Abrasive hardcore rap that feels dangerous in the best possible way - Li Wenjun shot like a rocket outta hell last year with his hard-hitting and visceral release, The Vigil of Oriental Youth That Never Ends. Rapping through gritted teeth over pummeling beats that sound like they’re being played through an amp way past its expiration date, Wenjun tears across a terrain of restlessness, anger, and confusion with uncompromising conviction. In a time where both punk and rap have become more and more sterile, Li Wenjun seems to have found the perfect outlet for his angst, recalling the work of Nascar Aloe and Death Grips. Exhilarating stuff that’s sure to strike a chord - the performer looks to tear it up at OKOK this Sunday with support from Shanghai punk act Moya.
