Welcome to the Afterfuture
Mike Ladd

If you’re a fan of Madvillain or Cannibal Ox, this album will be right up your alley, if you’re not already aware of it. Personally, I wish I had discovered this album 25 years ago when it first came out, because this was exactly the kind of hip-hop I was searching for back then, experimental, technological, futuristic, and driven by edgy, electronic production that felt way ahead of its time. Unfortunately, because so much time has passed, it didn’t hit me with the same impact I know it would’ve back when I was younger. That said, I still appreciated it for what it was. I doubt I’ll ever return it, but I’m glad I finally discovered it, even if I’m 25 years late to the party.
