Gutter Water

Gutter Water is the debut full-length studio album by American hip hop duo Gangrene.

It features guest appearances from Big Twins, Evidence, Fashawn, Guilty Simpson, Medaphoar, Planet Asia, Raekwon and Roc C. In his review for Spin, Christopher R. Weingarten made comparisons with Champion Sound, saying that the album "has none of Jaylib muted minimalism, opting for a barrage of manic rhymes and delirious clattering noise - haunted-house pianos, car crashes, backmasked ickiness, end-times news broadcasts, Godzilla whines, convulsive turntablism, and even the YouTube clip of a cop eating pot brownies".

And together, they've created a messy, impressive pile-up of half-broken piano loops and dense, clattery drum programming.

[3] Sean Ryon of HipHopDX found the album "an unrelenting head banger that cleverly blends the best elements of California's underground Hip Hop scene.

Lyrical setbacks aside, Gangrene's debut is an infectious combo of Alc's Kevlar-tough street anthems and Oh's musically off-kilter production".
