Josh Jacobs raps deftly with righteousness and swagger over a blend of bomba and trap beats on “LANDfill” taking on racist right wingers directly. But he doesn’t stop at the clever invective nor at racism but religious bigotry and classism. His flow and delivery is reminiscent of Vast Aire the way the latter will take some bars in a higher register and seem to answer back but elaborate in a different tone while maintaining a compelling narrative. It’s a refreshingly unapologetic song that embraces the the artist’s Hispanic heritage while calling out those who choose imagined safety in their relatively privileged economic status.
