Album Notes & Community Reviews

A landmark release for the Anticon collective, this underground supergroup project unites four distinctive underground emcees over murky, atmospheric production. The densely poetic, deeply philosophical lyricism actively deconstructs traditional rap bravado, paving the way for the burgeoning experimental indie-hop movement of the early 2000s.
