Music.Īrtillery Splurgin' by Gene The Southern Child & Parallel Thought A decidedly fresh album, it’s one for El-P fans looking for this year’s answer to Killer Mike’s R.A.P. Parallel Thought keep things on the level from beginning to end, adding an endearing horror-drenched backdrop to Gene’s Southern rhymes and keeping a firm grip on the fact that the record’s supposed to played in its entirety.Īrtillery Splurgin’ isn’t afraid to look to the past to go forward, and while Parallel Thought might drag a number of their samples from rap music’s past, there’s never a sense that you’re listening to a record that’s lost in the anal retentive world of the backpack golden age revivalists. It used to be that a single producer or production unit (DJ Premier with Gang Starr, The Ummah with Tribe Called Quest) could pull together a rap album and keep it coherent, but in the days of scrappy 20+ track mixtapes it’s becoming far rarer to find. One thing that’s noticeable right from the beginning is how unusual it is these days to have a unique vision from the beginning to the end of a record. Teased by B-sides compilation Higher Caliber from a few weeks back, Artillery Splurgin’ is the latest full-length from Alabama rapper Gene the Southern Child and producers Parallel Thought.
