Runnin - n - Gunnin

by Tommy Wright, III

Runnin - n - Gunnin cover art

Self-produced and originally distributed locally on cassette, this hyper-aggressive recording is a terrifying, foundational document of the Memphis underground. Wright's unrelenting, rapid-fire flow details incredibly dark, violent street narratives over crude, heavily distorted drum machine patterns and eerie, repetitive synthesizer loops. The profoundly lo-fi, menacing atmosphere cemented his reputation as an uncompromising pioneer of Southern horrorcore.
