MMM by Skinny Local, Cartel Madras

Are those war drums? Skinny Local and Cartel Madras take no prisoners in this wild, heaving, eastern rap-metal banger on Vancouver label Snakes x Ladders. Coming together again after the wildly successful 'Goonda Gold' collaboration of 2019, the Surrey-based producer teams up again with the Calgary and Toronto based sisters and rappers to create a noisy satisfying story about a character who is disillusioned and full of rage. Eboshi says "I chose to delve into the idea of “meeting my maker” to articulate the strange pessimism of the past year everyone was feeling and probably also because I was very angry for a lot of last year." Paired with a video by Gbohunmi shot in freezing temperatures in a warehouse on the outskirts of Calgary - this song and video are hot with rage, and cold with determination. Says the refrain at the songs end: "i'm just tryin to meet my maker, gimme some blood and sweat for my labour"
