Album Notes & Community Reviews

Operating firmly within the underground alternative hip-hop movement, Mike Ladd delivers a densely produced, conceptually ambitious sophomore record. 'Welcome to the Afterfuture' blends jagged illbient soundscapes with urgent, politically charged spoken-word delivery and science-fiction themes. The intricate sampling and off-kilter beats position it as a key document of late-90s and early-2000s experimental rap.
