Bktherula - LVL5 P1 (Rezension)
(Lesezeit: 3min)
Bktherula veröffentlichte nun am 17.02.2023 ihr lang erwartetes Album "LVL5 P1". Es ist zehn Songs groß und nur 20 Minuten lang.
Die erste Single des Albums, "FOREVER, PT2 (JEZEBEL) (feat. Destroy Lonely)" ist schon im letzten Juni erschienen und hat seitdem schon knapp zwei Millionen Klicks auf Spotify sammeln können (daran war ich nicht ganz unschuldig). Daraufhin brachte sie im letzten Monat die zwei Singles "TAN" und "PSSYONFT", beide mit sehenswerten, interessanten Musikvideos, heraus. Auch wenn sie eigentlich eher bekannt für ihren lässigen Flow auf entspannteren Beats ist, zeigt sie bei diesen beiden Songs, dass sie auch auf dolleren, typischen Underground Beats abliefern kann.
Auf "LVL5 P1" weiß man, jedes mal wenn der nächste Song anfängt, nicht was auf einen zukommt. Ein aggressiver Trap Beat mit doller 808, ein "typischer" flowiger Bktherula Song oder doch etwas in die R&B Richtung. Einerseits ist das zwar aufregend, andererseits wirkt es zusammenhangslos und mehr wie ein Mixtape als ein Album. Trotzdem gefallen mir einige einzelne Songs wie zum Beispiel "TAN" oder "DOITAGAIN" sehr gut, doch ich denke das sie besser zur Geltung kommen würden in einem Album oder einer EP, dass insgesamt mehr auf ein Genre setzt.
Mein absoluter Favorit vom Album ist "FOREVER, PT2 (JEZEBEL)" mit Destroy Lonely. Die beiden Stimmen harmonieren unglaublich gut und der Song lief bei mir schon im letzten Sommer rauf und runter. Es ist einfach ein gute Laune Song, zu dem man entspannt auf der Couch liegen kann, der aber gleichzeitig auch total tanzbar ist.
Neben dem Atlanta Rapper Destroy Lonely ist auch Emo Sängerin, Rico Nasty auf dem Album als Feature vertreten und das sind nicht die ersten nicht die ersten "Underground Größen" mit denen Bktherula kollaboriert. Sie ist vertreten auf Songs von zum Beispiel Matt Ox oder Autumn! und wird immer wieder in Songzeilen von den aufstrebenden Superstars Tana, Jaydes oder Luisss erwähnt.
Sie ist eine der wenigen Frauen in dieser frischen, jungen Underground Bewegung und ich denke das sie sehr großes Potenzial hat auch wenn es bei den Lyrics, auch bei diesem Album, um die selben typischen Sachen geht. Geld, Drogen und Sex. Es geht eben bei dieser Musik mehr um das ganze Gefühl und um den Flow als um die Wörter die gesagt werden. Ich mag sie zwar lieber auf den ruhigen flowigen Beats und würde mir auch mal einen gefühlvolleren Song von ihr wünschen, doch das ist Geschmackssache, da die 808 lastigeren Songs auf dem Album ihr wirklich auch sehr gut stehen. Sie hat eine tolle Leichtigkeit in der Art zu rappen und so kann sie auf ruhigen Beats schweben und auf den harten Beats, fast schon, satirisch rappen wie bei dem Song "PSSYONFT (abgekürzt für Pussy on Facetime)
Insgesamt ist es ein interessantes frisches Album, dem zwar ein roter Faden fehlt, in dem dadurch aber auch nahezu jeder etwas findet das ihm gefällt. Auch die Musikvideos haben Spaß gemacht zu schauen und ich denke, dass man Bktherula definitiv im Blick behalten sollte.
1. TAN - 8.5/10
2. DOITAGAIN - 8/10
3. BACK - 7/10
4. BELIEVE - 7.5/10
5. CRAZY GIRL - 5.5/10
6. NO ADLIB - 5/10
7. FOREVER, PT2 (JEZEBEL) (feat. Destroy Lonely) - 10/10
8. PSSYONFT - 8/10
9. ????? - 7/10
10. WE MADE IT (feat. Rico Nasty) - 4/10
LVL5 P1 - 7.1/10

