After his second cardiac arrest where his heart was revived for the second time in Homerton Hospital (Hackney, London, UK), MR 28GRAMS decided to give life another chance. Upon recovery and returning to his routines, he coasted over to his neighbor’s to bum weed. Fellow Homerton resident, Finnish trans woman, rapper and producer Ville Valoton recently moved to London in search for refuge from the transphobia she experienced in her native country. As it happened, Ville was working on her first set of beats and MR 28GRAMS decided to stay for a smoke. Returned from the kitchen with cups of tea, Ville found him freestyling on her productions and pressed record. Soon they’d completed a collection of emotive, gloomy and raw experimental music.

Streams of the unconscious, Ville Valoton presents MR 28GRAMS: 28 GRAMS IN A JAR (FREESTYLES) reflects upon a collapsing contemporary society. MR 28GRAMS’ freestyled vocals are street prophecies latent with anarchist political satire. They are the lived experiences of an enlightened, battle-scarred black man with a massive heart: a heart that mirrors an ailing society.
