The wait for the Santigold’s album, Master of My Make Believe, is almost over! The album is getting a release on May 1st… via Atlantic Records/Downtown, and today she releases the first official single, “Disparate Youth.” Produced by Santigold and Ricky Blaze, the track is a contemporary song with a new spin on punk & reggae that underscores its message of pushing through all roadblocks and claim “a life worth fighting for.”

I don’t want to say I get sick of super banger mental brostep music…but Culprate – Finger definitely cleansed my palette. True hip-hop – 100 BPM glitch-hop – that one bad trip you’ll never forget – aliens invading –  the result of the Feed Me parasite – so out of tune its in tune. The rest of the EP is pretty cool too, check it out on the SoundCloud Player below.
