The evolution of Chicago duo Angry Blackmen has grown interestingly more experimental. Both Brian Warren and Quentin Branch, as their fury balloons, become more logical and practical about where and how to place said emotions. And when you go Super Saiyan, like on this Wendigo-produced cut "USA!," you are gonna want to know what to do when that power hits.
"USA!" revs up with ear-splitting intro yells over a multiplying bass drum at an impossible bpm, harnessing spare energy and musical elements from Japanoise and Speedcore. The track then takes a more controlled demolition form. A distorted synth blares in one tone for the entire duration of the song. Disquieting chords drop in and torture the melody while battered drums and percussion throw you off your equilibrium, having you comfortably Nemo among the chaos.
Quentin's disruptive verse rejects every status quo under the sun. Operating with metaphors, a couple similes, a sweeping delivery and popping flow, Branch stands in as that beacon to find a righteous path that boldly runs through the mess of America's white supremacist power structure (with cheese). Brian's taunting hook and verse wields a pecking flow, unleashing all the ignorant high-jinx he's getting himself into from the freedom he demanded, then took.
"USA!" is by far the most belligerent song Angry Blackmen have dropped. The two rappers are out to get many somebodies. You better hope you aren't one of them.
Listen to "USA!" below.
