The collaboration
I didn't know
I needed.
MC AJ Suede
(who is also
a producer
and a visual artist)
worked with Televangel
(of the now defunct
Blue Sky Black Death)
for an album
that lurks and shakes
and feels angelic
and feels stuck in the mud.
It's a beautiful
rainfall of a rap album,
with guests
Mr. Muthafuckin eXquire,
Hemlock Ernst, Squadda B,
PremRock, and Ceschi.
It's one of the best
and most unique
rap albums I've heard
not only this year
but in recent memory.
