"Gertrude" by ILLFIGHTYOU (download here)
More fight music from Tacoma hip-hop trio ILLFIGHTYOU, "Gertrude," is a meal-deal of a track you won't find at McDonald's: knuckle sandwich with a glass of "devil's piss." (Non-figurative description: chunky jazz loop, tough-guy raps.) On the off chance that readers of this blog are concerned about the brawler energy in the group name or music, consider the last time you had an evil urge and instead of acting on it, made good art. When did that happen? If you actually have an answer, then you, like this group, are A-OK with me.
