You are the product being harvested The greatest show in the universe The human experience What are those shadows in the corner of your eye Unidentified light in the sky Unseen hand playing tricks with your mind If life is a game, what is the prize?
Outsider Music A reflection of all the moments of glory and awkwardness deep inside you - the parts of the brain you neglect - trying to find a way for you to see the world the way I do This the type of ish to get lit with your peeps with and the kind of vibe you keep tight like a secret Yesterday’s Blues | Tomorrow’s ZOOZ is a bold, genre-fluid project that blends gritty boom-bap textures with introspective lyricism. GENERIK crafts a vivid sonic mood—nostalgic yet restless—where dense samples and punchy drums sit alongside reflective wordplay, creating a listener experience that feels both intimate and expansive. The production stands out for its tactile warmth and purposeful imperfections, giving each track a distinct character while maintaining a cohesive through-line. Standout moments include tracks that juxtapose hard-edged rhythms with melancholic melodies, capturing a sense of personal reflection in motion. The album rewards repeated listens, revealing new details in the textures and clever sonics threaded throughout. Overall, it’s a confident release that showcases GENERIK’s willingness to push boundaries while staying true to a deeply personal voice. If you’re into immersive, texturally rich hip-hop that wears its influences with pride yet sounds unmistakably its own, Yesterday’s Blues | Tomorrow’s ZOOZ is worth a listen. credits released May 28, 2024 Written, Recorded & Produced by Generik* Scratches on 2 & 6 by JamOne Additional Vox on 1 & 6 by Melina J9 Guitar on 2 by Jah Gimli Additional wax work by DJ Barspin Mastered by Vinz Clortho Captured and Engineered at Tharcoughaguth Recordings Art & Design by Summon Else Additional Photography by Melina J9
