The time off from Grayskul gave Onry and JFK the opportunity to polish
their respective blades before stepping back into the booth to record
Zenith, their first release on Fake Four, Inc. The entire album was
conceived, written, and recorded in Momentum Studios in Seattle under
the watchful ear of sound engineer Zebulon Dak. Zenith finds Onry and
JFK at their storytelling finest, examining school shootings, hollow
social media existence, fatherhood, and the false allure of the club
under explosive production handled by Aesop Rock, Smoke, Void Pedal, and
Moodie Black. Raekwon starts the show in classic Wu fashion with a
spoken intro, and the record also features guest shots from Aesop,
Solilla, Reva DeVito, and Fake Four labelmate Terra Lopez of Sister
Crayon. True to its title, the 17-track Zenith is the masterfully
produced and executed crown jewel of Grayskul’s decade in the indie rap
game.
