Lately, Runkus felt a deeper calling in the direction of the world of visible artwork, which has result in working with Bahamian artist Tavares Strachan, whose multi-disciplinary output has earned him a MacArthur Genius Prize. With the brand new album, SUPERNOVA, which incorporates visitor appearances by Sean Paul and Peter Tosh, they’ve reignited a seamless collaboration of music and artwork, following within the footsteps of pairings like The Velvet Underground & Andy Warhol, Kanye West & Virgil Abloh, and (nearer to Runkus’s house nation of Jamaica) Bob Marley & Neville Garrick. Roots reggae, thumping bass, dancehall vitality, and deep lyricism merge collectively to inform a narrative of life and demise, the sheep and the wolf, the model of you that has to die for the following one to be born, all components of SUPERNOVA.
