PRESSED ON PINK-SMOKE COLORED VINYL
LIMITED TO 150 COPIES
Underground hip-hop legend Warcloud, formerly known as The Holocaust, is set to release a boundary-pushing album, Pinky Violence, in collaboration with the genre-blending duo Wakizashi Jabberwockyz. Infused with sukeban, a rebellious, female-led subculture from Japan, Pinky Violence promises an explosive mix of gritty hip-hop, Japanese exploitation film influences, and a taste of cosmic horror.
Warcloud, renowned for his 2006 self-titled LP produced by Blue Sky Black Death, takes his rugged storytelling to new heights alongside Wakizashi Jabberwockyz. Formed nearly a decade ago, Wakizashi Jabberwockyz consists of Okami Ghosthack (aka OMEGAH RED) and 7Rinth (aka Zen Studentz), who initially worked on an unreleased debut, Nekojiru'z Apartment. Thanks to veteran A&R M-Eighty, the duo connected with Warcloud, setting the stage for the creation of Pinky Violence.
Named after a Japanese film genre celebrated for its strong female anti-heroes, Pinky Violence brings cultural homage and intense energy. "Bitches and guns go together like Oreos and milk," says Okami Ghosthack, summarizing the album's unapologetic approach.
The album’s singles include “Pomeranian,” produced by Godfingaz and inspired by Noboru Iguchi’s Ghost Squad (2018); “Wan Shi Tong” by Lord Beatjitzu, with a cosmic horror-inspired hook by Ghosthack’s creative writing cousin; and the title track, produced by Spearman, featuring Killah Priest and Tracksuit Draculaz.
