Hailed as “genuinely cool, risky, and relentless” and one of “The 100 Best Songs of the 2020s So Far” by Pitchfork, A Great Chaos debuted impressively at No. 11 on the Billboard 200. It also won esteem critical acclaim from industry giants like The New York Times, Billboard, Rolling Stone and Complex, was placed on several “Best Of 2023” lists, and earned praise from icons such as Jay Z, Drake, J. Cole, Red Hot Chill Pepper’s, Anthony Kiedis, and more. In under a year since its release, the album has been certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America. Listen HERE.
