“Prime Conspiracy” review by The Word Is Bond

“[A]n experimental tune that is made up of moody textures, clicks and pops with sparse drum grooves [and] off-kilter and lyric-dense performances…” – The Word Is Bond

The Word Is Bond came through with an excellent short review of “Prime Conspiracy”, the final single from the aborted collab project between Conspiracy of Supreme Being Unit and District Prime (of Primal Winds), now going by No Town Vandal.

Unreleased single “Prime Conspiracy” from Conspiracy & District Prime

Originally recorded in 2016/2017 for a collaboration project with Conspiracy, District Prime and producer DJ Matto, “Prime Conspiracy” is the second and last song to be recorded for the project that was aborted shortly thereafter. Their first song was released on Bassments of Badmen 3 as “Under the Influence” but “Prime Conspiracy” was just sitting on my hard drive until now.

Revenge Vol 2 at #160 on IRM’s Top 180 Albums of 2023

The Dirty Sample en rajoute une bonne couche dans la noirceur et le glauque cinématographique pour flirter avec le hip-hop du caveau d’un Jakprogresso, tandis que le flow plus éteint et lugubre du rappeur se met au diapason.” – Indie Rock Magazine
