There’s more to cars than speed and style for rapper Nurminskiy. High-octane vehicles readily slide in and out of his multilayered chronicles about power struggles with the police, hopelessness and dreams of a better life—offering shelter and an escape from everyday evil. His rhymes provide stark contrast to his unhurried beats, threaded with poignant folk samples and references to his Tatar heritage. Nurminskiy also swerves into pulse-quickening club jams, which yield to catharsis and exhilarating singalongs.
