David Cohn's latest LP is a fine chronicle of the amiable pessimism and occasional nihilism of a rapping Bukowski who can't seem to find a way out of the condition in which he finds himself.

7 / 10

Anticon MC and Chicago native David Cohn treats us to a journey inside his mind on C.A.R.: an often fascinating experience of word association and rhyming.

Check out our album review of Artist's C.A.R. on Rolling Stone.com.

Credited to Serengeti, but featuring a three-way collab between the rapper and Anticon mainstays Jel and Odd Nosdam, C.A.R. is a deliciously loose and accessible album from the awkward artistic leaders of the US underground hip-hop scene. Clocking eleven tracks in a little over thirty minutes, it's heavy on strange sonic ideas and grooves but light on head-mangling concepts or approaches, which is part of its broad appeal.
