Enter Clipping, flash fiction genre masters in a hip-hop world firmly rooted in memoir. If first person confessionals historically reign, the mid-city Los Angeles trio of rapper Daveed Diggs and producers William Hutson and Jonathan Snipes have spent the last half-decade terraforming their own patch of soil, replete with conceptual labyrinths and industrial chaos. They have conjured a mutant emanation of the future, built at odd angles atop the hallowed foundation of the past.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTheir third album for Sub Pop, There Existed an Addiction to Blood, finds them interpreting another rap splinter sect through their singular lens. This is clipping’s transmutation of horrorcore, a purposefully absurdist and creatively significant sub-genre that flourished in the mid-90s. If some of its most notable pioneers included Brotha Lynch Hung and Gravediggaz, it also encompasses seminal works from the Geto Boys, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, and the near-entirety of classic Memphis cassette tape rap.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1  Intro\u003cbr\u003e2  Nothing is Safe\u003cbr\u003e3  Play\u003cbr\u003e4  He Dead\u003cbr\u003e5  Haunting (interlude)\u003cbr\u003e6  La Mala Ordina\u003cbr\u003e7  Club Down\u003cbr\u003e8  Prophecy (interlude)\u003cbr\u003e9  Run for Your Life\u003cbr\u003e10  The Show\u003cbr\u003e11  Possession (interlude)\u003cbr\u003e12  All in Your Head\u003cbr\u003e13  Blood of the Fang\u003cbr\u003e14  Story 7\u003cbr\u003e15  Attunement\u003cbr\u003e16  Piano Burning\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sub Pop Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57847760814263,"sku":null,"price":26.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0532\/2555\/4103\/files\/3727616-2502956.jpg?v=1792791115","url":"https:\/\/skyvalleyrecords.com\/products\/clipping-there-existed-an-addiction-to-blood-2xlp","provider":"Sky Valley Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
