Though that might prove a little alienating to some, the lush and layered album does provide ample sights to discover. One particular highlight arrives courtesy of “Mecca,” a lively track that features contributions from J.I.D, Olu, and Wowgr8. Over a chaotic yet elegantly spiritual jam session, Johnny Venus steps up with some serious rock-star energy, his cadence packed with passionate swagger. Wowgr8 holds it down for verse two, his flow consistently top tier as he reflects on society’s crumbling foundation. Last but not least is J.I.D, who switches things up with a more melodic delivery, slowly building up as his story progresses.

A wild experience amidst a soothing overall picture, “Mecca” serves as a welcome dose of energy in the sermon that is Spilligion. Check it out for yourself now.

QUOTABLE LYRICS

Got me in the mood now
Hit it out the ballpark, different kind of heartthrob
Aubrey tried to tell me, “It’s a Rollie, not a stopwatch”
When you from the bottom, every shot a long shot
