For a 20 minute album, this one goes in on a lot with a gritty, dark boom-bap production style given the album's subject matters; from alcoholism, drug use, crime, and a struggling society; and yet Kitu Sewer's blunt, conversational flow, witty wordplay, and gripping narrations of the underworld make this a digestible listen.

TWISTED CHARACTERS AND THE MUSIC I THINK THEY'D LIKE! (savanaclaw ver.)

the part two i promised for no one specifically. i'm mainly doing every dorm because i want to -isa<3

LEONA KINGSCHOLAR

I actually think Leona would listen to music fairly frequently. He's a rich kid, I def headcanon he got one of them expensive ass sports cars and probably speeds on the highway blasting music, pissing off literally everyone else tryna drive home from work. His music taste would be surprisingly diverse, too. He'd probably like a mix of 2000s rnb which includes like Rihanna, Ne-Yo, AALIYAH SO OBVIOUSLY, Akon, and he'd be a (not obsessive) Beyonce stan. He'd listen to NYC and UK drill, and since I headcanon Sunset Savanna to be an East African inspired nation, he'd probably have some Kenyan/Tanzanian/Ugandan/Rwandan artists on his playlist too (since those countries are where Swahili is spoken widely.) I don't have any artists to name but if yall know some put me on.

RUGGIE BUCCHI

Ruggie, similar to Leona would have diverse music taste. Probably grew up surrounded by music, listening to whatever was on the radio while cooking sum for his grandmother, and now he uses one of Leona's ten credit cards to pay for his Spotify premium. He def listens to albums when he's chilling on his bed, studying/trying to unwind after a long day of running around. Though he grew up on similar traditional East African music, his favorite genres (IN MY OPINION) would be alternative hip hop and indie music. He LOVESSSSS Kanye West (tcd to yeezus), Tyler the Creator (and honestly all of OFWGKTA), Gorillaz, Childish Gambino, Vampire Weekend, and early alternative hip hop artists like the Beastie Boys, A Tribe Called Quest, Cypress Hill, etc. He was also probably put onto Britpop through Gorillaz, and likes Blur, Oasis, and (it's a secret tho) he fucks with Radiohead's "ok computer" album.

JACK HOWL

Jack is a canon gym rat. we already know he listens to music like HELL while he's bench pressing and doing pushups. I think he'd have similar music taste to Ruggie, excluding the "indie" part. (and he probably uses apple music, too.) Jack enjoys alternative hip-hop, and west coast hip-hop. He'd like Kanye and some of Tyler's popular songs, but he'd REALLY enjoy early 90s west coast rap like N.W.A, Dr. Dre. 2PAC ESPECIALLY, KENDRICK LAMAR ESPECIALLY. His favorite album is probably good kid maad city.

X-Men ‘97 Episode 1 Synopsis: We’re so Fukken’ Back

Welcome to the Synopsis land, where fan theories become canon, and canon becomes a mere fan theory. Also, there are a lot of bad jokes. (I promise I’ll add alt text soon)

This song is always incredible. It’s so much better than it has any right to be. The default font here is Trebuchet, as it reminds me of old-school internet forums.

Spelling fucking as “fukken’” has a long history in the synopsis format.

Every extra in this show is named Terry, as per synopsis tradition

Meet Storm aka Ororo Munroe. Her font is “Thunder” in the same red as the Kenyan flag.

Meet Bishop, our time traveling friend from the mid-21st century. He’s a fan of late-2010s internet culture, as it was the last good times before the horrors of Future Past hit. Font is Futura because he’s from the Future

Bishop leans on the fourth wall a few times because this is pop-culture to him

Roberto da Costa: rich kid, questioning his sexuality, secretly a nerd who plays Magic the Gathering. His font is the same as 90s MTG card titles (Goudy Mediaeval), and as green as the Brazillian flag.

Meet Cyclops aka Scott Summers. Camp counselor of the X-Men, shoved into being camp director. A basic bitch, he loves Elton John

Cyclops using his blasts to propel himself is so fukken’ tite

I’m not wasting an opportunity to make a UUUU joke when I can

Rogue and Gambit: southerners after my own heart. Both are trans. They have found…creative ways to have sex while avoiding each other’s powers. Blues and Rock music enjoyers. Their font is “Magnolia Script” because Mississippi is the Magnolia state and it looks like the Zapp’s chips logo

Meet Morph. Very nonbinary. Hopelessly romantic for Wolverine. an East Coast Hip-Hop aficionado. While other characters use color as a constant, morph uses font (Comic Neue Angular) as a constant and varies their color depending on presentation.

Jean Grey is the X-Men’s resident chaos gremlin. She stops arguments by pitching more ridiculous ideas. Spice Girls fanatic.

The Benga Manifesto

Whereas the US music scene was propped up by the African American culture of the 90s, the Nigeria by its 2013/16 arts growth, the Kenyan scene is yet to fully utilize its mojo! We need a Benga revolution!

The US of A boasts of about 140mn + boppers who ACTIVELY listen, buy & subscribe to music, with avg streams of 75min a day a pax. The music business owes the 40mn+ African Americans of the 90/2000’s who blew up the Rap, Hip Hop and RnB culture into the world. The 1985-2005 period produced the most creative of acts, genres building up to the peak of music sales in yr 2000. Akina Run DMC, Magu,…
