“

Alternative rap group Guerrilla Ghost have a new track out today, with “Wesley Snipes In Mo’ Better Blues”. The track is the second single from their upcoming project, “The Trumaine EP”. With dark, haunting synths and a lack of snares, the track is built around Bad Graphics Ghost’s vocals, with lyrics about persevering against a myriad of circumstances, both internal and external. It’s a touch different from their more politically charged material, but still in the realm of Guerrilla Ghost’s core sound.

Though they’ve certainly earned a breather after managing both a volume and a caliber of production that would even be astounding in non-pandemic times, Guerrilla Ghost has yet another release up its sleeve. And it’s a doozy.

Touching on personal issues ranging from mental health to addiction to trauma, they chose Snipes as a protagonist merely because the duo are fans of his work. Much of the material here began as loose concepts from before the pandemic, but the last year certainly inspired Guerrilla Ghost to develop said concepts into something cohesive, ultimately culminating in a narrative of demons that feels more relevant than ever. Tron Jovi and Bad Graphics Ghost are hardworking and consistent, and we have a feeling 2021 will be a productive yet impactful year for them.

Milwaukee Record’s favorite Milwaukee music of 2021.
In March, hybrid hip-hop duo Guerrilla Ghost released The Trumaine EP. The record—named after Wesley Snipes’ character in the 1986 film Wildcats—is said to serve as “a vehicle to complete loose concepts and material.” Some of those ideas found a spot on the duo’s We Get What We Deserve, with others making their debut on this semi-conceptual collection. The Trumaine EP impressively combines Tron Jovi’s raw and ominous production with Bad Graphics Ghost’s emotional delivery of personal lyrics in seven impressive songs that just so happen to be named after an accomplished actor.
