Following on from the first of their signature ‘intro’ segments, the second track on experimental hip-hop trio clipping.’s debut 2013 self-released LP ‘Midcity’ features an early example of Daveed Diggs' eloquent and rapid flow interspersed with bursts and extended soundbites of heavy, often deafening distortion.

These two elements work perfectly hand-in-hand to create a harrowing, distressing soundscape. This track sets the tone and excellently reflects clipping.’s energy and style, with Diggs' lyrics pushing an excellent self-aware attitude and a rebellious motif that is featured constantly throughout the trio’s discography.

Creating violent, often sexually explicit imagery and portraying a pessimistic view on reality that buries its way into the listener’s mind with little subtlety, this track plunges the audience head first into the pure nastiness that clipping. expertly conjure.
