Album Notes & Community Reviews

The debut from the Edmonton rapper and producer merges razor-sharp lyricism with abrasive, electronic-heavy beatmaking. Drawing inspiration from IDM and UK grime, the production relies heavily on noisy, chiptune-inflected synthesizers, providing a chaotic, futuristic backdrop for his boastful, pop-culture-laden verses.
