Album Notes & Community Reviews

A deeply unsettling and highly experimental collaboration between the Cincinnati producer and the famously eccentric Anticon MC. 'Circle' eschews traditional rap structures entirely, pairing Doseone's manic, nasal spoken-word poetry with incredibly dark, industrial-tinged ambient soundscapes and fractured drum beats.
