ferocious undefinable irreverent righteous rage and Baltimore grief and gripes album with endless texture and cross pollinated genre refusalism. Brian raps without cute puns and faux subtlety and Tariq is a wildly wantonly ambitious experimental musician unafraid of drawing from the wells of drill and krautrock, psych folk r&b and avant garde metal

playing the entire h1ss1ng pr1gs album lately but recommend this track. my brother played a brainiac mixtape when he was driving me around in 2001, and this specific song gave me a ear adjustment but not in a “this is loud“ way. it was a formative experience lol

Sometimes theres an implicit stank put on my city; on the East Coast there’s a kind of New York Supremacy. People think of Baltimore as a failed state backwater, a curiosity at best. It can be tough living here sometimes, to be sure. But Bmore has, however, easily the most vibrant, exciting, original, diverse and ambitious music and art scene of any small city in the East and from what I can tell, in the entirety of the country. At any rate, this breakout hit from Tate Kobang is quintessential Baltimore popular art. The style of minimalism with hard pulsing snare claps and the parsimonious use of sampled groove bits (which, that’s all Bmore Club style, distinctly), obviously the lyrics too and the settings of the video which tell a story without telling a story, it’s genuinely one of my favorite hip-hop songs, and you gotta watch the video.

CANDOR is SPLENDOR. Reject the categories of based and cringe + say exactly the thing that you feel from the gut and heart before you erode those things
Irony is great at the service of jokes and wild pastiche. But don’t let it be a stumbling block. Shoot your shot, be embarrassed, be open like a snow angel and trust the True + Good
