about
Joining forces from across the Atlantic, Slug Wife’s brazen co-founder Seppa, their resident battle-waxer Lone Drum, and NYC’s very own Rasp-5 busted through the Scoville scale with their latest single, “Dripper”. Pushing bass weight through its paces and fusing low-end ferocity with hip-hop fundamentals, the track is overt, in-your-face, and resoundingly guttural. Rasp-5 stokes the fires of lyricism with sauntered bars and a liquified pattern scheme, while Seppa’s trademarked synthesis slips from out of every downbeat in a boisterous dance between prose and grit. That dance intensifies with Lone Drums audacious scratching, culminating a firestorm of both precision cuts and off-kilter jabs. It’s a staunch tip of the hat to two sounds with far more than common ground between them, curated by our three favorite ne'er-do-wells in the street.
