Raleigh Moncrief – “Lament For Morning” from anticon. on Vimeo.
Hannibal Moncrief not only invented chillwave, but he also invented Moncrief. So it’s a slap in his gizzard to see this Raleigh impostor running around and signing to Anticon. Anticon, you reject Hannibal’s 2002 avant white rap opus, Music for the Advancement of Moncrief and then you sign another Crief instead. He doesn’t even have his own coat of arms. To say nothing about the time Hannibal and Sole did that conceptual art piece where we turned Blake Lively into Miss Viola Swamp and filmed fake American Apparel ads. Hannibal is socio-culturally anarchistic, yo.
But he cannot deny that deep down, somewhere between his femur and his achilles tendon, Hannibal enjoys Raleigh’s music. It makes him sadder than the first time We Are Scientists threw him out of the band for “creative misadventure.” Hannibal would like to form a super group with Serengeti and Raleigh Moncrief. Hannibal hates Shaq too. He even hates Shake Shack in New York. He is up for working. Don’t believe the rumors about a lazy work ethic or a frequent inclination to leave band practice to go shopping for jeggings. That was an isolated incident. True story.
