DJ Kay Slay - Hocus Pocus

Review by Eliza Quinzet-Leijon

Album Review: Hocus Pocus by DJ Kay Slay Yo, let’s talk about Hocus Pocus, the 2019 Hip Hop album from DJ Kay Slay. Released under eOne in the US, this project is straight fire for anyone who loves raw beats and bars that slap. It’s not trying to reinvent the wheel, but man, does it remind you why Hip Hop is so dope when done right. The title track, “Hocus Pocus,” sticks with me big time. It’s one of those joints where the beat just grabs you by the collar and doesn’t let go. The production has this gritty vibe—like walking through NYC late at night—and the verses? Chef’s kiss. Kay Slay brought some heavy hitters on this one, and they all came to eat. You can tell everyone was vibing in the studio because there’s no filler; every line feels intentional. Another standout is “Streets Don’t Sleep.” (Yeah, yeah, I know it dropped earlier as a single, but it still bangs.) This track hits different because it’s got that old-school street narrative mixed with modern energy. The storytelling? Razor-sharp. The hook stays stuck in your head for days, trust me. It’s the kind of song that makes you nod your head while also thinking, “Damn, that’s deep.” What I love most about Hocus Pocus is how unapologetically New York it feels. Kay Slay wasn’t out here chasing trends or trying to sound like anyone else. He stayed true to his roots, and that authenticity shines through loud and clear. Now, here’s the kicker: listening to this album felt like catching up with an old friend who always keeps it real. But honestly? I kinda wish there were more skits or interludes—it would’ve added another layer of personality. Still, if you’re into Hip Hop that hits hard without overthinking it, this one’s worth a spin. Oh, and random thought: Kay Slay really knew how to craft a vibe. Makes me wonder what he could’ve done with today’s TikTok generation. Would they even get it? Probably not—but hey, that’s their loss.
