Published two years after the great commercial (and vaguely artistic) success of Monster, this Localz Only represents the duo of Noyz Narcos as an MC and the eternal Fritz da Cat as a beatmaker.
From Guilty (2010) onwards, Narcos abandoned the harsh style with which he debuted to embrace a sort of gangsta rap (allow me the definition) with greater commercial impact. If in the previous Monster, however, one could still perceive the artist's original style in a couple of tracks (but by now, very far from the glory of Non Dormire), here it is definitively abandoned.
The beats are all of excellent quality, having been created by the best Italian beatmaker, but as for the lyrics, one feels vaguely a sense of disappointment; endless references to Lenzi's crime films, A Clockwork Orange, and rock bands dominate the album's duration but never excel at anything. Technically, the rapper from Centocelle is indisputable, but the lyrics would be more suited to a teenager than to a man on the brink of 40 years.
A special mention goes to the feats, all excellent and often overshadow Noyz himself (in "Respect The Hangover" the fiery Ensi and Jack the Smoker rap bars that ridicule those of the home-playing MC).
