Sach O would have written more today but he had to get through this Franz Fanon book.

In which an academically inclined multi-cultural beatmaker takes on the prison industrial complex and 90s Hip-Hop video stereotypes. I’ll let her tell it: “Hip Hop Spa posits an uncanny parallel between the luxurious solitary confinement of a spa experience and the introspective image of prison solitary confinement often presented in contemporary, genre specific, Hip Hop cultural product. Solitary subconscious is the experience of virtual age Hip Hop culture. The track expands the lexicon of the genre, while questioning the general public’s consumption of rap and hip hop aesthetics.

All you need to know? Those are the chillest 808 booms you’ll ever hear and the steel drums are straight up haunting, son.
