The Green Seed

Drapetomania is brimming with lyrics of fury courtesy of emcees R-Tist and C.O.M.P.L.E.T., the stabbing attacks ofDJ FX and Jeff C, and a sound world layered with textures and trunk-rattling beats. With producer Jeffrey Cain(Remy Zero), engineer Kyle Ginther, and mastering guru Paul Logus - R-tists beats hit dizzying new heights.Youd be forgiven for thinking that Drapetomania wasnt the product of the Dirty South rather than the grit of JDillas Detroit or otherworldly productions of Lex Records. Also a feast for eyes showcasing the artworkof EHQuestionmark - the design collective behind much of Lexs output (Neon Neon, DOOM). Drapetomaniacontemplates bondage - artistic, romantic, etc. - but, ultimately, its a soundtrack to Freedom. And whatevercomes next. The vinyl component contains a digital download card.
