This the man responsible for Playboi Carti

[@Lilyakiimo]

Anybody who truly loves not only music but art in general knows what awful records is. That was one of my favorite eras ever and was a huge part of my high school life. I remember being inspired by them because awful records was and is one of the few entities in the creative world that is genuinely DIY.
