Atrocity Exhibition CD

Third album, same two labels, Warp and Fool’s Gold, title lifted from Ballard and Joy Division both. The features are rationed, not scattered: Kendrick Lamar, Ab-Soul, and Earl Sweatshirt crowd "Really Doe," Kelela gets "From the Ground" to herself, B-Real gets "Get Hi." Paul White built most of it, and the record still cracked the Billboard 200 and clipped No. 5 on the R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, proof the strategy worked without anybody having to say so.
