Codenine has been one of the most reliably excellent MCs operating out of Lynn, Massachusetts for well over a decade — a veteran of the Tragic Allies network, signed to 23 Incredible Industries, with a catalog that spans from the 2017 double-vinyl IX through last year's The Cost Of Gold with BoneWeso. His discography reads like a who's who of serious underground hip-hop: Estee Nack, Eto, Vic Spencer, Daniel Son, Lord Jah-Monte Ogbon, Bub Rock — all people who don't lend their names to projects that don't deserve them. "DOZIER" is the lead single from The First Supper, dropping tomorrow, a collaborative project with an unnamed partner tagged cryptically as @THEHIDDENCHARACTER_ — the project's reveal mechanic is part of its rollout energy. Pagez handles production, REVENXNT handles the visual. What the track confirms is that Codenine hasn't lost any of the precision that made his catalog worth tracking: the bars are dense, the delivery is measured, and nothing is wasted. Lynn doesn't always get its due in the broader Massachusetts underground conversation, but Codenine has been holding down that geography consistently, and The First Supper looks like another statement chapter.
