about

Been Down So Long... explores the convergence between rap and the Hill Country Blues of Mississippi. The vocals move from spoken word and Southern rap toward something new. The grimy guitar work pushes the sound of each song into a kind of juke joint rap, replete with much of what Blues mythology has to offer: incantations and spells, bones and red moons, tricksters...where most things haven't worked out.
