Exodus1900 and Zootzie: “Procuring”
There’s a Presbyterian church in Ridgewood scoring just a few further {dollars} by internet hosting underground rap and noise exhibits, and final weekend I walked into the nave, the place just a few youngsters had been gathered across the rapper Sellasouls crouched on the bottom like Gollum. There, Sellasouls, with their lengthy hair obscuring their face, principally did a bunch of ghoulish, rave-ready hissing as in the event that they had been talking in code. It felt like a spirit had been being summoned, or that at any second the music would cease and somebody can be chosen as sacrifice. Cool, I assume?
The following set I vibed with a bit extra: Their identify was Exodus1900, they usually principally grunted over high-speed, overlapping beats that had been straight-up wild. Exodus even received a small mosh circle going among the many unusually sober (no consuming or smoking allowed within the church) and intimate crowd. I went dwelling and fired up Exodus’ SoundCloud web page; it’s stuffed with glitchy, darkish, bugged-out music. The track that almost all grabbed my consideration is “Procuring” with Zootzie, principally as a result of it seems like waking up after an evening of consuming to your little cousin taking part in Mario Kart at full blast. It’s such a collision of sound results that I can barely hear what Exodus and Zootzie are saying. I do not know the place I might even hearken to a track like this, however I guess it could go off within the church.
With artists releasing songs at a quick and livid tempo, it’s troublesome for the typical hip-hop head to maintain monitor of all of it—irrespective of how tapped in they’re. That’s why we created The Ones, a each day submit to spotlight the track it is advisable hear.
Try earlier Ones, and hearken to new rap from Exodus1900 and extra on our Spotify playlist.
