This is not your standard underground anthem, this is a sassy primal scream called "In My Zone". Here, Grim Logick and iLLLogick of 3NIGMA BRED strip back the gloss of music industry aspiration to its rawest form, leaving a view unlike any other one that demands sacrifice, solitude, and unwavering sight. This song was not recorded in a fancy studio; instead, iLLLogick's bedroom and living room in Saint Amant, Louisiana, helped establish the sound of real DIY.
"In My Zone" sounded personal and claustrophobic from the first hook, "I can feel the fuckin' walls //They're closing in on me," as Grim Logick rallied behind a full palette of Manchurian autotune, painting vivid pictures of xenophobic paranoia while turning revolutionary defiance into explosive hooks. While his verse is positively consumed by the phantoms of already lost victories and the prison of an ambition turned executive, iLLLogic karmically mirrors this energy with a formulaic spar that is tactical, future-oriented, and equally as stubborn. That, in conjunction with one another, creates a dichotomy between the head-on collision of vulnerable yet raw and authentic emotional expression and unabashed, unwavering momentum.
"In My Zone" is remarkable in a way that extends beyond its lyrical honesty due to the history embedded in the track itself. He recorded the chorus during a time of desperation years ago on Bluetooth headphones that fans sent him, and finished the verses on newer equipment at a later date. Those lo-fi layers of historical depth and contemporary focus have a lived-in quality that feels transportive without being removed, like an artifact opened up and reimagined for modern ears.
"In My Zone" sets the tempo with Buddha Vybez providing background while 3NIGMA BRED commands the track. The song is as much a social experiment as it is a track built for heavy rotation, with no wasted space to be found and no compromises made for marketability, making it a sing-along for the outcasts that spins bleak into a selling point. It's not a song that sounds so much as it is one you feel yourself moving through. "In My Zone" is when you are on their territory, you might not ever want to go back.
