Hear CX KiDTRONiK and Atari Teenage Riot ‘Go Krazy’ for Crack

CX KiDTRONiK Atari Teenage Riot 'Let's Get Krazy' Krak Attack Alec Empire Nic Endo

CX KiDTRONiK’s bona fides are impressive. A former member of Antipop Consortium, he’s since collaborated with Saul Williams and Trent Reznor, produced for GOOD Music rapper Consequence, and become a full-time member of German techno punx Atari Teenage Riot. But when you strip all of that away, the Crown Heights-based, Detroit-reared producer-MC is a but a simple man with a strong obsession: he sees ass crack wherever he goes.

In 2006, CX released Krak Attack, an ode to the condition sometimes known as Plumber’s Plight soundtracked by a frenetic mishmash of electro, metal, and hip-hop. For all of the aforementioned reasons, the guy has been a little busy since but he’s finally plotting a proper followup. Krak Attack 2: Ballad Of Elli Skiff not only continues the tribute, but expands the depth of the thing, with the title (and cover) referencing a pants-sagging New Hampshire woman who was arrested for refusing to leave an area mall.

And then there are the guests to consider: members of M.O.P., Fishbone, Airborn Audio and the Hit Squad; both MF DOOM (as King Gheedorah) and the estranged MF GRIMM; Los Angeles beat beast Jonwayne; and, of course, Alec Empire and Nic Endo of Atari Teenage Riot. Those two appear on the furious hardcore noise-rap explosion “Let’s Go Krazy,” a pummeling paean to freaking the fuck out that feels as fun as it is heavy. Get into it:
