still don't nothin move but the money

i know i'm coming in a little late on this one, but ghostface killah's fishscale is an absolute monster. he's always one of the strongest coming out of the wu, but i think this new one even tops supreme clientele. favorite new tracks: "kilos" (maybe that "trap-hop" article wasn't so stupid after all?), "9 milli bros", and "big girl" (i'm just a sucker for those old motown samples...)

ghostface killah feat. cappadonna, trife, shawn wigs - jellyfish

sunn o))) also have the distinction of being one of the few artists that people have asked me to turn off. in my own apartment no less.
