The new triple(!) album by Shrapknel is just crazy good, pairing their labyrinthine lyricism with three distinct but complementary producers

Wrote a few words about all three records

Treble @treblezine.bsky.social · Aug 18

Album of the Week: Shrapknel have delivered three new albums with three different producers - 'Lincoln Continental Breakfast,' 'Saisir le feu', and 'Armature', each showcasing a different side of their overwhelming, thrilling hip-hop sound

New Shrapknel is HEAT. Can't believe this is the 2nd of a 3 album release. I know they don't have a Roc nation assisted rollout but their output is staggering.
