Celebrated New Yorkers M. Sayyid, Beans, Priest, and Earl Blaize bring their unique take on hip-hop to the world with this intensely challenging debut album. As part of the "progressive" hip-hop scene (which also includes the likes of Anticon, Shapeshifters, Mike Ladd, Project Blowed, and Celestial Records), Anti-Pop specializes in countering the formulas and fronts which keep much of today's hip-hop romanticizing in neutral. Producer Blaize's beats thunder and plod along efficiently, treading a fickle line between rhythm and chaos. Heavy on repetition and bleeding with distortion, Blaize crafts an interesting soundscape that lyricists Sayyid, Beans, and Priest use to play with words. Sci-fi rhymes and free-think flows are delivered with an almost pretentious cool. Their lyrical darts target the usual suspects: jigginess and materialism. With often unwieldy, sometimes ambivalent flows and meandering beats, Anti-Pop live up to their name and then some. --Hua Hsu

Album Description
Well-produced & well-performed 2000 debut. The tongue-tripping raps, obtuse science-fiction metaphors & excellent minor-key productions on Tragic Epilogue immediately recall Kool Keith's Doctor Octagon, the 1996 LP that energized the rap underground. StilAlbum Details
