“mc tie never died, mc tie never died, mc tie never died.”
When hip-hop has something to say, it says it loud: Vinnie-Dangerous calls out the genre's silence in the face of fascism on (hip-hop is) pu$$y, doubling down on the Yeezus-inspired, society-shredding energy of God Made A Monster — a pandemic-era reckoning built with producer Jerm Scorsese. Shar's Dirty Rat keeps it street-level, calling out two-faced backstabbers, while Kindness of Others crafts a Memphis-rap-inspired fantasy epic — a soundtrack for a film that doesn't exist — and Luke Simpson's Murals bridges pop art and instrumental hip-hop out of pure love for both.
