1993

Onyx

Thirty minutes of unrelenting, shouted vocals over grimy, distorted boom bap. A modern recreation of the 1993 New York hardcore rap aesthetic.

It sounds like a 1993 riot recorded yesterday on a cassette deck.

Relentless, confrontational energy that feels like a physical weight in the room.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The explosive transition from the Ruff & Rugged intro into the high-octane shouting of Fight Da Power.
The rhythmic, repetitive 'Bo! Bo! Bo!' hook that mimics the staccato of a drum machine.
The way the bass line on Heads Up feels like it is physically pushing against the vocal track.
