Arrythmia

Arrythmia

Anti-Pop Consortium’s second album might sound like a slap in the face to rap purists, as skittering IDM-style production and out-there raps from the trio of Beans, M. Sayyid, and High Priest keep things wildly creative. The sound of a bouncing ping-pong ball fuels the beat on “Ping Pong,” while “Dead in Motion”’s clipped stutter sounds like a flickering fan. They get lyrically complex on the futuristic “Bubblz,” and things get even weirder on the skit “Tron Man Speaks.” No one else was doing this style of hip-hop in 2002, and no one has pulled it off since.
