Infinity Knives X Brian Ennals

Producer Infinity Knives’ adventurous, electronic-­driven tracks have been the perfect sound bed for Brian Ennals’ sharp social commentary and self-effacing sense of humor, going back to their joint 2020 project, Rhino XXL. That mesh is displayed on the Maryland artist’s latest LP. On “The Iron Wall,” Ennals declares “genocide’s as American as apple pie, baseball, and mass shootings.” The song, like the album, is an unabashed rebuke of Israel-U.S. relations and America’s overall warmongering. Ennals raps with a deliberate pace that gives every word its just space, evoking hip-hop’s original golden era in the best way. —Andre Gee (Rolling Stone)
