‘Fallen House, Sunken City’ B Dolan’s 2010 debut offering was a monument of indie rap at a time when the industry had all but abandoned it. Aggressive, booming and confrontational, the Providence native announced himself as a high powered presence on the mic. Dedicated to its vision and heedless to trends, ‘Fallen’ House’ was met with critical acclaim and cult status forecasting the resurgence of lyrically driven rap years ahead of its time.

It’s no surprise then that in the 5 years since Dolan has ignored demand for a speedy follow up and focused on building another ambitious epic long player. Its finally here following over 500 shows in the past decade with acts such as Atmosphere, Sage Francis and hardcore bands such as Circle Takes The Square and United Nations.

‘Kill The Wolf’ features an eclectic and unlikely cast of collaborators including Aesop Rock, Buck 65, Kathleen Stubelek of Circle Takes The Square and the late Dave Lamb of Brown Bird. The LP features production from Alias, Cecil Otter, Buddy Peace and more. It would be easy for an album to go astray with such varying styles but Dolan stays in full command utilizing his guests’ talents in surprising ways all while maintaining the foreground as a seasoned lyricist and songwriter.

‘B Dolan has cursed me repeating the same lines over and over again in my head since i met him. Come to Jamaica, Come to Dubai. Damn you B Dolan. Shit knocks’ – EL-P.
