About this album
Where they were
When 'Friday Night at St. Andrews' was released in 2010, Bizarre was already known as a member of the influential hip-hop group D12, which had achieved mainstream success with their albums in the early 2000s. This album marked a significant solo venture for him after the group's peak years, showcasing his distinct comedic style amidst darker themes that define his work.
Why it matters
This album is notable for its unapologetic exploration of taboo subjects and its unique blend of comedy with horrorcore elements. Although it didn't achieve mainstream chart success, it reinforced Bizarre's reputation as a boundary-pushing artist in underground hip-hop, influencing similar artists who blend humor and serious topics.
Essential tracks
- "Here We Go (Off Da Chain)" — This track captures Bizarre's signature playful yet unsettling style, seamlessly merging catchy hooks with offbeat humor that sets the tone for the album.
- "Smoking Crack" — A vivid narrative that exemplifies Bizarre's provocative storytelling, this track stands out for its raw honesty and darkly comedic approach to serious issues.
- "I Love the Babies" — This song starkly contrasts with its seemingly innocent title, demonstrating Bizarre's knack for subversive humor that challenges listener expectations throughout the album.
