Metem LP by KoFlow

Purchase / Stream

The world is shaped by the conjoined forces of creation and destruction. But the tension between both births a third channel of energy, one which is fundamentally progressive, one whose lifeblood is unassailably inspiring: Regeneration. And it’s never been more needed than now.

As the world reckons with the possibility of total erasure via a truly global pandemic, we look to art as a salve, as a bringer of hope, as a next-level reminder of the power of human ingenuity.

Enter Metem, the new album by Singaporean hip-hop linchpin Koflow. Christened after the philosophical concept of metempsychosis, which the ancient Greeks regarded as the transmigration of the soul, especially its reincarnation after death, the album is a hypervivid rendering of the corresponding evolution of hip-hop’s essence into new forms of music, new canvases and expressive worlds.
