“BOMBS 1″ by Nok from the Future

Rappers hiding behind masks and costumes is nothing new, MF DOOM has been doing it for years, but with the emergence of the internet as a hip-hop  breeding ground, it makes sense now more than ever. Through aesthetic choices like production style, vocal processing, and wardrobe, artists like Nok from the Future are able to create characters from scratch and broadcast them on the internet without ever having to step outside into the physical realm (bonus points if you do). It just so happens that this works particularly well with Nok’s robotic, auto-tuned cadence, allowing him to be one of the preeminent modern artists of this style.
