Album Review // Thot Saviors // I'll Take a Shit Right Here

October 8, 2024 at 12:00 PM
Self-released

5/5 stars

What started out as a cheeky collaborative concept for a project in 2022 has turned into a full-blown experiment that keeps churning out original sounds in a genre all their own. Local solo artists Sean Harris, Bryan Gildone, Elias Kerr, Avery Mooney, with Rick Bowser released their third full-length Thot Saviors project in July. More aggressive, fundamentally punk, and much more intense then their self-titled debut, the Thot Saviors can always be relied on to deliver the goods. The music takes you on a trip through a wide range of emotions that pump you up, make you laugh, cringe, and run it back, asking yourself "What did he just say!?"

With an uncanny ability to ad lib and freestyle, the artists have created a project that is much more improvisational as a whole, and at times the listener feels as though they are right there in the studio. Fan favorites include "Zippity Doo Dah," "Shawldy," and "Charcoal Dogs," which features DJ Lucas, an up-and-coming Massachusetts artist with a significant following. Enrgy Beats, a Flint, Michigan producer who has built a sound with major artists Rio Da Young OG and YN Jay, takes the reins on "Watchlist Music" and live track "Alligator Funk," featuring Subjxct 5. I'll Take a Shit Right Here is much more feeling, off book, and less chiseled. The talent and chemistry is undeniable.
