THEHIDDENCHARACTER and BoneWeso recorded more music than one “THEHIDDENSPLASH” could hold. “THEHIDDENSPLASH 2” brings together songs from that original batch, with one later addition: “GREENBERET,” featuring FTB BOOGZ. Speaking to The Serpent Tongue, the Lynn rapper said he had left the earlier material intact and recorded that track only a month or two before the interview. That continuity reaches beyond the sessions. In a joint interview with Throw Up Magazine, THEHIDDENCHARACTER, also known as ???, explained that he and BoneWeso share relatives and had known each other for most of his life. BoneWeso introduced him to Estee Nack, who later suggested they make “THEHIDDENSPLASH” together. They recorded at the Mini Mansion and other studios in Lynn, choosing beats from BoneWeso’s folders, with the rapper writing and recording as he selected tracks. The surplus that became this sequel grew out of that process. BoneWeso’s route into those sessions had included production for Don Omar and Wisin & Yandel. He told Throw Up that Nack introduced him to Roc Marciano and encouraged his move toward the underground rap work he began releasing in 2024, starting with “SYSTEMATICALLY WE WERE NEVER FREE.” On the sequel, CODENINE appears on “KINFOLKS,” continuing a relationship THEHIDDENCHARACTER describes as brotherhood and a regular exchange of guest verses. The opening “I.S.L.A.M” offers another point of continuity. THEHIDDENCHARACTER has identified Five Percent teachings as a foundation of his writing; in the sequel interview, he explained the acronym as “I Study Life Around Me.”
