Moments Worth Listening For
The jarring transition from the dehumanizing prison intake intro into the frantic, siren-laced beat of When Will They Shoot
The way the heavy, funk-driven bassline of It Was a Good Day provides a temporary, fragile peace amidst the surrounding chaos
The explosive energy of Wicked where the ragga-influenced hook collides with a wall of distorted percussion
