Description

Split single between Subtitle with Omid and Free Moral Agents with Beegs Alchemy. Founding member of Free Moral Agents, Isaiah Owens has quite a track record behind him. Currently filling the spot behind the keyboards in the Mars Volta, Owens was also a member of ska-punkers Sublime and has done session work with funk legend Shuggie Otis and roots reggae act Wailing Souls.

Regardless of its merits and flaws, Subtitle’s track confirms the arrival of a rap innovator in the tradition of Kool Keith, MF Doom, Doseone, and Missy Elliott; naturally, attempts to pigeonhole him end in futility. Sub’s an emo-rapper at heart but he embodies his vulnerable human sentiments in a sputtering glitch-hop that epitomizes cold technological precision. These contradictions congeal into a music that’s unmistakably Subtitle’s own, so when he brags about his innovator-status, the bluster is earned.
