Providence, Rhode Island's Wolfman Jeckyll describes himself as a lyricist and beatsmith, and he's been releasing like someone with nothing to prove and a lot to get out Body Bag Tapestries, The Dust of What Once Was…, two Meets the Nerds volumes, the Night Terrors collaboration with Bugsy H., WOLF GANG, and a limited 7" for "A Win Is A Win," which he produced himself. "Blue Collar Blues" is the new single, self-released, three minutes twenty-four. No producer credit is listed for this one, so the write-up stays with the title and the catalogue: Jeckyll's lane is dark, loop-based boom-bap with the vocal pushed to the front, and he works in the grainy register that's made him a fixture of the New England underground, where he also runs with Goon Union. The title sets an expectation work, wear, and a complaint you can't file and three and a half minutes is enough time to make it rather than announce it. No video, no announced album, no artwork note. Just a single from an independent who has put out more records in four years than most artists with a deal. For anyone digging the Rhode Island and Massachusetts end of the East Coast underground, this is a name worth having on the list.
