Madstyle's album “Bloodrush,“ released in 1993 under Moon Roof, is a remarkable entry in the golden era of hardcore rap. It's characterized by its razor-blade delivery, often likened to Onyx, setting a high bar for enthusiasts. The production, handled by Frankie Cutlass, and features from artists like Doom of Darkness, Evil Twins, and the unexpected presence of international pop-reggae star Shaggy, add layers to its unique sound. Despite being their only full-length release, “Bloodrush“ resonates with its aggressive beats, haunting samples, and an overall gritty atmosphere reminiscent of horrorcore. Its underground status, somewhat overshadowed by comparisons to Onyx, doesn't diminish its impact on late-night hardcore rap sessions. The album's blend of raw energy, interspersed with references to A Tribe Called Quest and beats echoing “Five to One“ and “We Will Rock You,“ creates an eclectic yet cohesive sound. From the doom-rap vibes of “Halls Of Horror“ to the intriguing Shaggy feature, “Bloodrush“ is a potent concoction of urban decay, unapologetic hardcore rap, and an unmissable experience for genre aficionados.
