Bio - from allmusic
Featuring producer/rapper the Alchemist and rapper/producer Oh No, Gangrene was launched when these two strangers
were introduced by a mutual friend, rapper and Dilated Peoples member Evidence. Beats and verses were exchanged
through e-mail, and something casual and fun quickly turned serious, with the duo deciding to introduce Gangrene to
the world. The underground hip-hop haven Decon was just the label to do it, and in 2010 they released the project's
debut album, Gutter Water. Influenced by fuzz guitars and the whole psychedelic era, Vodka & Ayahuasca followed in
2012.
Album Review - from allmusic
With producer/rapper the Alchemist and rapper/producer Oh No behind the project, Gangrene is dirty, underground
hip-hop excellence as expected, but Vodka & Ayahuasca takes it to another level, or realm. "This is an acid
trip/Rancid spit" is how this album's title track explains the conceptual rip in space and time that's laid down
throughout, as Hendrix headbands and hi-tops come together like rap was spawned with the help of George Clinton's
Funkadelic rather than George Clinton's Parliament. "Auralac Bags" smells as much of old reefer as it does of
modern indo, and even as tracks like "Dump Truck" thump with the modern boom-bap, a sitar or whammy-bar is bound to
sneak in, making sure the total album experience lives up to its mind-bending cover art. This is dense stuff, too,
creating a patchouli cloud of sound that somehow still allows for prime beats and hooks to come through. Think Nick
Cannon starring in Good Times or Vivica A. Fox and Pam Grier as contemporaries and you've got the magic of Vodka &
Ayahuasca, a "not for everyone" album that lives in an impossible universe you never thought existed, and now have
a chance to visit.
