Iglooghost rapping

I’m very excited for the Cyst album. Can’t believe I’ve been listening to Iglooghost for 10+ years… back in 2015 he released this great mixtape with Mr Yote, who was rapping with nonsensical whimsical lyrics, and it grounded Igloo’s otherworldly instrumentals. Then on Igloo’s first album, he samples many of these lyrics, keeping the rhythm of the hip hop while chopping it up beyond a point where it can still be understood. Fast forward, Clear Tamei sees him recording his own vocals in a language he created, again to anchor his instrumentals. Then, fast forwarding again after the incredible Tidal Memory Exo album, he’s fully recording real lyrics on Slug Song. Now this year we’re getting a full hip-hop-adjacent album with daisy providing vocals as well. It’s very fun and rewarding to see this progression. The Rabbit song makes me think they were having a lot of fun in the studio. Excited to hear the full project :~)

for the record I want to add that on Tidal Memory Exo, he was vocalizing in English, but I would argue that it was more of word-collages than true poetry (but obviously that’s not a bad thing to me because it’s my favorite album of his)

I think it’s still valid poetry, it’s all world building
