Album Notes & Community Reviews

Following intense corporate backlash regarding the violent political content of his debut, the militant San Francisco rapper was dropped by Tommy Boy, prompting him to self-release this uncompromising sophomore album. The dark, cinematic boom-bap production perfectly frames his radical, incendiary lyricism addressing systemic racism and violent political retaliation.
