Comment: oh yeah, such sort of hip-hop music represented by Ickymack cannot be without but to be adored. It is deployed to be far away from sleazy gangsta rap and design rap instances and instead of it running partly in the vein of Sacramento-based combo the Death Grips` aesthetic which has not influenced hip-hop artists only (many famous pop artists have noticed it as quality and an influence – David Bowie, Björk, for instance). In fact, to chant about your shitty life while frequently earning a million of bucks and exploiting mind-numbing backdrops is not a proper case, isn`t? Indeed, these at times obsessive lyrics are chanted in a deranged way being backed up the rhythms at a hectic pace and mind-blowing templates which consist of poignant alarm-alike signals and affecting synth layers. By listening to it one could perceive tendencies of impending doom because those apocalyptic, religious elements performed madly and prophetically used to surface especially in such tracks as All It Is (Ft. DBoy Da Villian), and Sorban. The first mentioned composition, and Duck Hunting do exploit slowed-down vocal accents being so characteristic to witch house/vaporwave/drag house music. On the whole, the issue is impressive and spellbinding due to the masterful sway between mundane and celestial aspects, between straightforward and sophisticated expressions. The issue is a part of the discography of cOmaRecOrdz which seems to be a sumptuous source for the agitated music.
