We need to talk about Backxwash.
Maybe it is the African, Canadian immigrant perspective. Maybe it is the transgender, African Canadian voice butchering down walls that need to be broken at will as we speak. Religious, cultural norms & absurdities included. All within a sober effort to create that new space and reality where one can simply flourish and LIVE. Breathe. PMA for 2021 onwards... why not? It all just seems more real here. An actual vital experience that just so happens to blow everything out of the water in the process.
It is MORE than hiphop, it is MORE than everything. And seemingly better than any attempt at similar music aesthetics. No gimmicks, no faux gangster immaturity, no hype beast bullshit, none of the trappings of current, twitter drawn, voids of creativity you see in such spaces. Backxwash is well produced & is a DOPE producer herself, this stuff is dark as fuck, it delivers. It is soul. It is metal. It is subversive. It is fascinating. It makes me angry when I listen to it, maybe that's the point? REAL STORIES not being told elsewhere within extreme musics.
Everything just seems to pale in comparison. Backxwash. Wow.
