Trusting your eyes might have made sense in a pre-televisual society, but contemporary strategies of media manipulation have rendered sight just as unreliable as the other four senses. On a new single off his latest street album, the Brooklynite calls into question the common wisdom that Seeing Is Believing, urging listeners to maintain a healthy skepticism with regard to anything taking place on the TV screen—or, better yet, to turn off the tube entirely. Joining MidaZ over IMAKEMADBEATS's screaming guitar riffs and stuttering boom-bap backbeat, Non Phixion alumnus Sabat Red and Ohio rhymesayer Blueprint echo the headliner's incredulity in aggressive guest 16s. I could tell you how dope the DJBooth-hostedAU: Another Universe LP is, but why take my word for it when you can hear it for yourself? Released in mid-August, the project is available now for free streaming and digital purchase.
