The Leek, Vol. 1

A raw collection of archival drill anthems. Distorted 808s and slurred, defiant vocals capture the unpolished energy of Chicago street rap.

The raw, unpolished blueprint of Chicago drill that sounds like it was recorded in a basement and meant to be played in a tank.

Relentless, confrontational energy with an undercurrent of cold, urban isolation.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The relentless, machine-gun vocal delivery on War that feels like a single breathless thought.

The haunting, skeletal synth melody on How It Go that provides a surprisingly melodic backdrop to the grit.

The moment the distorted bass first hits on Close That Door, threatening to blow out the speakers.
