“Survival Of The Fittest”
I started compiling a mix of pieces that had a wee bit of a darker theme or narrative attached, in my head at least, and then veered tangentially into the delta and heavy hip hop, boom bap to me, gunning to others, and as always, ended up on the wrong side of the tracks, in my head at least.
