Album Notes & Community Reviews

Pivoting away from his established shock-rap persona, Chris Palko delivers an intensely personal, autobiographical exorcism of childhood trauma and addiction. Supported by the left-field underground production of El-P and Blockhead, the album marks a significant leap in lyrical maturity and abstract storytelling within the Def Jux roster.
