OGUN (GOD OF IRON) "HEXAGRAM TEN CHAMBER OF WINGZ" [ALBUM]

 

Ogun describes himself as owner, artist, producer and DJ of Wargun Militia and a Wu-affiliate, and he has somewhere near a hundred releases behind him which means Hexagram Ten Chamber of Wingz isn't a debut or a comeback. It's an instalment. According to the release notes it's the first volume of a series and the prequel to a forthcoming United Kingdom Yellow Jacketz LP, and it's dedicated to DUSK, described as the newest member and General of the Yellow Jacketz. DUSK also produced the whole thing. The mythos, taken seriously That combination an in-world dedication to the person behind the boards tells you how to listen. This is the Philadelphia rap equivalent of a kung-fu serial: Killa Wasp Familia, Yellow Jacketz, Shaolin, hornets and stingers, revenge cycles. Titles carry parentheses like chapter headings "SHAOLIN VS WASP (CHALLENGE OF THE BALANCED)," "REVENGE FOR MY FATHER (THE SMILING KNIFE)," "THE GIANT KILLER HORNET (HEXAGRAM TEN)." There's even a track called "THE WASP MESSIAH (MEDIA MONOPOLY)," which suggests the whole insect theology has a point beyond world-building. It would be easy for this to collapse into noise, and Ogun's output rate makes that a live risk. What keeps it standing is that the framework is load-bearing rather than decorative the titles promise a plot and the sequencing delivers one, moving from the chamber through challenge, revenge and the hornet to the wasp messiah. The record itself Ten tracks, thirty-three minutes, produced entirely by DUSK, with DJ Razor Blade Sharp and DUSK featured. Two tracks push past four minutes "THE GIANT KILLER HORNET" and "THE WASP MESSIAH" and they're placed at eight and ten, so the album gets heavier as it closes rather than front-loading. There's a UK record in the middle ("PEACE UNITED KINGDOM (UK IN THE HOUSE)"), which is either a wink at the next instalment or a straightforward transatlantic nod; with the series heading toward a United Kingdom Yellow Jacketz LP, probably both. No mix credits are listed, no artwork credit, no city on the sleeve. For anyone who has been following the Wargun Militia catalogues Swarmers, the Ramen Noodlez tapes, Yellow Jacketz Chamber this is the chapter that explains the rest.
