Actualacid releases a love letter to pop & Memphis rap

His label describe the track as “the Backstreet Boys jumping on a Project Pat tune, crooning ‘let me be your crush’ amidst the violence”…

 

‘CRUSH’ is Jack Corrigan’s first solo release of the year under his moniker Actualacid, and according to the artist is marks a the beginning of a new era for the project. His sophomore album/tape ‘Boredoms 400’ is on the way, and it follows up 2018’s ‘Boredoms 500‘.

The new track is “inspired by the brevity of modern hip hop and pop, fizzling to closure before it ever hits the two minute mark. Peering through the thunder reveals a carefully-mixed, minimalist core pushing the enormous sound of the track, taking notes from Yeezus or the screwed-up maximalism of JPEGMAFIA.”

A two part video ‘CRUSH+APOLLO’ will drop in September, for now enjoy the latest single.
