Danny Brown)<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Main Attrakionz are a duo who&#8217;ve been the forerunners in the emerging ambient rap scene, mostly stemming from the bay area, but being accelerated by artists like Clams Casino and A$AP Rocky. Taking strong influence from artists like Lil&#8217; B, Main Attrakionz embrace a consciously lo-fi aesthetic and achieve a hazy, atmospheric blur that is both highly original and sublime in its effectiveness. In a genre so defined by poignant details and clear assertion, the two rapper\/producers (Squadda B &amp; Mondre Man) often reverb their vocals to indistinguishable extremes, allowing them to blend into the beat and embellish a textured wall of sound. Lo-Fi aesthetics are nothing new; in fact they&#8217;ve been the clear entry point for the definitive indie-rap artists of our day (i.e. Odd Future), but the Main Attrakionz show a surprising amount of focus and visceral control with a very defined sonic mode.
