super interesting read! i love how much you let all the highlighted artists speak for themselves. loading up each respective album while i read that section was fun, despite how "distracting" defrag rap should be to the act of reading.

i saw the title of this article the other day and before coming back to read it i wanted to imagine what sound(s) you were referring to. during an ensuing ellesdee trip i grabbed "the no music" by themselves off the shelf. similar, sure, but listening to the albums in this article, i see a clear demarcation (although doseone is certainly part of the ongoing movement).

i'm left wondering, can i make defrag rap? have i already? if not, should i? it seems less sonic goal, more unhelpable sonic outcome.
