Album Notes & Community Reviews

Operating as a breakneck, hyper-kinetic introduction to their breakthrough album, the track is built around a sped-up, heavily chopped sample from a traditional Malian music recording. MC Ride's breathless, syncopated flow mimics a high-speed police chase, perfectly matching the frantic, glitching drum patterns and dizzying synthesizer loops. The single proved highly instrumental in establishing the trio's signature sound, blending intense internet paranoia with terrifyingly danceable rhythms.
