One Liner: Art-noise-type aggravating rap and post-punk emo singing dreck
Home: Chicago
Poster Position: 25
Weekend One Only.
Saturday at 11:55 am.
Miller Lite Stage.
Thoughts: Ugh. The ACL lineup over the years has forced me to listen to things like this before, and I resent them for it. Mostly, this is the kind of thing where it sounds like a rapper collaborated with a free noise art app to make the least pleasant things he could come up with and rap/scream over. Like he thinks he is Tyler, the Creator, but just super is not. Then he also does those sorts of emo post-punk guitar things like that awful Travis Barker protege who was here a year or two ago. Kenny Hoopla. The Spotify bio says he is Nigerian born and Chicago raised. Not quite as awful as that Death Grips thing from last year, but in that wheelhouse. I want it to stop.
The best things in his Spotify are when it is someone else's song and he just appears to mess it up. My work computer is not allowed to access his website because it is blocked. That is scary. Real name is Godwill Oke, and he apparently went to the University of Wisconsin - Madison. He built his own home-studio setup in his room when he was 14 years old and spent hours teaching himself how to produce things.
His first few tracks, back in 2020, are unformed little minute long messes. "Mortal Kombat" actually has a pretty tight beat and flow over it. But less than 20k streams means it never went anywhere. No real albums, a couple little EPs that collect prior singles, and that is it. The top streamer is a 2023 one called "call and i'll answer." 491k streams.
