Opening up pre-orders for the album, Chin releases it’s second single Hype Industrial Complex; a booming transcript of the experience of originators and tastemakers navigating an industry run by those who love Black art more than they love Black artists. A rare vocal appearance from the man himself, Chin steps out from behind the boards and onto the mic to detail the highs and the lows of creating within a machine often more concerned with optics and marketability than cultural significance. Channeling the sonic imagination of some of his earliest inspirations, The Neptunes, Chin crafts one of the most futuristic beats in his catalogue, tinged with an analogue finish, then proceeds to skate on it with a lyrical cocktail of equal parts humour, frustration, and optimistic swagger.
