The debut album — 4 tracks out now

Don't get
your ankles
twisted

Nine hardcore rap tracks about a quiet man in a quiet village, delivered like a death threat. He is not joking. He has never been joking.

The album

A record about
nothing happening

JDX raps like a man with a grudge. He has one. It's a cat.

Nine tracks of early-2000s East Coast menace — gravel voice, barked ad-libs, strings that sound like a threat — aimed entirely at a life in which nothing is at stake. A twisted ankle. A queue at the deli counter. A vehicle inspection. Two hours lost in IKEA Brno with a pram and a wife who has stopped speaking.

Recorded from a village of two thousand people in the Blansko district, the album never once winks. He is not joking about the ham. That's the point. Somewhere between the goulash that took four hours and the hallway he walks at three in the morning with a newborn, the joke stops being a joke — and the last track is just a man shovelling snow off a neighbour's path before anyone wakes up.

Nothing happened today. He'd like to tell you about it at length.
