Infinity Knives & Brian Ennal – Sometimes, Papi Chulo
Sometimes, Papi Chulo—the latest from experimental hip-hop duo Infinity Knives and Brian Ennals—is a masterclass in turning chaos into catharsis. Born from a series of comedic disasters (lost recordings, existential crises, and a basement studio that doubled as a therapy couch), the track stitches together jagged beats, sardonic lyricism, and a DIY ethos that laughs in the face of polish. Lines like “Sometimes you raise your kids right / They come out fucked” walk the tightrope between nihilism and stand-up comedy while clattering synths and fractured rhythms mirror the messiness of modern life.
Key to the chaos? Producer-engineer FRANKI3, whose homemade Eurorack modules and guerrilla mic techniques gave the track its feral edge. The result isn’t pretty—it’s better. A middle finger to late-stage capitalism, systemic violence, and the idea that art needs to be pleasant. This isn’t background music; it’s a mirror held up to a world on fire, sound tracked by two artists who’d rather provoke than pacify.
