Pronoia 776672 Trilogy Part 1

This first installment of the trilogy is an expansive look at the South African underground circa 2015. It features a diverse roster of talent, including The CapTn, Anti-B, and Uni-VERSE, but leans heavily on the versatility of Two Point Owe, who appears on three separate tracks: “Hold On,” “Two AM,” and “Its All Over.”

The project highlights the label’s collaborative spirit, with notable features such as “Serephim Swords” by WitchCrAft featuring Alka and Hymphatic Thabs, and a “Tainted Love (dubclashremix)” by Zetina Mosia.

While the tracklist is eclectic–ranging from the boom-bap production of “Stone Kold Killa” (Anti-B) to the more experimental “Weird Analyst” (Markus Corvine)–it maintains a consistent thread of raw, unfiltered expression. The album closes with a “dope contribution” from Slege Lee on “Jozi Slang,” grounding the project in the urban landscape of Johannesburg.

Overall, 776672 Trilogy Part 1 is less a cohesive studio album and more a curated gallery of the region’s freshest talent, fulfilling Pronoia.Africa’s mission to discover and promote undiscovered local artists.
