    I was looking up Daveed Diggs after seeing this. He has done so much. He has awards for rapping, acting (stage and TV), writing (TV and Movie), and was nominated for a Hugo. Some people are just better. He is basically a less famous Donald Glover, which I mean as a huge compliment.

    Also, I listened to Visions of Bodies Being Burned last night, but I had my wife with me this time. I really enjoyed it, in the same way I liked There Existed an Addiction to Blood. Meaning I found it kind of unpleasant and enjoyed that haha. She hated it sadly, but was nice enough to sit with me through it anyways. I’ll have to listen to it by myself at some point because I think her being there made the experience less nerve-wracking than it would have been otherwise. Favorite track was probably Pain Everyday or Enlacing. My wife’s was Check the Lock I think. I think she liked it most because it was a relatively straight forward rap song.

      Haha I apologize to your wife. I know this music is not for everyone. I’m glad you enjoyed this album though. It’s my favorite from them.

      Apparently Diggs was the voice of Sebastian the crab in the recent live action little mermaid. Hopefully he continues to work with clipping despite the mainstream success.
