Having spent the past few years touring with the Prefuse 73 steamroller, Leb-Laze (Atlanta DJ and producer Ryan Rasheed) might be expected to drop some kinda glitch-hop steez on Life in the Wilderness, the follow-up to his debut Eastern Developments EP, Pressure. Instead, Life in the Wilderness finds Rasheed lost in a fever dream, ducking and dodging an army of Michael Knight imposters high on crunk juice. As the paranoia mounts, Rasheed plays ringmaster to a dense mix of ping-ponging guitars, rolling drums, and his own keyboard manipulations.

This record is ideal for sporting events and powder-fueled car chases. Life in the Wilderness features Randy Castello (The Flakes, Tight Bros Network), Alex Lambert (The Flakes, Blame Game, Lie & Swell), Nisa Asokan (Fifth Planet Press), and John Simmons (Knamiproko).
