evilgiane scaled things back a bit on his new album "Giane 2," aiming for a more ambient vibe that still has some sharply grimy moments.

evilgiane has been one of the best producers in the game for years now, and he has much more to share. On his new album Giane 2, he swaps out some of his plugg-adjacent innovations for ambient, glitchy tracks with a lot of atmosphere and beauty to them. You won't find any bars throughout, and only a few minimal percussion moments. Nevertheless, it's a very meditative experience that shows off the Brooklyn native's skilled sound design and versatility as a producer. Hopefully he continues to incorporate these elements into his more explicitly hip-hop material, which has already benefitted from these talents a whole lot. evilgiane is here to stay, and we'd guess he'll only grow more as a producer moving forward.

About The Author
Gabriel Bras Nevares is a staff writer for HotNewHipHop. He joined HNHH while completing his B.A. in Journalism & Mass Communication at The George Washington University in the summer of 2022. Born and raised in San Juan, Puerto Rico, Gabriel treasures the crossover between his native reggaetón and hip-hop news coverage, such as his review for Bad Bunny’s hometown concert in 2024. But more specifically, he digs for the deeper side of hip-hop conversations, whether that’s the “death” of the genre in 2023, the lyrical and parasocial intricacies of the Kendrick Lamar and Drake battle, or the many moving parts of the Young Thug and YSL RICO case. Beyond engaging and breaking news coverage, Gabriel makes the most out of his concert obsessions, reviewing and recapping festivals like Rolling Loud Miami and Camp Flog Gnaw. He’s also developed a strong editorial voice through album reviews, think-pieces, and interviews with some of the genre’s brightest upstarts and most enduring obscured gems like Homeboy Sandman, Bktherula, Bas, and Devin Malik.
