"I want to spread the idea of freedom, whether in terms of nationality, sexual orientation, freedom to create, or freedom from the system. That's what I want to spread. And to let people know that it's okay to feel bad. We're all struggling. And when someone pretends not to worry, they're lying," rapper Dušan Vlk told Full Moon in an interview. Does that remind you of a band led by Fvck_Kvlt? Yes, it's the same sewer, so mainly punk, punk and rap. And also phonk, lo-fi or trap, these are the legs of the throne of the "prince of alternative rap in Prešov", who has gained a large fan base in our country. His debut album Asthmaboy was released three years ago, followed a year later by the EP Korporat and early last year by another EP Antikapitalistický mercedes. The titles of his records are telling enough, which is not the case with September's Babie leto v podzemí, probably the best we've heard from Vlk.
"Compared to the previous albums you can see a shift, Babie leto v podzemí is more serious, more mature. Thematically Vlk still holds a similar thread, there is no loss of emotional openness, debates about the underground, or specific vocal expression. There are also new themes related to the growing popularity, more social criticism is heard, and new musical elements. Instrumental backing, recitation, handing over the beats to other artists and moving away from the DIY approach, and the prevalence of the trap genre has enlivened the whole album and brought more diversity," wrote Full Moon magazine in a review. We can subscribe to that, but with the understanding that the studio recording in this case doesn't at all reflect what happens at Vlk's live shows. Punk and pogo.
