Quelle Chris questions just about everything across the masterful, thirteen-track album Guns.
Every time a shooting makes the news talking heads pop up in small boxes and make loud arguments about how we shouldn’t rush to politicize what just happened. After all, the heads argue, guns don’t kill people. People kill people. But how true is that? Are the tools we use simply tools, innocuous until we give them meaning? Or are the things we surround ourselves with –– the things in our arsenal –– begging to be weaponized, for good or for evil? Guns, the new album from the critically acclaimed rapper and producer Quelle Chris, is a careful study of all these questions, an urgent record for urgent times.
Cali and Detroit connect on the Child Of The Jungle album from MED & Guilty Simpson. The project boasts production from Madlib, Nottz, Black Milk, MNDSGN, Karriem Riggins, Apollo Brown and more.
