After we first introduced them in March of 2021 as a 'cast of shameless characters,' Greyspot Syndicate’s seven members have done a lot of work individually and through collaborations.
Udon notes the influence of digital culture in every aspect of society.
Though their earlier mixtapes aimed toward digital culture as a whole, infusing elements of fashion and “nerd culture,” the gaming aspect didn’t become apparent until later. And while video games began adopting aspects of hip-hop into games likefor decades, Designer Artillery are one of few lyrical artists adopting videogame themes into rap music, making music videos overlaying popular video games and directly referencing game culture in their verses and style.
Udon’s verse in the first Designer Artillery goes, “I got a long-ass reach with Burberry Bowstaff. HBO special how I make them hoes laugh.”As active gamers, the duo's topics, style and delivery are inventive and well-placed in hip-hop. A back-and-forth rap style makes their music invigorating for gamers and non-gamers alike, and exclusive for those in the know, as they make plays on words and specific references to game tactics appreciated only by those who have played the games.
The storylines are well drawn for all who listen, though, as they bounce off one another with ongoing ad-libs that personify the game world, with onomatopoeias of weapon sounds, personalized gamer knowledge and inside jokes that characterize the Designer Artillery brand.
