Plush Sanchesโ Reporting Live Part. 1, dropped under DaOne Records, is a raw, unfiltered window into a rapper locked into his own orbit. Across its six main tracks, Plush doubles down on repetition, inside slang, and a vocal delivery that rides somewhere between reckless intoxication and razor-sharp confidence.
The albumโs opener, โReporting Live Part. 1 Intro (Live)โ comes alive with echoey studio chatter, a behind-the-curtain nod that tunes into a pirate frequency before the real show begins. Then โTiny Giantโ turns up with a loose, almost dazed rhythm. Plush tosses in surreal flexes, โWay they blit like Harry Potter / Make them disappear,โ using fiction to exacerbate the height of street violence. Beneath the swagger, though, he raps,ย โStill they change on me,โ peeling back the paranoia and hurt, hinting at betrayal cloaked under diamond talk and drugged-out braggadocio.
Midway, โPhantom Nightโ pulls listeners into a darker orbit. The production turns haunting with a bass-heavy landscape as Plushโs deep voice and looseness build menace. He sneers, โStones keep on shining in the dark,โ a jewel metaphor that doubles as defiance, as the light under constant shadow, persistence despite enemies โhating since the start.โ His comparisons sting with cartoonish absurdity (โThese niโas Teletubbiesโ), ridiculing rivals while stacking his own legend.
The closer, โDark Horseman,โ is Plush at his most fantastical. The track leans on smoky horns and sultry blues touches while Plush slips into a dreamworld of Peter Pan shadows, beanstalk climbs, and NBA crossovers. The surreal blends with the material grind, his constant chase for โthat bagโ woven into mythic imagery.
By the end, Reporting Live Part. 1 is a heady dispatch from Plushโs psyche, part diary, part cartoon, part block report. Itโs chaotic, brash, and still poetic with the way life gets. Check out the music videos, visualisers and the rest of the tracks by Plush Sanches on YouTube.
