Iridescence
Studio album by Brockhampton
There is indeed a chain from Wu Tang to Odd Future to Brockhampton. It’s the disintegration of barriers. Surprise attacks. Love. Fierce even violent and even hateful love. This is music that gives me hope. We’re queer. We’re different. We’re the same. Stupid and smart. Brilliant like Licensed to Ill. Ready to party. It’s ****ing life bitches. Genital warts and all. I love this because what this album says to me is that the wildness and righteousness of youth will not be defeated. Hope springs eternal.
