“Bitter Rhetoric” by Abyss, produced by North Carolina’s own Applied Dynamics, is a raw, underground hip-hop gem. Abyss delivers surgical, ominous lyricism that runs through, riding over a haunting blend of lo-fi stabs and vintage boom-bap drums. The dynamic textures of the beat and Abyss’s shadowy syllabic wordplay create a dark, immersive vibe that speaks directly to the soul of hip-hop purists.
