Career

Dibiase released his debut album, Machines Hate Me, on Alpha Pup Records in 2010.[3] Pitchfork Media gave it 5.8 out of 10,[4] while Resident Advisor gave it 4 out of 5.[5] Before doing music, he made a living as a graphic artist.[6] Unlike most hip-hop producers who use the Akai MPC and SP-1200, he primarily utilizes the SP-303 and SP-404 installments, for they provide a gritty lo-fi sound.[7][8]

gollark: Evolution DOES NOT go around selecting for "the good of the species" or something.
gollark: In one study, there were flies put in some conditions where they couldn't have many children, and instead of evolving to have fewer, they just cannibalized each other's young.
gollark: What? I don't think evolution generally selects for group benefits.
gollark: According to the osmarks.tk styropyro discord political compass interactive data visualization™, C4 has an Arbitrary Cultural Score of -6.5.
gollark: How would *that* work? Don't you have a lockscreen?
