Pivot Gang • "Blood"
Loaded with an ammunition of unruly verses, hooks and refreshing flows, Saba, Joseph Chilliams, MFnMelo and FRSH Waters individually yet, collectively held their own on their latest track “Blood” produced by DaedaePIVOT and SqueakPIVOT. The Chicago bred crew isn’t hesitant to let us know that their brotherhood is deeper than the music, as Saba belts out words like “This PIVOT s—t realer than blood” and “my n—-as is really my blood”. Feeding into the slight knock and kick of the instrumental, the energy that Saba exudes on the hook set the tone for Joseph Chilliam’s unearthly verse. Equipped with untamed bars Joseph bluntly spits “D—k clean like I’m Jesus” and “Move the whites like Pocahontas, Harry Potter in that invisible cloak, Y’all don’t even know where to find us”.
Connecting with the momentum that Saba and Joseph provides on “Blood”, both MFnMelo and FRSH Waters delivers rawness, intensity and witticism in their verses. Uttering words like “Fighting on my way up just like Solange” and “Jumpin’ out from on the page, throwin’ these bows like Streets of Rage”, not only does Melo and FRSH’s rebellious vigor align with the ambience of “Blood”, it represents the persona of PIVOT Gang. Reminiscent of the golden era of hip hop, PIVOT Gang continues to put on for the city, the culture and the legacy of their brother John Walt.
