style each member of the group brings to the table, and each shine respectively.
The diversity and versatility Pinnakul can bring on tracks is evident on songs such as "I Don’t Wanna Settle Anymore," "Would You Mind?," "L.O.V.E," and "Way Out." Each song brings out the best from each emcee, and the overall feel from each track is like a breath of fresh air in the hip-hop game. "I Don’t Wanna Settle Anymore" takes a spin off of Common’s classic "I Used to Love H.E.R." personifying Hip-Hop as a female they no longer have the same feelings for. While "Would You Mind" showcases Scotty B’s ability to make a classic sample from Earth, Wind and Fire seem like the perfect fit for three emcees to rhyme over. These tracks show the versatility Pinnakul can bring to the table and are obvious gems on Obey Your Verse.
Obey Your Verse effectively proves why Pinnakul deserves all of the attention they are getting from the hip-hop scene. They have collectively poured their blood, swear and tears into perfecting their craft, and representing their city and group. The unfamiliar must get their hands on this album, get acquainted, and get prepared. Pinnakul is ready to take the hip-hop scene by storm. And if you don’t know, now you know.
