Blood Was Never Thick As Water

Pouya

A sophisticated evolution of South Florida underground rap. Hazy jazz samples meet clinical double-time flows in a record defined by introspection and urban noir.

Moments Worth Listening For
The unexpected transition into a lush, six-minute jazz-rap odyssey on Why Do We Get High?
The sharp, aggressive contrast of Denzel Curry's verse cutting through the hazy production on Wig Split.
The way the beat on Dying Slowly feels like it is physically dragging under the weight of the lyrics.
