This isn't classic boom bap, but it belongs on any serious radar. doseone – poet, rapper, singer, painter, producer, and member of Anticon, cLOUDDEAD, Subtle, and 13&God – is one of the defining figures of American experimental underground rap. With Height Keech (Dan Keech, a Baltimore fixture), he's built a series: the first *Wood Teeth* was a blistering six-song EP capturing the frustration and anger modern America is sowing in its people, written the week of 6/9/25 and recorded in protest on 6/14/25. doseone splatters his skittering rasp all over Height Keech's classic fuzz-rock samples – a powerful combination. The follow-up is here: *Wood Teeth II* is a scathing, slapping six-song sequel that doubles down on emotion, writing, and production to capture the still sordid and broken modern Amerikkka, this time bringing along one of the artists who inspired the original – the immutable Brian Ennals. The vinyl includes instrumentals on the B side. Raps and art by doseone, produced by Height Keech. For heads who want their protest music jagged, literate, and utterly uncompromising, this is essential.
