Album Notes & Community Reviews

The uncompromising New York duo of billy woods and ELUCID deliver a staggering, deeply cynical masterclass in abstract, political hip-hop. The production is incredibly dense and abrasive, providing a claustrophobic backdrop for their hyper-literate, apocalyptic observations regarding American imperialism and capitalism. It cemented their reputation as one of the most vital, conceptually challenging acts in the underground.