Bktherula Cracks the "Code" in Her Latest Video from LVL5 P2
Bktherula shares the intense new video for "CODE," the opening song from her recent album LVL5 P2.
Produced by azure, "CODE" is a bracing introduction to the world of LVL5 P2, buzzing with frantic percussion, speaker-shattering 808s, and dissonant synths. Bk rhymes in quick, declarative bursts, making very clear that she's operating on a level that very few can reach: "She trying it, said she LVL5, but I ain't buying it/Denying it, that is not your door because you prying it," she spits. Directed by Bktherula herself, the video finds Bk performing the song in tight close-up, as she delivers LVL5 energy and bounces amidst shaking camera movements and flashing visual effects.
The 21-year-old Bktherula always follows her inner muse and makes music without emotional inhibitions or artificial creative boundaries. On her new album, LVL5 P2, Bk takes her hybrid sound into new territory. The album features the buzzing singles "CRAYON," which has earned over three million streams, and "SHAKIN IT," a collaboration with Cash Cobain.
youtube
Deepening a style she explored with her acclaimed 2023 album LVL5 P1, the new album deposits the listener directly into Bk's sonic realm, crafted by Bk with assistance from producers like azure, Simmyauto, among others. Songs like recent single "THE WAY" and new highlight "RACKS UP" add dollops of clean electric guitar to her room-enveloping sound, while songs like "WISHUWASDACREW" and "INSANE" borrow elements from chiptune and her beloved video game soundtracks. Bktherula always sounds perfectly at home, whether she's yearning for her love on a ballad like "JUST MAKE SURE," collaborating with JID on "WOMAN," or tearing through chaotic rage beats on songs like the ferocious single "TATTI." The new album earned praise in Pitchfork ("The Atlanta rapper’s latest imagines a higher dimension where outré flexes and endless love affairs are enveloped by waves of metallic crunch and mind-expanding guitar"), Alternative Press (“The genre-bending rapper and singer-songwriter is competing in her own lane — perhaps even in her own dimension"), HYPEBEAST ("Bktherula Shows Her Versatility on New Album 'LVL5 P2'"), The FADER ("Bktherula expands her consciousness on LVL 5 P2"), and many other publications.
Bk began her preparation for LVL5 P2 last year, sharing a string of successful singles, including “It Wasn’t Me (Freestyle)” via On The Radar and “CRAZY GIRL 2” featuring YoungBoy Never Broke Again — a remix of “CRAZY GIRL” from last year’s Pitchfork-acclaimed LVL5 P1. Prior to LVL5 P1, she released her EP Love Nirvana (Acoustic), featuring original and newly stripped-down versions of beloved tracks, including “UH HUH,” “Tweakin’ Together” and “Summer.”
Bk's new album will receive a warm welcome when Bk joins PinkPantheress on her "Capable of Love Tour," which takes the U.S. this April. Click HERE to buy tickets and see tour dates.
Recently named to Forbes' annual 30 Under 30 list, Bk has built a devoted following by releasing tracks that showcase her raw emotions. Now, with LVL5 P2, she’s done it again — delivering a singular statement that could never have come from anybody else.

Bktherula: Lvl5 Tour (Philly) bydrew
one of my personal fav albums of the year, her popular songs “He Say, She Say” and “Santanny” drew me in to listening to her newer project titled “LVL5 P1”
At the concert, she was a very active performer, very fun, interactive, and there wasn’t many moments of silence and if they were there, it was because she wanted it to be.
3/5 of these pictures are on digital cameras and the other 2 are shot on film cameras.

Bktherula Elevates to 'LVL5 P2' With New Project, Shares New Music Video with Cash Cobain
Trail-blazing Atlanta native Bktherula shares new album LVL5 P2. The body of work arrives with the cinematic visual for "SHAKIN IT" featuring Cash Cobain.
The 21-year-old artist always follows her inner muse and makes music without emotional inhibitions or artificial creative boundaries. On her new album, LVL5 P2, Bk takes her hybrid sound into new territory. The album features the recently released buzzing single "CRAYON," which has earned over three million streams in just four weeks.Deepening a style she explored with her acclaimed 2023 album LVL5 P1, the new album deposits the listener directly into Bk's sonic realm, crafted by Bk with assistance from producers like azure, Simmyauto, among others.

Bktherula always sounds perfectly at home, whether she's yearning for her love on a ballad like "JUST MAKE SURE," or tearing through chaotic rage beats on songs like "CODE" or the ferocious single "TATTI."
LVL5 P2 arrives along with a video for "SHAKIN IT" ft. Cash Cobain. Produced by Cash himself, the song finds a middle ground between Cash's sample-heavy "sexy drill" sound and Bk's ethereal dreamscapes, conjuring an atmosphere that invites head-nodding and hip-shaking. Alternating rapid-fire rhymes and tuneful cadences, Bk skillfully maneuvers between insistent 808s and crisp finger snaps with wavy flexes before Cash delivers his free-flowing X-rated bars to end the song. In the video, Bk takes a trip to Brooklyn, where she walks along the waterfront, dances in front of a bodega, and shuts down the function with Cash.
Bk began her preparation for LVL5 P2 last year, sharing a string of successful singles, including “It Wasn’t Me (Freestyle)” via On The Radar and “CRAZY GIRL 2” featuring YoungBoy Never Broke Again — a remix of “CRAZY GIRL” from last year’s Pitchfork-acclaimed LVL5 P1.

In the video, Bk spends an idyllic day by the sea with her bae, as they watch waves crash and the birds peacefully take flight.
