Album Of The Day: Checkmate by MZ Genesiz

Mz Genesiz, a new player in the female rap game, dropped a dope album titled Checkmate, a house for 10 fiery joints. Mz Genesiz truly produces great music, and with her new LP, she redefines the often male-dominated industry.

On her outstanding and grief-stricken debut album, Mz Genesiz pays tribute to her past and to the future she wants to achieve. As she digs further into the fragmented memories of her experiences, she is ready to risk it all for her career and follow her dreams, as she raps on the track “Big Dreams.” Her verses describe how she left her job, and how she is not going back, as she is here to chase her destiny. 

The beats she uses on the album are all very balanced, and present her interest with heavier sounds blended  with synths, and filtered through lo-fi lens. The combination can be both mesmerizing and misleading – Mz Genesiz uses special effects to soften the pitch of her voice, so that the audience sinks into melodies and gets lost in her story. 

 Mz Genesiz delivered a great debut album, where confidence seeps through in her artistic growth. We are hungry for more!
