Review: G Hanz Releases Instrumental Hip-Hop Album ‘SUPLEXUS’

G Hanz, a producer from Plattsburgh, N.Y., has released his latest project, SUPLEXUS, which showcases his talent in the instrumental hip-hop genre. The album is a culmination of his craft and passion, reflecting a deep-rooted subculture where making beats is often a labor of love rather than a lucrative endeavor. This project stands out as G Hanz’s best work to date, marked by dense references and a return to the traditional methods of sampling and looping.

Plattsburgh has recently seen a resurgence in hip-hop, fueled by collaborations within the Joint Commission, a collective that includes G Hanz. This new album contrasts with his previous work, The Streetlight Era, focusing more on a collage of sounds rather than the heavy synth-heavy approach of his last LP. SUPLEXUS is characterized by its engaging beats that cater well to genre enthusiasts and showcases G Hanz’s technical prowess in beat-making.

The album is notable for its surprising transitions and confident composition. Tracks like "Head Case" feature robust sounds reminiscent of El-P’s style, while others like "Eye Spy" offer a more laid-back vibe, moving smoothly into "Speak Easy," which combines pop and trap elements. The use of vocal samples and effects further enriches the listening experience, making it an artistically conceived project rather than a mere collection of beats.

Overall, SUPLEXUS is a sonically rich album that highlights G Hanz’s melodic sensibility and solid technical skills. It is designed for both casual listeners and fellow producers, and there’s hope that this release will garner him wider recognition in the music industry. The album is available for streaming on SoundCloud.
