Are kids still doing that “Stussy S”, or did it just get to Australia?

Umbilical might be my favorite album of 2024.

Very stoked to get another chance to see these guys live again in October.

This website posted a chart showing the rappers with the most extensive vocabulary, and Aesop Rock won by nearly a thousand words more than his nearest competitor (GZA).

But with that big vocabulary, sometimes Aesop’s verses sound like a cool word salad. I’m here for it, but it doesn’t always make sense.

I haven’t been this excited about a Sumac release in years.

Crust.

Play this loudly and let it wash over you.

This group physically upsets my partner. Live they made her feel so sick we had to leave the show.

A gentle crushing.

Album of the year material.

Go get it and everything else they’ve ever released, it is all great.

Anything on Backwoodz Studios gets an auto-listen from me. It doesn’t all hit, but enough does that I always give it a try.
