Lou The Human was in the midst of an interesting process, a self-invention musical reinvention. Having originally entered the game as Eminem and Cage’s noted pupil, Lou’s penchant for twisted bars helped him establish a lyrically inclined fanbase. Yet as time went on, Lou’s music began to undergo a transformation, leaving behind lyrics in favor of melody and vibe, as seen on tracks like the previous “Empty Bottle” loosie. Today, the rapper came through with another track, possibly in a “rough” state, given the title.
It’s fair to say “Insanity Rough” may be his most experimental path to date. In fact, Lou crooning almost unintelligibly finds the whole track, his voice masked by distortion and filters, to the point where discerning fragmented lyrics requires additional concentration. Most likely, the slow-burning cut will yield a mixed response, but a man willing to experiment with his own artistic inclinations must be applauded. Do you feel the human’s new cut?
