Description
The last we heard from Triad God was a James Ferraro collaboration way back in 2013, and we haven’t got a full-length from him since 2012’s NxB. As such, new LP Triad counts as something of a reintroduction for the Vietnam-born, Hong Kong-bred and London-based MC. Across this record we find Triad God half-rapping, half-speaking (and occasionally singing) his lyrics over productions from long-time ally Palmistry. Spitting primarily in Cantonese, Triad God creates a mournful feeling here that draws from Drain Gang, Yung Lean and Earl Sweatshirt. Palmistry’s fragile beats, halfway between Gobstopper and Tobago Tracks, only add add to the vibe
Triad God returns with his 2nd LP 黑社會 hak- se -wu Triad, spoken word raps in Vinh Ngans native Cantonese narrate and homage the descent to the underworld through a backdrop of Palmistry’s productions. Limited edition vinyl. Includes A2 poster and download card.
Triad God, real name Vinh Ngan, is a South London of Vietnamite / Hong Kong descent. Since 2011 his songs feature the rarefied production of Palmistry, the London based vocalist and producer currently signed with Mixpak. He has debuted on Hippos In Tanks in 2012 with the LP NXB and has collaborated in 2013 with James Ferraro on the single « Swarowski ».
His awaited return expands on the unique atmosphere of the project, and its encrypted, solo journey under the surface of reality.
