Extremism is bad storytelling. That said, bad storytelling can make for some of the best-selling melodramas in human history. Take the KJB (or MCU), for example. Its tales trade nuance for archetype, originality for accessibility. Themes are dictated, characters devices, plot holes be damned.

On “Technicolor Terror,” the UK’s Last Sons, MC Duke01 and DJ Furious P, shred far-right fundamentalist logic over center-left production by NYC prog-rap stalwart Uncommon Nasa. From ISIS combatants to white nationalists, no such faction can escape the sight line of Checkhov’s Gun.

That’s the album, out now. This is the lead single, premiering below.
