Stove God Cooks Surprise Drops 2nd EP “Stop Callin’ Me, I’m Cookin’” Prod. by Roc Marciano on EVEN (EP Review)

This is the 2nd EP from Syracuse, New York emcee Stove God Cooks. A protégé of Roc Marciano, the latter produced Stovey’s highly acclaimed full-length debut Reasonable Drought in March 2020 right when the COVID-19 lockdowns began. He signed to Griselda Records not too long after & released his debut EP If These Kitchen Walls Could Talk a year & a half later. However he’s surprise-releasing Stop Callin’ Me, I’m Cookin’ ahead of his Griselda debut Stove Jesus & even an album produced by Stoupe the Enemy of Mankind.

“Earl the Pearl” is a soulful boom bap opener talking about dead rappers getting more life when their eyes are closed whereas “E$co Chipper” continues to chop up the soul samples showing disgust towards his competition. “Marvin Ye” works the kicks & snares back in likening himself as a mix between Marvin Gaye & Kanye West while “The Glove” after the “$ocrates” skit goes drumless again to talk about being amongst the illest. “Ba$eline Hov” has this chipmunk soul flare to the beat getting on his hustler shit & “Chapo Phone” sumptuously  talks about being a don.

Stove God to me is an extraordinarily generational talent & I’m confident that will be getting a sequel to Stop Callin’ Me, I’m Cookin’ at some point near future, considering the fact that this is only Side A but what we have here nevertheless has to be amongst the best EPs I’ve heard in this year. Roc Marciano’s soulfully drumless/boom bap production matched with Stovey’s immaculate Coke raps increase anticipation for Stove Jesus & the Stoupe-produced album, as will Side B.

Score: 9/10
