The Edge

Russ

Twenty-five tracks of murky, lo-fi hip-hop recorded in the pre-fame shadows. A sprawling, restless document of a young artist living on the psychological brink.

It's the sound of Russ before the fame, losing his mind in a basement over some really dusty beats.

A claustrophobic and restless exploration of pre-fame anxiety and creative obsession.

Restless saturates this record far more than the artist's norm.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The claustrophobic vocal layering on Relax, You're Doing Too Much that mimics an internal panic attack.
The sudden shift into a more aggressive, percussive flow during the bridge of Mutombo.
The way the beat on 3 Wishes feels like it's dissolving into static as the album reaches its conclusion.
