Electricity Is on Our Side

An 82-minute labyrinth of avant-garde jazz rap, glitchy beat collages, and breathless, hyper-intellectual poetry that challenges the boundaries of hip-hop.

June 8, 2018 · Temporary Whatever

A restless, hyper-intellectual storm of existential anxiety tempered by moments of deep, smoky jazz beauty.

Moments Worth Listening For

The transition into the dizzying, polyrhythmic jazz-rap explosion on Right Before the Miracle, where the beat seems to fold in on itself.

The haunting, stripped-back vulnerability of Pull the Sky Closer, closing the massive album with a lingering, ambient-tinted sense of resolution.

The frantic, breathless vocal performance on The Year I Became a Mutherfuckin’ G, where the delivery pushes against the boundaries of human breath control.
