Church has begun, but a member of the congregation has opted to skip the universal day of worship to hit a series of licks before the service lets out, throwing dust in the eyes of people looking for the devil in a rainbow of Sunday hats donned in all the wrong places.
DC-based artist ANKHLEJOHN's profane album "Lordy Is God" turned the non-gospel artists making gospel music trend on its head to provide his own word and codes to live by. But right out the gate ANKHLEJOHN's introductory song "Book of Genesis" plays out the assassination of the religiose image of Kanye West and the Sunday Service Choir's "Every Hour." And it remains the record in need of being talked about the most.
Sampling the choir's vocals in an uncut way baits and switches all expectations of the record, making that slip into a sordid underworld courtesy of the production a satisfying change. A slow burning cigarette blues riff stressed melodically is heavily weighted with the forthcoming themes of the album. ANKHLE's flow boxes out the pocket in order to fill the verse with ill metaphors and punchlines reminiscent of a superior family tree planted by Roc Marc.
"Book of Genesis" shreds the warm welcome a project typically gives you in lieu of filtering the sentiments of the song through a film noir lens. And when viewed as a whole, a solid project get into.
Listen to "Book of Genesis" and "Lordy Is God" in full below.
