KID ACNE Returns with Spectacular Diagnostics-produced "TRANSISTORS" from Upcoming Album NULL & VOID (Lewis Recordings)

"Connect with real life and ditch the Palm Pilot," KID ACNE invites Jaz Kahina & Vandal Savage to power-up. No need to fear Friday The 13th when KID ACNE gets to testing "TRANSISTORS," the first single taken from his new album, NULL & VOID. Joined by East London firebrand Jaz Kahina and Nottingham's Vandal Savage of the infamous VVV syndicate (alongside Juga-Naut & Cappo,) "TRANSISTORS" has Chicago producer Spectacular Diagnostics tuning up bouncy, horn-lead Funk, perfect for the triumvirate to pump out a posse cut applying "higher science to the microphone appliance." Don't believe the hype? Check the opening sample of The Green Eyed Bandit, veteran emcee Erick Sermon, setting The South Yorks agenda. NULL & VOID, KID ACNE's fifth album and his first for London behemoths Lewis Recordings, promises a continuation of Hip-Hop delivering the mind-bending with unique everyman knowhow.


Spectacular Diagnostics (Conway The Machine, HU$ KINGPIN, Vic Spencer, WestsideGunn) is back on the boards for KID ACNE's latest magical mystery tour, cutting the shackles of screen time and heading back to the great (socially-distanced) outdoors with a fresh batch of wavy, chaos theorising Boom-Bap. Found playing in post-Millennium RAP TRAFFIC and pouring COUNCIL POP before plotting to ATTACK THE MONOLITH as part of B-boy outsiders MONGRELS, KID ACNE's 2019 opus, HAVE A WORD, had The Wire waxing lyrical over the album's slick, classically Hip-Hop sensibilities. MOJO & DJ Magazine shared the enthusiasm, all while BBC 6 Music's Nemone, The Clash/Big Audio Dynamite affiliate Don Letts, Gilles Peterson, Gideon Coe, and Chris Hawkins nodded in agreement. These shrewd maneuvers forever putting an individual spin on keeping it real, run parallel with his stalwart status within the international Street Art movement, KIS ACNE's prominence across wall space, continents, and exhibitions stretching past two decades.
