Green Seed, The
Drapetomania
Drapetomania is brimming with lyrics of fury courtesy of emcees R-Tist and C.O.M.P.L.E.T., the stabbing attacks of DJ FX and Jeff C, and a sound world layered with textures and trunk-rattling beats. With producer Jeffrey Cain (Remy Zero), engineer Kyle Ginther, and mastering guru Paul Logus - R-tists beats hit dizzying new heights. Youd be forgiven for thinking that Drapetomania wasnt the product of the Dirty South rather than the grit of J Dillas Detroit or otherworldly productions of Lex Records. Also a feast for eyes showcasing the artwork of EHQuestionmark - the design collective behind much of Lexs output (Neon Neon, DOOM). Drapetomania contemplates bondage - artistic, romantic, etc. - but, ultimately, its a soundtrack to Freedom. And whatever comes next. The vinyl component contains a digital download card.
