Goyard & The Kayfabe Reveal by Ghais Guevara

For fans of Clouddead, Lil Ugly Mane, Nas, light beach reading like Anti Oedipus and Finnegan’s Wake, and the overlooked inner drives which govern all human behavior, Goyard & The Kayfabe Reveal by Ghais Guevara addresses the deep history of systemic violence through an abstract, poetic hip hop style which burrows into our collective psyche. Paragraphs of spoken heavy philosophy tether the record to the postmodern advancements upon classical psychoanalysis, progress which forces us to critically reexamine our obsession with archetypes, myths, and family dynamics. The pervasiveness of these restrictive categories result in the repressive, reactionary world which gets discussed across the rest of the record, told through these figuratively vibrant verses which bring us face to face with all kinds of people who unintentionally reflect these restrictive ideas. As we melt into these cloudy, subtly distorted backing beats, we join a spiritual countercurrent which deconstructs this bigotry from the inside out, building the groundwork for genuine, permanent change.
