The Crashing Sound of How It Goes

The Crashing Sound of How It Goes cover art

Remaining a deeply enigmatic figure in the underground rap scene, the Memphis artist crafted a remarkably hazy, surreal hip-hop record heavily steeped in 1980s R&B loops. The project functions as a dense, deeply hypnotic collage, layering repetitive soul chops underneath his commanding, slightly muffled baritone delivery. The project garnered immense praise from internet rap circles for its beautifully nostalgic, dreamlike production.
