Summertime ’06

Cold, industrial-leaning hip-hop that strips the West Coast sound of its sunshine. A double album of sparse beats and sharp, unsentimental street reportage.

It is the coldest, most honest summer you will ever hear on a record.

A cold, unsentimental gaze at a traumatic past, delivered with surgical precision.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The jarring, metallic siren-like synth that pierces through the minimalist beat of Norf Norf.
The sudden, sharp cut to silence at the very end of the final track, leaving the listener in a void.
The way the bass on Jump off the Roof feels like it is physically vibrating the floorboards of a hollow house.
