E. Grizzly and Height Keech have joined forces with the A-HA Network to release their highly anticipated album titled “Megalopolis.” E. Grizzly, hailing from Philadelphia, is celebrated for his innovative alt-rap sound and his work with the Afrobeat punk band, Felipe Pupo, which showcases his eclectic musical style. Height Keech, an accomplished MC and producer from Baltimore, is known for his collaborations with a wide range of artists, including Sam Herring of Future Islands and the experimental outfit Wave Generators, reflecting his versatility and depth in the music scene.
The concept of “Megalopolis” dives deep into the urban landscape, drawing inspiration from the cities that have shaped their lives and artistry, such as Philadelphia and Baltimore. It seeks to uncover the complexities of urban life and the profound emotions tied to these environments. The lead single, “Pretty Ugly,” serves as a poignant metaphor for the Northeast’s public transportation system. Through its lyrics, the song illustrates the duality of city life—highlighting both the beauty and the chaos of navigating through bustling urban infrastructure.
