Famicom – Hokkaido Homegrown

I don’t generally spruik things, but I’ve been listening to this so much that, given it’s free, I thought I should. This might be old news to some; but it’s a beat tape, with a Wu-Tang influence all over it. Though there’s not much soul, the beats lope and stagger to the point where they might fall over, and it’s so crunchy and static ridden it almost sounds like he’s used flash compression.

My only criticism is to point out the incongruence of Kung Fu samples packaged with a sort of Nippon fetish, when Kung Fu is very much Chinese… but then, debating the cultural authenticity of this beat tape is kind of silly.
