lyrics
What makes a person take their own life? At just twelve years old, that little girl already too old for this world. I mean, it’s not like I haven’t thought about it myself: white people like a good tragedy, like white people like Ikea kitchen cabinetry, like white people don’t like to think about what it’s like not to be white. Like white people like their justice like they like their little lies—white. But this is not an indictment of lightness of skin—in itself it’s not a sin—but this whiteness is a sickness or condition we are living in. Or under. It’s no wonder some are moved to drastic measures or chose to lose themselves in temporary but toxic pleasures. It’s a wonder we can even be together. Now is not the time for a measured public response and empty political gestures. Another ineffectual forum or platform for discussion: a conversation that always revolves around a centred white position. As if it were always that way, somehow natural or inevitable, like a planet that just keeps getting a little less hospitable, a little warmer, a little harder. And in some places people will always be boiling their water.
What makes a person take their own life? At ten years old, another little girl already too old for this world. And it’s not an uncommon occurrence, sadly. This was just the latest in a series of tragedies. And with increased frequency does it by definition cease to be so? I hope, for all our sakes, the answer is no.
“…I thought this was going to be a hip-hop-album, experimental yes, but this sounds like the soundtrack to a bad horrorfilm taking place in the year 2206.” - Groove Endemik Music
Easily album of the year so far. A sprawling, buzzing droning journey into the apocalypse. A heartbroken look at the downfall of humanity. Scorched black and ashen. This is music for a roadtrip into Gehenna and Abaddon. Creaking electronics and wheezing beat-boxes soundtrack a journey into a society that's dead on its feet, lurching unthinkingly to its own demise. Buy it, succumb to the cold skeletal embrace. Daniel Olmos
Jesus what an absolutely stunning collection of hip-hop. If I have to be a dick, this album is more of a mix tape in style, the aesthetics of each song is just so different, there's a certain level of narrative disconnect. That said, the actual songs themselves are fucking ill. Packed with dope features, each one matched with Scott's production makes for a genuinely rewarding listen. Rest easy man, you'll be missed. always_kos
