Two indie hip-hop mainstays join forces to break ground on Hostile Engineering, their debut album via Fused Arrow. Producer Steel Tipped Dove lays a rugged foundation for Lt Headtrip’s lyricism in a tight composite of charged tracks. Headtrip excavates the faults of Western society addressing contentious neighbors, poisoned religions, and hazardous work conditions, all written from within the confines of a society built to oppress its inhabitants. Dove’s production echoes the discontentment of a culture on the brink of collapse.
