You’ve heard the haters’ standard bitch: “Man, the rap game these days ain’t nothin’ but a lobotomized, blinged-out, corporate pimp.” And while that’s true to a certain extent, hip-hop in the late aughts is anything but a bag of boring, homogenized bullshit. For every one-dimensional gangsta rap retread, you’ve got a Nintendo-obsessed hipster hopper, or a Tao-infused backpacker, or even some lyrically deranged, schizophrenic superstar like Lil’ Wayne. Basically, the rap world’s infested with weirdoes. Just look around …
And, for one creeping through our own backyard, meet the modestly odd Yakuillasin, a.k.a. YK.SIN, a Pasadena transplant who sounds sorta like the perpetually drunk test-tube baby of ODB, Kool Keith, and the Insane Clown Posse. Earlier this year, he gave us a 19-track opus entitled The Darker Side Of Light, featuring nuggets of certified strange such as “Count Drunkula,” “Lethal Injection,” and today’s free MP3, “Bump Datt.” Alternately hyper-violent, horny, dumb, dorky, and funny, YK.SIN keeps it street while also messing with rock riffs, sci-fi sound effects, and rubber ducky squeaks. He’s even got his own YouTube video series, Yakuillavizion, typified by this hater-baiting, nuclear apocalypse-themed episode wherein the Yak asks: “Will you witness the rebirth of hip-hop, or continue to dance in the flames?”
