Big Ghost Ltd. & Conway "No One Mourns The Wicked"


The brand new collaborative LP from Big Ghost Ltd. and Conway the Machine, No One Mourns The Wicked. Big Ghost shared this message ahead of its release: "Most y'all already know the story... But for those that don't... 2015 was the year that Griselda Ghost dropped.. which was a Hall x Nash project by Westside Gunn x Conway, produced by Big Ghost Ltd... This is pre-Reject 2 and pre-FlyGod... If I told you I knew all along just how far these brothers would go n how much Griselda would go on to influence the culture as far as music n fashion n overall aesthetics... I would be lying. Cuz the world I know does not reward too many mfs for sticking to what they do best... it rewards the ones who conform n play by the rules. Hip Hop came from the streets. It came from a rebellious mindset that rejected conformity. It was bout making something outta nothing... Artists from the mud used subway trains as art galleries... kids used cardboard boxes to perfect windmills n backspins... Cats repurposed old records to create new music... This is the culture. Somewhere along the way Hip Hop became corporate n is now a globally dominant phenomenon that influences practically everything. Shit is competitive. To be able to stick to how you came in the door n not compromise your art at all... n still flourish... That right there is a real anomaly. Thats a glitch in the matrix. But this is how it should be. We don't need to try to appeal to the masses by doing what the masses want. We don't need to play by industry rules n let outta touch parasites choose how we create our art. Anyways y'all get ready for another masterpiece." That masterpiece is out now, No One Mourns The Wicked. Listen below and cop the album on vinyl, digital and/or CD...
