MeRCY returns as Tony Montana wreaking havoc with meaning and narrator reliability, flitting from gangster-film intrigue to grimly prosaic reality. The Lost Keys is basically a continuation from Montana Lives Forever EP. As usual, the iLLustrious’ sonic auteur, Solidified, provides awesomely dark and eccentric backdrops for the Broward County MC’s dark maneuvers, mixing retro samples with horror-film keyboards. Features by BIG TWINS of Infamous Mobb, Bostxn, Rell Burgundy, B. Gordon, and Solidified himself, help supply a strong supporting cast. Thanks to MeRC’s imaginative lyricism and Solid’s production style, The Lost Keys delivers something cleverly predictable and vital-sounding while keeping Montana’s legacy alive.
