What they're saying: A review at ClashMusic.com hails the Calgary based rap duo’s unique mix of Desi (westernized Indian) perspectives and a loud and confrontational sound. And from a introductory profile in Exclaim Magazine: “At its core, Age of the Goonda is trap music: it's brash, it's rowdy and it's fun. But laced throughout are nods to South Asian culture, Hinduism, race and queer identity.”

What we say: This is wildly addictive party music that brings a really fresh perspective to the rap paradigm. The Age Of Goonda and Trapistan EPs are available as a single cassette from Sub-Pop. (Yes, cassette only for now.)
