Ecco2k Releases Solo Album Echo
Seven years after his debut solo LP, Ecco2k released his second full-length album, Echo, Pitchfork reported.
The 12-track project arrived on the rapper-producer’s own label, 9th, on November 12. Press materials describe the record as following a vagabond character who wanders mountains, deserts, beaches, cities, and villages with a broadcast antenna and a crown of flowers, searching for signals in a world of overwhelming beauty and indifference.

Zak Arogundade, who performs as Ecco2k, produced every song on the album either solo or alongside regular collaborators Gud, Whitearmor, Felix Lee, and Mechatok. The album contains no featured artists and includes previously released singles “Aldehydes and Ketones” and “Sky Burial.”
