[ 𝙲 𝚁 𝙰 𝚅 𝙴 ] John Z. K full albums on bandcamp "Prolific DIY outsider JZK materializes on Heat Crimes for his latest rap deconstruction, using the sonic structures of noise and hardcore to elevate his modernist Memphis-inspired darkside vignettes. A cinephile, John approaches his music as if each track was a different scene from a movie, using field recordings, obscure recording techniques and different voices to help tell a mangled story. John's words boom across the ambience like the voice of God, morphing from a sermon into a throaty rap as synthetic string plucks shift from horror soundtrack to trap banger. But John never takes the easy route; his music's made with mood in mind, and just before it can erupt into a crowdpleaser, it disintegrates into eerie noise." -Boomkat, September 2023
