about

The Indignorance LP pulls issues apart, separating the angry from the uninformed. Yet there’s optimism here, as Council of Word take some of the nihilism out of the problem by finding the humor in it. The production work is based on the music that came before it – on digging in the crates – rather than on songs cut from whole cloth. This record, which follows "Thin Air Acclimation" in 2001 and "CO2: a heavy gas" in 2009, surely adds to the legacy of Hip Hop in Denver.

Of the producers, DJ A-L leads the way with two tracks, while the majority of the album is produced by Council of Word core members Deeprawk Dave and Danny One Shoe. Joining on the mic are local legends like Mike Wird and Url Gravy, all escaping the constrictions of professional rap.

This type of project could come from anywhere, and should come from everywhere: just link up some ill emcees with some tight beats. And yet, in 2020, it’s coming straight out of Colorado, the state that is in the news for everything but Hip Hop.
