Album Review- HoodTREASON by NYOiL

This is a very powerful and controversial album especially following the removal of the video for the song “Y’all Should All get lynched” from YouTube. NYOiL is not a great emcee. His flow, delivery, and overall wordplay could be better but as far as lyrical content his rhymes are full of it.

This is a must listen to for any underground fan.
