Elcamino Drops His 2nd EP in the Last Month “Millionaire” (EP Review)

by -

Buffalo emcee & singer Elcamino staying busy with his 3rd EP of 2024 & the 17th of his discography overall. Blowing up in 2017 off his self-titled EP with Griselda Records, his profile increasingly grew after being followed up by Walking on Water mixtape in the summer of 2018 along with dropped 2 studio albums & a few EPs the year after that. They Spit on Jesus proved to be a well received Black Soprano Family Records debut becoming the first Camino project that I had covered since On the 3rd Day & that much like No Weapon Formed Against Me was an improvement over some of the material we’ve gotten from him in recent memory. 6 months after having Real Bad Man produce The Game is the Game followed by Ill Tone recently producing Built for Cuban Links named after Raekwon’s iconic solo debut Only Built 4 Cuban Linx…produced by RZA, Meech looking to start the final quarter of the year flexing his Millionaire status.

“Money Mayweather” sets the tone of what’s to come with it’s luxurious boom bap instrumental & the lyrics tryna cause a head-on rainstorm whereas “Chill Lord” kinda gives off a psychedelically dusty vibe feeling more like an actual song rather than an interlude talking about your whole entire style being animated. “Paid in Full” works in some vibraphone sampling mixed with kicks & snares admitting at least 10 people in the Griselda camp have become rich prior to “Gambino Family” hopping over a classy beat looking to do big business.

Starting the final leg of the EP, “The Gold Elephant” returns to the boom bap with more of a soulful flare letting y’all know that this rap shit can do you right since he ended up eating after several years of negligence while the beat on “Maybach Muzik” most definitely feels inspired by Rick Ross allowing Elcamino to talk about having a hunger for more ever since he was a youngin’. “Wu Level” finishes Millionaire on a drumless note with it’s crooning sample & discussing not being structured to be mad at one’s personal decisions.

Camino’s been teasing Millionaire for the past 3 weeks or so & only a month after Built for Cuban Links, I do hear some improvement from him compared to the EP that he gave us back in September although I did very much enjoy it & could be my 2nd favorite EP of the 3 that we’ve gotten from him behind The Game is the Game. The production continues to balance boom bap & drumless so Elcamino can portray the gangsta lifestyle for only 16 minutes.

Score: 7/10
