Review: KID YUGI – “All the Names of the Devil”

Reviews

Kid Yugi never limits himself to the surface of things but always seeks depth. With the “expanded” version of “All the Names of the Devil”, he brings his dark and visionary imagery to an even deeper and more mature level.

After the overwhelming success of his “I nome del Diavolo”, a record that projected him into the Olympus of the Italian genre, he offers 8 new tracks, 6 of which are unreleased, bringing new nuances to an already iconic project.

Kid Yugi knows well what it means to go further, and he confirms it in this “closing of the circle”. In LOKI, shows us a new side of his narrative: a journey into mythology and games of deception, a story that goes beyond the usual canons of his storytelling and leads us to experience the duality between light and shadow, between truth and lies. This is a Yugi who is not afraid to take risks, to challenge expectations with impactful collaborations, such as those with Massimo Pericolo and Glocky. Their presence amplifies the intensity of already sharp tracks, which move between raw realism and a certain amount of internal reflection, a mix that captures the listener and leaves no room for pauses.

The remix of SXSIC, a reinterpretation of a classic by Bassi Maestro and Fabri Fibra, it is the celebration of respect for old-school rap, but with the desire to reshuffle the cards. Kid Yugi keeps the track faithful to the original spirit, but with a reinterpretation that fits perfectly into the mood of the album, confirming itself as a sincere homage and a successful stylistic challenge.

But the strong point of the expansion is undoubtedly Womanthe single that preceded the album and closes the “trilogy of damned love” started with Lilith and Eve.

Here, Kid Yugi delves into the dark side of relationships, playing with biblical and gothic imagery, a sort of visual poem that explores the boundaries of toxic love. With this track, Yugi approaches the autobiographical, an intimate dialogue that connects him to the audience in a raw and real way, maintaining the trap sound that dominates but with a new and mature sensitivity.

All the Names of the Devil is the continuation of Kid's journey.
The starting point for a new project which will be the most important and fundamental album for him for his future.

He confirms!
