Angry Blackmen & Kop-Z & Agent J

Angry Blackmen — the Chicago hip-hop outfit of Quentin Branch and Brian Warren — announce their new album, The Legend of ABM, out January 26th, 2024 on Deathbomb Arc, and present lead single/video, “Stanley Kubrick.” ABM’s second full-length and third release for Deathbomb, The Legend of ABM is a 30-minute coming of age narrative centered around Black men navigating this wilderness known as North America. A crucial and affecting inspiration was Richard Matheson’s 1954 post-apocalyptic horror novel I Am Legend: “For us, this album is kinda like our villain origin story, a bedtime story and introduction to those who have and haven’t heard of us yet. Black men have historically been the boogie men of America, so I think it’s fitting that we tell our own legend.”
