Bleep

Charged with revolutionary histories of post-colonial oppression and their far-reaching tendrils into the present day, Washington DC rapper NAPPYNAPPA weaves a lyrical tapestry with IFEELJUSTLYKTHEIRART, a vast odyssey of navigating racial injustices in the techno-capitalist age. Peppered with meditations on the trans-historical and the quotidian, whilst matching a charged through-line of news snippets regarding displaced ancient African artefacts with choppy, off-kilter beats Earl Sweatshirt would be proud of, the LP sees NAPPYNAPPA don a conceptual flourish as urgent as it is unapologetically raw. On the likes of ‘LOVE ES NOT FAR’, a sly pop sensibility reveals itself as another vital tool for the rapper.
