Signor Benedick The Moor: El Negro
This was originally released as a
free Bandcamp download last year, but it’s made enough waves that Deathbomb Arc just
released it on CD with a bonus track. Angry experimental Shakesperean college-age bedroom-recorded prog-rap. A bit of Danny Brown in his voice, but a decade-plus younger. Plenty of punk influence in some of the tracks (especially “Existential Humanitarianism As A Fashion Choice” and “Lecherous, Senseless, Debauchery”), but also orchestral scores (“Aristotelian Reptilian Pavillion (Opening Titles)” is a dramatic classical-inspired instrumental). One of the best rap albums (not just debuts) in recent memory. Seriously creative and accomplished and ambitious and well worth your time.
