WHAT THE COVER LOOKS LIKE:

WHAT WE SAY:

Taking hip hop on an avant-garde adventure, Slauson Malone blurs genres like ten beers. Urban folk, psychedelic soul, barrio ballads & unhinged hop all tussle for attention in this breath of fresh rap air.

WHAT THE RELEASE NOTES SAY:

My fear, my loneliness, my happiness. My blackness, my queerness, my objectness. I am haunted by likenesses. I’m haunted by my self. _____ like a _____. Smile, Simile. Message, Massage. Vergangenheitsbewältigung.
(Crater Speak) is the title of a catalog I published with Midway Contemporary. It is an unreliable guide of materials that influence my artistic and musical practice, loosely defined into associative chapters, outlining a perimeter. That perimeter being the rim of a ‘crater’. An absence present. Here by unimaginable heat, scale, speed, and violence. Collision to disintegration to (see The Thing 1982).
“The rings of Saturn consist of ice crystals and probably meteorite particles describing circular orbits around the planet’s equator. In all likelihood these are fragments of a former moon that was too close to the planet and was destroyed...” - W. G. Sebald, Rings of Saturn. To become a star is to become certain death. Of stone, of (s)tar, petrified. R U SCARED? Rocks will surely be here when we’re not as leopold’s ghost. Of muck, mud, oil, bones to Power. A New World by refined old old old Death.
