Kill Bill: The Rapper and Rav with …&more… (Scuare and no1mportant)

Cult heroes of underground rap make their Maine debut.

Kill Bill: The Rapper and Rav are two of the best kept secrets in the current underground rap scene. With a deep history of over a decade of releasing music together through their rap guild, exociety, they’ve amassed a strong cult following through both their collaborative efforts as well as their solo works (many of which have charted on Billboard independently).

Despite cultivating a rabid, devoted fanbase all across the globe, they’ve somehow remained one of hip-hop’s hidden easter eggs; a rabbit hole of indie rap akin to a modern Def Jux or Anticon. After what feels like forever since releasing their cult classic mixtape, NEW MOON, Rav and Kill Bill: The Rapper reunite for their much anticipated first collab album, KEEP THE CHANGE! The duo join forces with an updated in-your face, industrial hip-hop sound reminiscent of the likes of Danny Brown and Run The Jewels.

Self-produced. DIY as fuck. Really rapping but not being corny about it. KEEP THE CHANGE! runs a gamut of sounds all the way from breakbeats a la Jet Set Radio to stumbling upon a forbidden forest ritual with crushing 808s squeezed between your breaths. Even in its diversity, KEEP THE CHANGE! somehow remains a cohesive and compelling listen.
