Half God vinyl

Wiki is Patrick Morales, who came up as one third of NYC hip-hop crew Ratking before dropping the solo mixtape Lil' Me and his debut album No Mountains In Manhattan on XL in 2017. Now he's back with his third album Half God, and he's going deep on the experience of growing up in New York and how it's shaped him as a person. His relentless flow of poetic lyricism is delivered in stark terms, backed up by Navy Blue's production throughout. Shy of typical beats and breaks, this is a more musical, flowing kind of rap which hits with nostalgia and sentimentality to match the hard-bitten street-level perspective Wiki invites us into.
