Hip-hop's been a juxtaposition for quite some time. On the one hand, you have some of the most innovative work imaginable coming out of the farthest reaches. The other side is dominated by chancers and fakers. It's safe to say Clipping exist in the former. And we really do mean former. "There Existed An Addiction To Blood" is not just an album that is trying to extend the boundaries of a crew's sound, but the boundaries of the very genre itself. Horrorcore it may be, an establish sub-canon within the gamut, but this takes us to new, visceral extremes. Daveed Diggs' lyricism shines, cuts and satisfies, in particular on opener "Nothing Is Safe", which draws on influences such as John Carpenter's iconic theme to his equally iconic slasher flick, "Halloween". Bloodlust indeed, a theme that continues throughout a collection of work sitting just the right side of thrillingly scary, and just the right side of not.
