Album US 2009 on Speakeasy Records Tru Ruts label
Hip-Hop/Rap (Conscious)
An Unwelcome Guest is a hip hop concept album from Twin Cities producer Big Cats! and rapper Guante. Over fifteen tracks, the album tells the story of one man moving from east to west in the wake of a man-made disaster and his own personal tragedy. Also, there are zombies. The album features guest appearances from Haley Bonar, Prolyphic (of Strange Famous Records), Big Quarters, Chastity Brown and Eric Blair (of Hyder Ali and No Bird Sing). Through the album’s unique narrative frame, these artists join Guante in exploring issues of displacement, authority and the difference between the violence of the oppressor and the violence of the oppressed. Also: zombies.
