High Focus Vinyl & CDs

Review: Cult psychedelic rap don Onoe Caponoe's fifth studio album, Concrete Fantasia on High Focus Records, is another vivid and vital work that weaves a dark fantasy that blurs genre boundaries and combines great references to fantastical realms with gritty inner-city realities. It takes listeners on a surreal journey that draws on movie samples to make intricate vignettes and adds mind-bending lyricism into the unique soundscapes. As Onoe Caponoe masterfully navigates between whimsical escapism and raw urban life, featuring characters like Pinocchio in the hood and an Ice King in a frostbitten kingdom, you cannot help but be charmed.
