Cyrus tha Virus has released his new mixtape titled ‘The Infiltration‘.
Cyrus tries to balance the music on the 22 track tape, making ‘Hard’ and ‘Soft sides, eventually the former overshadows the rest taking into consideration his strongest points – making music that sounds belligerent.
It comes easy for Cyrus on ‘Termination‘, ‘Plethora‘, and ‘One mile‘ as he ryhmes with ‘battle mode’ and fiery lyrics and even though songs like ‘Key to my heart’ and ‘Attitude girl’ fall short, the creative ‘Igbo’ featuring upcomer D’Truce seems to cover up for it.
The high point of the mixtape however is the ‘Swat and Bloodhound’ triology featuring a host of Nigerian rappers, the first installment leads the pack. Another intresting thing is the skits provided by the likes of Modenine, M.I, Terry tha Rapman and co.
