The phonk god himself Roland Jones has released yet another banging album, titled ‘Loced Out’. Jones has the phonk, Memphis rap and trap sound on deck, as each track he delivers booming, hard-hitting gems with each song. If you’re looking for more of the deep bass-boosted songs that rattles your trunk then listen to tracks, ‘DOPE SLANGA’, ‘OVERLOADIN’, ‘OVA THIS’ and ‘GRINDIN’. You also can’t forget the eclectic sources Jones samples from. Not only does he sample from hip hop group three six mafia, UGK and other rappers from Memphis & Texas, he also samples from scary movies and uses sounds such as the screams. He uses the music and audio leading up to a suspenseful scene in movies, as well as tons more of scenes and conversations, to flush out the atmosphere. Jones will then mix these sounds with a banger phonk and trap beat to perfect the phonk sound. If you’ve never listened to Roland Jones I suggest you listen to all of his songs on Spotify, Bandcamp or YouTube. You won’t be disappointed!
