"Prolific DIY outsider John Z. K. materializes on Heat Crimes for his latest rap deconstruction, using the sonic structures of noise and hardcore to elevate his modernist Memphis-inspired darkside vignettes. A cinephile, John approaches his music as if each track was a different scene from a movie, using field recordings, obscure recording techniques and different voices to help tell a mangled story. John's words boom across the ambience like the voice of God, morphing from a sermon into a throaty rap as synthetic string plucks shift from horror soundtrack to trap banger. But John never takes the easy route; his music's made with mood in mind, and just before it can erupt into a crowdpleaser, it disintegrates into eerie noise." -Boomkat, September 2023 "Inner War Delirium, the latest in the producer’s experiments as Crave, is hard to define for its unearthly merging of hip-hop and grindcore but at its kernel, it feels like a cinematic epic. Each track is approached like a scene from a film, with different voices, sounds and emotions contributing to an atmosphere of chaos and gutsy, mutated sonics." -The Quietus, September 2023 He is also known as Sniper Bait, Lieu Noir, nevada_jerky_gurl23 & Soul Collector.
