Bloody!'s mixtape 'So Wavy Luciano' encapsulates a journey through hedonism, where the New York City rapper oscillates between feelings of utter calmness and a manic sense of urgency. Tracks like 'Need a Nerdy Bitch' highlight this fluctuation, blending stoned reminiscences with urgent rapping. His sound, rooted in the jerk-rap revival of the early 2020s, remains distinct for its clarity amidst distortion. Influenced by a mix of underground figures, Bloody! maintains a D.I.Y. ethos, creating an atmospheric sound that meditatively captures fleeting pleasure despite its chaotic presentation.
Though the phrase 'I feel good' is something of a mantra throughout the tape, it's repeated with a sense of superstitious habit. Bloody! knows pleasure is fleeting.
Bloody! favors clarity, fostering an unusually meditative energy despite his liberal use of distortion.
On 'Need a Nerdy Bitch,' fantasizing about the bookish girl of his dreams sends Bloody! spiraling, stray bytes of cyborgian Auto-Tune flying off each bar.
Bloody! pushes hedonism to manic-depressive extremes, creating a juxtaposition between unbothered moments and urgent, anxious raps.
