Guerrilla Ghost
We Get What We Deserve

“

If there’s ever been a time for an act like Guerrilla Ghost, now is that time. The group’s new single, “In Memory Of” featuring Armstrong Ransome was released on Wednesday, and addresses the systemic racism that is at the focal point of protests around the world right now. The song was released ahead of the group’s new album, “We Get What We Deserve”, which is due out at the end of July. The song names the victims of unjust killings like Mike Brown and Trayvon Martin, and feels like an appropriate rallying cry, as well as a reminder of why the protests that are happening now around the world are so important.

If you are feeling the new jams by Run the Jewels or Immortal Technique, you will dig these guys a lot. You may recall that we featured GG in these webpages a few years back, and they are back harder and sharper than ever on this new track.

The album delivers the kind of aggressive intensity that hammers home a message over 15 bold tracks and you know, for sure, you are never far from the gravity of the situation. In this respect, you can tell it’s a lockdown production: it screams liberation and blame. And the certainty of our future somehow only makes things worse. For some, escaping this confinement — any confinement — is a slow suicide in an unjust world that’s filled with hatred, greed, destruction and danger. Listen and weep.

We’ve already gotten a preview single from the group, but their second official single from the project, “Wesley Snipes In Demolition Man” is out now. With some dark, lurking production from Tron Jovi, the track has a little bit more swagger than most to it, with Bad Graphics Ghost reminding you that Guerrilla Ghost is here, and they’re a force to be reckoned with. Few can bring in the elements of electronic, hip hop, and noise the way that Guerrilla Ghost blend them together, and this is a reminder that the duo can make strong music with a message when the time calls for it.

The sociopolitical lyrics hit every nerve and engage your cortex. Guerrilla Ghost has a message in every song. If its uncomfortable they confront it. Setting it at the top of your thoughts and the tip of your tongue. The heavy synth lines and other metal and punk elements unify. Creating a heavy, dark atmosphere. While keeping your neck snapping to every word Bad Graphics Ghost spits. As much as every beat Tron Jovi commits.

We Get What We Deserve hits all the high notes of a good hip hop album. There is enough heavy elements here to keep it nestled between pure hip hop and a plethora of metal subgenres. This album breaks 4 out of 5 necks easily.

Guerrilla Ghost is an avant-garde Hip Hop duo from Milwaukee. The duo takes the rumbling charge of boom-bap and bolts aggressive, clanging beats over the top. It's hard, it's abrasive, and it kicks. So, it's fitting that on their new track, "Algorithm Nation 1814", the duo teams up with the freakiest of all emcees: the interstellar Kool Keith! While Guerrilla Ghost cranks forward, Keith beams in and in classic Kool Keith style, drops stream-of-conscious raps that seem to have no beginning and no end. The dude is cosmic.

Algorithm Nation 1814” is a track that reacts to the world’s obsession with subscribing to whatever content is fed to them. Keith leads things off with a verse about internet culture, and Bad Graphics Ghost provides a hook proclaiming that “free thinkers are dangerous,” summing up the song’s message in the quickest way possible.

The 15-track release tackles everything from immigration issues to society’s reliance on social media, while sonically serving as a fusion of dubstep, electronica, hip hop, screamo and more. It’s a hard-driving affair that isn’t afraid to sound confrontational.

With dangerously hot beats from Tron Jovi that go right at stimulating the central nervous system, as well as witty, diverse lyrical/vocal delivery from Bad Graphics Ghost, the duo have easily gone from “good” to “great” on with their second studio effort. Although still not attracting nearly as much attention as some of the other more entrenched artists in the industrial hip-hop hemisphere, Guerrilla Ghost are nonetheless carving out a damn fine name for themselves, and strongly hinting that, with time, they may very well become their own giants of the style.

It's hard to fathom many people living through the pandemic agreeing with the logic behind the rap-rock duo's second album. But Guerrilla Ghost makes a case of sorts rallying against society's many sins. Led by Bad Graphic Ghost's furious delivery, "Deserve" decries inhumane detention of migrant children on "The Immigrant Song," racial profiling and black people killed by police on "In Memory Of" (with top Milwaukee rapper Armstrong Ransome), and features noted New York rapper Kool Keith on "Algorithm Nation 1814," a condemnation of mob mentality in our social media era.

This is not an album for everyone, and even those with a cursory interest in hip-hop might be put off by the eclectic nature of Tron Jovi’s beats, but for fans of other experimental hip-hop groups this will be another one to add to the collection. Indeed this should also appeal to metal and punk fans too – with screamed vocals and fast beats the structure of each song is not far off a big metalcore song with breakdowns. If nothing else, Bad Graphics Ghost has one of the best voices in hip-hop today, and to hear him break out a proper scream before returning to spit bars is an incredible feat, and really adds to the immersion of this album. Check this out before GUERRILLA GHOST are the next DEATH GRIPS. 8/10

We Get What We Deserve sums up what 2020 was like. A mix of screaming, headbanging, vibing, social injustice, political unrest and so much more. Nothing seems to make sense and is only feeling like it gets worse as people move through the year. Guerrilla Ghost evokes those feelings while discussing the topics that got people where they are today. The fusion of hip-hop with punk, metal, electronic and dubstep on top of quick flows and eccentric lyricism allows listeners to confront reality in a different way. This album isn’t the light and heartfelt project that many artists might want out during this tough time. It is true to Guerrilla Ghost and is a more accurate reflection of society today.
