So, I am about 5 months behind on this one… as I was reviewing the releases from this year, I realized I had not posted anything from Das Racist‘s Relax. Quickly now before the year ends, here’s a stream of the second track (plus a spotify stream of the whole LP).

Ed. Note: While I did use the term “buzzsaw”, I made it through the whole post without mentioning The Ramones. Just so you know, Personal & the Pizzas are hands down the greatest mashup of Ramones-style punk and pizza that has ever existed. Prove me wrong.
