to have started rapping in 2017, and within a year he had become innovative and prolific, dropping a glut of songs across a series of albums — “Certified Goon,” “Beware of Goon,” “Homicide Boys,” “Big 64,” “Goonrich Urkel” and more — that recounted a variety of nightmare scenarios with dreamlike cool. Saturated with mood, his verses depicted a world of menace and paranoia, but where mortality was somehow negotiable.
of his outstanding 2019 album “Back From Hell,” he rapped with composure and dash, declaring that he’d already “died twice.”When we describe music as “timeless,” we’re usually talking about durability, suggesting that a particular song or sound transcends the fickle fashions of the day. Goonew made timeless music in a different way. It very much belonged to its moment, but what it did in that moment felt like a little metaphysical denial of time itself.
