RXK Nephew is the underground’s most unhinged rapper, and he’s back for seconds. The Rochester native known for memetic, conspiracy-adjacent freestyles on anything from chemtrails to crack sales to cryptocurrency just dropped ‘Till I’m Dead 2, a follow-up to last year’s fan-favorite album that might be even better than the first. Somewhere between Midwest-inspired rap, vaporwave, and jungle, it’s another chapter of Neph’s ongoing affair with dance music, which he’s celebrating on tour all June. Fresh off the wake up, we called him up while he ate pancakes and eggs to get his galaxy-brained take on some current affairs.
